Sandy Dvore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandy Dvore is an American artist.
Dvore first became well-known for designing the cover art for Buffalo Springfield's eponymous album. He is best known for his work in designing television's more iconic title sequences, such as the walking partridges in The Partridge Family, and the brush-stroke logo and paintings from the long-running soap opera The Young and the Restless. His film title credits include the 1976 film Lipstick and the 1972 Blaxploitation thriller Blacula. Also, for season's nine and ten of the American super show Knots Landing, he designed the opening credits for those particular two seasons, these proved unpopular, so they were replaced by, what would turn out to be even worse one's in season eleven, eventually, the original season's 3-8 credits were used up until season's 12-14, and new one's were once again designed for the 1997 2-part mini series reunion show.
Dvore's close friend is producer and director Bob Claver, who convinced Screen Gems to hire him to do the opener for The Partridge Family as well as other shows after that.
Dvore's work in graphic design won him an Emmy Award in 1987.
