K/O Paper Products
From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum
K/O Paper Products (also known as Kurtzman/Orci Paper Products) was an American film and television production company founded by screenwriters Alex Kurtzman (who also owns his sole company Secret Hideout) and Roberto Orci in 2004. They are best known for their work on the CBS shows Hawaii Five-0 (2010) and Scorpion. In 2016, the duo announced the end of their partnership, effectively rendering the company defunct; this logo remained on use on their series that were still running until Hawaii Five-0 ended in 2020.
Visuals: The screen fades in on a script which is printed on a long scroll of paper. The camera pulls back to reveal that the scroll is coming from a typewriter, on which two sets of hands rapidly type. They stop for a bit as the leftmost hand pushes the typewriter's carriage to its staring position as the name "K/O PAPER PRODUCTS" fades in above, then the hands resume typing.
Variants:
- On TV shows, the logo is shortened.
- On Scorpion, the logo is squished and shares the screen with the Blackjack Films logo.
Technique: Live-action with digital editing. This was done by John Frost.
Audio: Typing sounds and a "ding", accompanied by the opening theme. The shortened version has just the sounds, the closing theme of the show, or none.
Audio Variant: On seasons 1-2 of Hawaii Five-0, a majestic piece plays, which continues into the 101st Street Television logo.
