'''Music/Sounds:''' A dramatic tune (written and composed by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter) is played while Cannell types, which contains string-like instruments, French horns, tubular bells and pounding synthesizers. The tone becomes more soothing as the camera rotates behind him, reaching a tense climax with either a trilling flute or a trumpet ensemble. Cannell throwing the paper into the air is punctuated by a calming upward glissando by a string section, combining with the pounding synthesizers used while Cannell types. The other instruments stop during this time. The highest note of the glissando is held as the background fades to black, and continues for the rest of the logo's duration. As the "C" forms, a guitar plays a four note tune, with a mordent on the first note. For the in-credit logo, the ''Riptide'' season 3 episode "Home for Christmas" and the TV movie ''Highway Heartbreaker'', it's the end-title theme. On the TV movie ''A Place for Annie'', it's silent. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A dramatic tune (written and composed by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter) is played while Cannell types, which contains string-like instruments, French horns, tubular bells and pounding synthesizers.
