(December 29, 1986?-November 18, 1994)

Logo: On a black background, we see a giant solid gold Italicized "B" in 2D with a letter "F" inside the solid that appears to be a cote-out. Underneath the logo, the text says "Fiedler/Berlin" in a medium-sized font and the text "Productions, Inc." all in gold lettering.

Variants:

On the game show Wordplay, the logo is smaller and underneath the logo there is a co-production logo for Rick Ambrose Television.
On the game show Treasure Mall, the text "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" is seen above the logo.
On the game show Trump Card, the Fiedler/Berlin text is on the side of the "B" logo. There is a logo above the Fiedler/Berlin logo for Createl Ltd. There is a line below that separates between the Createl and Fiedler/Berlin logos.

Technique: A shining wipe effect.

Music/Sounds: A choir sings with a light four note theme. On Wordplay, it's the end-title theme. On Trump Card, announcer Chuck Reilly announces "Trump Card is a production of Createl Ltd. and Fiedler/Berlin Productions, in association with Telepictures Productions and is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution."

Availability: Extinct. It was seen on the short-lived game shows Wordplay, Treasure Mall, and Trump Card. It may have been seen on the 80s game show Chance for Romance and Top to Bottom.
