Nicknames: "The Yellow/Orange Line", "Script" Logo: On a black background, an orange line begins to draw itself. Going down and turning it forms an "L", then makes a loop to form an "O", turns again and goes up, around and diagonally to form an "R" and then back up to form an "I". Another section starts, goes up, diagonally down, diagonally up, then down again to form an "M", then up and down again at angles to form an "A", then finally, up, around, and down diagonally to form a second "R". The resulting logo reads "LORIMAR", all in connected letters. Trivia: The logo was created in 1977 by Paul Pascarella and made its debut in 1978. Variants: This comes with or without a registered trademark "®" symbol on the lower-right hand corner of the letter "R". This logo has two main distinctive colors, which are yellow and orange. Depending on the print quality, variants of the two colors exist including yellow-orange and athletic gold. A red-colored variant exists on theatrical movies, the 1980-81 Dallas blooper video, and the soap opera Loving Friends and Perfect Couples. Some programs show the text "DISTRIBUTED BY" above. This was mainly seen on TV prints of Allied Artists films. TV movies and some shows had "P R E S E N T S" appear below. Another opening variant is still and has "LORIMAR" in its font and "Presents" (in a Helvetica font) in red. On the opening of the 1985 Christopher Columbus miniseries, the in-credit text reads "and LORIMAR" with "LORIMAR" in its font. The end of presentations would have "a presentation of" above the logo. Later episodes of the 1980s version of Dream House superimpose this logo's animation in-credit. There exists a black & white version of the "a presentation of" version. In this one, the top text is a little thicker and it's silent. There is another version with "DISTRIBUTED BY" above the logo in a font that resembles "Cooper Black" in white, and is still, but with the music. A black & white version of this also exists. A zoomed-in widescreen variant exists on the Warner Archive instant streaming release of the 1982 TV movie One Shoe Makes it Murder. In the 1983 TV movie Pajama Tops, the logo becomes a still image shortly after its animation finishes. After the music ends, it fades to black. FX/SFX: Good 2D animation, and impeccable timing with the music. Music/Sounds: Same as the last logo or silence. Music/Sounds Variants: On a Hallmark Channel Italy airing of Dallas season 2 episode "Black Market Baby", the Lorimar-Telepictures theme was heard over it due to a reverse plaster error. On the blooper video for the 1980-1981 season of Dallas, the music is replaced with multiple sci-fi style gunshot sound effects. Availability: Uncommon, bordering on rare. Can be seen on The Waltons, Dallas, Knots Landing, and Falcon Crest episodes of the era, as well as various other shows, TV movies and miniseries that Lorimar produced during this time. The "PRESENTS" version has been long gone from television, however, but is still intact on the first season DVD set of Knots Landing and a couple of episodes on the DVD set of the first season of Falcon Crest. This can also be found on much later episodes of the 1980s version of Dream House as well, though that version of the show is now only intact from off-air recordings, as the master copies of all the episodes and production materials (which were not held by either Lorimar or WB) were destroyed in a flood in 2013. The B&W version of the "A presentation of Lorimar" logo is found on the 1989 VHS release of House on Haunted Hill, released by CBS/Fox Video (though the box has the Lorimar-Telepictures logo). On some pre-fall 1986 episodes of Falcon Crest, it's plastered over with the Lorimar-Telepictures logo. This logo was also originally seen at the end of S3-S5 episodes of Eight is Enough, but was plastered over by the 1990 WBTD logo on some reruns in syndication. This was originally seen on the pilot of Valerie and early episodes of Perfect Strangers, but the 1st and 2nd season box sets of the latter show replace it with the Lorimar-Telepictures logo. It also appeared on the 1983 unsold CBS TV pilot The Best of Times. It has been spotted at the end of the Karl-Lorimar, Lorimar Home Video, and Warner Home Video prints of Americathon with the music (it was omitted from the Warner Archive DVD release), as well as a select handful of Dallas episodes on DVD from season 3 and onward, Dallas: The Early Years on DVD from the Dallas Movie Collection (preceded by the Roundelay logo), and followed by the 1972 "Distributed by Warner Bros." logo on some episodes of Knots Landing on DVD. It was seen at the end of the unsold game show pilot Babble, when Game Show Network first aired the full pilot on October 5th, 2014 (without the credit crunching). The Warner Archive instant streaming retains this on the TV movies Desperate Lives and One Shoe Makes it Murder. Scare Factor: Depends on the variant: Regular variant: Medium to high.
