'''Logo:''' On a {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} background, two {{color|red}} parallelograms (or lines) come from the top and bottom of the screen, and the upper one is at a distance while the lower is closer. They fly towards each other, and the higher moves forward while the lower backs away. As they do so, they grow in length and wrap around a space where a {{color|red}} dot appears, forming a stylized "{{color|red|'''''S'''''}}". Under that, the text "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" zooms in.

When shown in color, the standard scheme appears to be a {{color|gold|yellow}} screen, {{color|red}} "'''S'''", and black words. The words may or may not have actually been red at one time as well. On some prints of ''The Partridge Family'', the "'''''S'''''" and the words were both black, attributed by some to film deterioration. However, when the Columbia byline was added, everything was changed to a light gray, and that color change appeared more natural. At the same time, other Screen Gems shows carried the normal color scheme (as did ''The Partridge Family'' when it was rerun on Hallmark Channel).
