Publivision Inc. was a television production company founded in 1973 by public television pioneer James Day, who created it after leaving WNET in New York. Day formed Publivision to produce and distribute the nationally syndicated nightly interview program “Day at Night,” which he hosted. [1]
Design and History
Publivision Inc. operated in New York, where it produced and distributed episodes of “Day at Night” to public television stations. [2] The company also produced programs in Montreal, Quebec, where it was listed among independent film and television production houses in the late 1990s. [3]
Documentation of a specific Publivision Inc. logo from 1973 is limited. The company’s visual identity is not described in the available primary sources, and no designer attribution for a Publivision mark has been verified. While the name “Publivision” appears in production credits and archival records from the 1970s onward, no official source confirms the existence, appearance, or authorship of a 1973 logo for the company.
Meaning and Symbolism
The company’s name combines “public” and “television,” reflecting its role in public broadcasting, but any visual meaning attributed to a specific mark remains unconfirmed.
