Alan Landburg Productions, later known as Reeves Entertainment Group is a TV production company founded by Alan Landsburg in 1974. Jump to: navigation, search 1974 is a common year starting on Tuesday (click on link for calendar). ...


The Logos That Were Used

The nickname for the Mid 70s-1981 variant was Director's Block. Over a black BG, a director's slate is seen. 5 arrows facing to the right appear on screen one segment at a time. The top half of the slate then rises, and rapidly drops down and hits the bottom half. This changes the top half into the words Alan Landsburg. Jump to: navigation, search Slate Slate is a fine-grained, homogeneous, sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash which has been metamorphosed (foliated) in layers (bedded deposits). ...


The top half of the slate rises again, then drops down once more. This causes the bottom half to change into the word "PRODUCTIONS". Another slate pops in on top of the words in traffic arrow fashion. The music was the sound effects of a camera shutter as the segmented lines appear, followed by a clapperboard sound during the respective action. The end of a themesong is sometimes heard on some programs.


The 1981-1986 variant had on a black background the stylized blue "ALP". Then it is blacked out, revealing behind it:


Alan Landsburg Productions A Reeves Communications Company


The music for this logo was a very 1980s stinger, with overcomposed synthesizers. The term synthesiser is also used to mean frequency synthesiser, an electronic system found in communications. ...


The 1986 variant was only used for a year. On the left is a stylised REG, similar to the ALP in logo #2. To the right in the same font as Alan Landsburg Productions in logo #2 is Reeves Entertainment Group A Reeves Communications Company. It used the same music as its predecessor.

The 1986-1991 variant's nickname was Day-Glo Reeves. A stylized Blue "R", which is decorated with vertical black stripes on its left side shines against a black background before backing away a bit. A similar "E" slides out from the right of the "R". It shines, and then a "G" comes out of the right of the "E", shines, and completes the logo. When it stops, the words "Reeves Entertainment Group" appear underneath, and under that appears "A Reeves Communications Company". The theme used was a light, 5 note synthesized tune.


The third variant was used from 1991-1994. On a black BG, a smiling face, representive of comedy, is seen moving up towards the top of the screen, followed by a frowning face, representive of tragedy. Underneath the faces, several shards come together to form a blue triangle, and the black BG has turned to a dark gray. The words "REEVES ENTERTAINMENT" fade in at the triangle's tip, and "A Thames Television Company" appears below that. The music was a warm, 4-note synth theme which was also used at the end of the 1st logo's run. The classic Thames Television logo (1969 - 1989), featuring a geographically incorrect montage of London landmarks. ...
