I must be the oldest person here on YouTube, but I vividly remember the second Logo and jingle (No. 2) at the conclusion of the closing theme for the original "Burke's Law" that was on Friday nights on ABC way back in early 1964. I specifically remember that "jingle" with the Logo because it always reminded me to stay tuned to the TV because "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" would be coming on next. This really brought back memories for me! Thanks for posting this!
Joesph Mullendore composed 1965-'66 Four Star "Signature", 'GOOSEY' (the one heard on "AMOS BURKE- SECRET AGENT", 'HONEY WEST", and "THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS SHOW").
Four Star Television was co-founded by Dick Powell (his is the voice heard in the first logo), Charles Boyer, David Niven and Ida Lupino in 1952, although it was primarily Powell's outfit. Aaron Spelling was "discovered" by Powell, and wrote and produced numerous TV series for Four Star until he left in 1966 because, as he put it, "Some idiot decided to wipe Dick Powell's name off the masthead" {he died in 1963}. Today, the Four Star library is controlled by 20th Century-Fox Television.
@fromthesidelines when the 1965 four star jingle that was composed by joseph mullendore. introduced in what month. did they have it on amos burke,secret agent. as well as the big valley the only four star color series back in 1965. honey west and the smothers brothers show. i got the DVD's of burke's law season 1 volume 1 and 2 i bought them over at FYE at tacoma mall. september 16,2010
@Staszu13 To be quite truthful ,watching TV as a child , I don't remember the cartoony diamonds logo , the CGI Four Stars International logo ( also quite well done ) , nor the banner flying from the sky , I only remembered the logo with the stars on the side that came at the end of every episode of Big Valley ( I think ) .
Great tribute to a long-gone TV production company. Out of all the logos Four Star went through in its history, my favorite has to be the "Four Star International" from 1968 to 1975.
This is really nice. I just wish you could have put the first one with the four stars' names in it. But great job!!!! :)

You forgot to include the variation of the banner logo where the announcer says "filmed by Four Star"

I stand corrected: the MAJORITY of the Four Star TV library is controlled by 20th Century-Fox Television. Thanks for the corrections, 'GOOSEY'! :)

Why am I suddenly reminded of the Jetsons when I see the Four Star Diamonds (0:30)?

@Staszu13 I love the diamond logo

@Pinky39559 I prefer the CGI one. The banner used to scare the shit out of me. Diamonds? Ok, but the animation is way cheesy.
