Question About Two Star Trek (TOS) Episodes

[Frosty81]

Does anyone remember seeing the 1967 Desilu logo on two episodes of Star Trek (The Original Series) that aired after January 1, 1968?

The episodes in question are:
"The Gamesters of Triskelion" (1/5/1968, PC 60346)
"A Private Little War" (2/2/1968, PC 60345)
PC = production code

This is the logo:

On the Star Trek BBS forums, logo historian Jeffrey Gray (TServo2049) had told me these two episodes did in fact say "A Desilu Production in association with Norway Corporation" on their original NBC airings, and that the first episode made in order of production after the change of name of the studio to Paramount Television was "The Immunity Syndrome" (1/19/1968, PC 60348). "A Piece of the Action" was the next one in production order (PC 60349), but was the first episode to air in order of broadcast (1/12/1968) to be identified at the end as "A Paramount Production..." and to contain this logo:

The only exception in the Desilu period, he says, was "Bread and Circuses" which had been produced before the name change (PC 60343), but due to its late broadcast (3/15/1968) enough time was available in modifying the closing credits for this episode to say "A Paramount Production..." instead of "A Desilu Production..."

I can pretty much tell you anything about the episodes themselves but almost no Star Trek fan paid attention to the logos at the end of each individual episode.

Desilu Production was a movie studio formed by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in 1950 to produce and film "I Love Lucy", also produced and filmed "The Untouchables" TV series among others. After their divorce in 1960, Desi continued running till 1962 when Lucy took over. During her time the studio produced "Star Trek" and "Mission Impossible", hence the Desilu Production logo. In 1967, Lucy sold studio to Paramount Studios who renamed it Paramount Television, hence the A Paramount Production logo.
