Dunn Films

Background
Dunn Films was a production company formed by Robert and Linda Dunn in 1986, based in Carson City, Nevada. The Dunns would join Entropy Films in 1999, having previously been hired to assist in American co-productions before they moved to California.

1st Logo (1986-1992)
Logo: On a black background we see the letters in the word "DUNN" unfold. They are set in a bold Indigo font. A line draws beneath the word and "FILMS" in a skinny scarlet font unfold as well.

FX/SFX: The words and the line.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic horn fanfare, ending with a synth glissando.

Availability: Appeared on the TV movie Eight Years and the first two episodes of County Law.

2nd Logo (1994)
Logo: We see a skidmark fade in with the word "DUNN" etched onto it. Beneath it is a cut out ovular section with the word "Films" in a script font. "A" is above the skidmark and "PRODUCTION" is beneath everything.

FX/SFX: None, beyond the fade in.

Music/Sounds: Tires screeching, followed by a cat screech and a slam.

Availability: Seen on much older prints of The Milkman, particularly early VHS releases through Cabin Fever Entertainment. Modern prints had the opening logos plastered by those for Universal Studios and Lakeshore Entertainment; this is owed to international sales being handled by October Films, whose prints were used for cable airings, whereas Lakeshore Entertainment inherited Trans Atlantic Entertainment's catalog (Trans Atlantic handled co-distribution with I.R.S. Media on this film). Strangely, cable airings did not show any opening logos, cutting right to the film.

2nd Logo (1997)
Logo: On a purple background, we see Robert and Linda Dunn facing away from the viewer, with the text "FILMS' DUNN" above them in a white Comic Sans font. Robert hits the left side of the text and it rotates, now displaying "DUNN FILMS". Linda looks toward Robert.

FX/SFX: Basically all live action, along with the text.

Music/Sounds: A cranking noise, followed by a pop and a man's laughter.

Availability: Was only seen on the TV movie Rabies: A Neighborhood's Nightmare.
