Default Vin DiBona Productions

When I watched America's Funniest Home Videos as a kid and still do occasionally I saw that it was produced by a production company called Vin DiBona Productions and I would love to know more info about Vin DiBona Productions. I know that Vin DiBona Productions was a big producer of sitcoms and America's Funniest Home Videos and America's Funniest People and other shows and it's a surprise that Vin DiBona Productions is still surviving because they were a huge producer of lots of shows
What is the history of Vin DiBona Productions?

Vin DiBona Productions was also known for having a logo that began with a weird sound that sounded like a fan starting or an vacuum cleaner and when the sound began the Vin DiBona logo would start to fold like a paper chain then a cute music cue would appear the logo would unfold and appear. I also noticed that Vin DiBona changed it's logo and now features a orange background or a seafoam green background

I never realized that Vin DiBona Productions is still producing America's Funniest Home Videos after so long and I wondered what other sitcoms and game shows they have produced besides America's Funniest Home Videos and Animal Crack-Ups? I also learned that Vin DiBona Productions was founded in 1985 and produced movies too

I wonder how Vin Di Bona Productions got started? I do know that as I mentioned in my previous post they debuted in 1985 as a movie production company and so what was Vin Di Bona Productions first show that they produced that was successful. I also understand that Vin Di Bona 's wife Cara Di Bona also works for the company as a producer too. I also know that Vin Di Bona and Bob Saget were best friends when he did America's Funniest Home Videos and I wonder how Vin Di Bona took Bob Saget's death because I bet he was really sad when it happened? How did the first logo of Vin Di Bona get created? I always thought it looked so nice when it folded like a paper chain

The one other show I remember from Vin DiBona Productions is Animal Crackups, hosted by the late Alan Thicke.

Here's another interesting fact about Vin Di Bona Productions that you probably never even knew. The logo of Vin DiBona Productions is actually the actual autograph of Vin DiBona himself. And I didn't even know that until I did some research about Vin DiBona Productions and they are a really good production company. But why they changed the logo is beyond me because when it now starts the new logo has a sound like a fire drill and they should've used the previous music cue instead

I don't know why the first Vin Di Bona Productions logo from the 80's has a weird sound when the logo appears? Because when I hear it it reminds me of those automatic doors you see in supermarkets with a combination of a vacuum cleaner and I think it was very weird. The current Vin Di Bona Productions logo that is shown now is actually much more nicer than the 80's one. Is Vin Di Bona still alive or did he retire? Also who owns Vin Di Bona Productions now?
