'''Logo:''' We start off in a cinema, with lots of chattering going on. Then, after a few seconds, a female silhouette that is close to us makes a "shush" gesture. Then, the audience becomes silent, the lights dim, and the projector comes on and casts a blue light to the screen, and then the words "{{font|Serif|GRACIE FILMS}}" (in white color) fade in. It is usually followed by a black background with the text "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" written against it. | '''Logo:''' We start off in a cinema, with lots of chattering going on.

* On some ''Simpsons'' episodes that feature songs during the closing credits, such as "Dancin' Homer" and "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", the closing song continues playing over the Gracie Films logo. This includes some syndication prints that shift the closing music so it starts after the last commercial break, causing the music to end over the logo. | * On some ''Simpsons'' episodes that feature songs during the closing credits, such as "Dancin' Homer" and "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", the closing song continues playing over the Gracie Films logo.

* On many ''Simpsons'' episodes since Season 4, the logo is shown without the murmuring (you hear the "Shhh!" right after the last note of the closing theme, which is heard right at the start of the logo). With the show's cable debut on FXX on August 21, 2014 (when the ''Every Simpsons Ever'' marathon began), new syndication prints which are cropped (with some parts stretched) to fill the 16:9 screen now feature two credit cards for the Spanish Language audio track in between the copyright card and the Gracie Films logo, so now this is not seen on the new syndication prints.

'''Availability:''' Common. Can be seen commonly on all episodes of ''The Simpsons'' from "Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire" to "Lisa the Drama Queen" in local syndication and on home video. It was also seen on ''The Simpsons Game'' on the Nintendo DS and XBOX 360 ports only. Lesser known shows that have this include ''What About Joan'', ''Sibs'', ''Phenom'', ''The Tracey Ullman Show'' (which was the first show to have this logo), and ''The Critic''. The webisode variant can be found on ''The Critic'' webisodes on ''The Critic: The Complete Series'' box set. | '''Availability:''' Common.

On Disney+'s 4:3 print of ''The Simpsons'' episode "Like Father, Like Clown", a single frame of this logo briefly appears before switching to the second logo, due to sloppy visual plastering. | ||

'''Availability:''' Common. First seen on ''The Simpsons Hit & Run'' video game, and on all episodes of ''The Simpsons'' starting with "Take My Life, Please". The Halloween variant can be seen on all ''Treehouse of Horror'' episodes starting with XX. It also currently plasters over the previous version on FXX's airings of pre-2009 episodes of ''The Simpsons'' (the audio variants heard with it over time are left intact, and play under this logo as a result), as well as on DVDs starting with season 13. The other variants, however, you could find with the guide above. Also seen at the end of ''The Simpsons Movie''. Don't expect to find this on ''The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special-in 3D! On Ice!,'' as this logo is strangely not seen. It also wasn't seen in the initial airing of the Season 29 premiere of ''The Simpsons'' (entitled "The Serfsons"), but it was brought back in later airings. | '''Availability:''' Common.
