===Background===


Miller-Milkis Productions was the production company of program executives Thomas L. Miller and Edward K. Milkis, which was founded in 1969. Robert L. Boyett joined the company in 1978, after which it became "Miller-Milkis-Boyett Productions". Milkis left the company later on and it became known as "Miller-Boyett Productions" in 1985. Around 1997, producer Michael Warren ended his partnership with William Bickley and later joined the company and became "Miller-Boyett-Warren Productions". In 2013, Boyett returned to TV producing under his own production nameplate, Robert L. Boyett Productions. Two years later, Miller returned and resurrected the company.

Nickname: "M/B"


Logo: On a black background, we see an "M" merging from the top and a "B" merging from the right, with a slash mark drawing between the "M" and "B" (a la the Barbour/Langley Productions logo), making that "M/B", and then "Miller-Boyett P R O D U C T I O N S" in the similar appearance as before, appears below it.
Logo: On a black background, an yellow "M" in Elephant Italic drops down from the top left side of the screen, a "M" in the same style from the upper right side, and a slash wipes in upwards in-between, all occuring at the same time. As they finish, the same text from before fades in off-center.
 
Trivia: Originally, this logo came out in 1986 as an in-credit logo on Valerie.


FX/SFX: The "M" flying down, the "B" flying in from the right, the slanted line drawing, the "Miller-Boyett Productions" text fading in. None for the still shot.

Logo: Against a cloudy sky background, the words "Miller", "Boyett", "Warren", and "productions", all transparent and in white (except for the first letters of the first three words, which are pinkish), come in from all sides of the screen. A brownish frame zooms out and surrounds them, along with the space being filled in with a brown marble texture. The words become less transparent, and are arranged kind of like this:
Logo: Against a rippling water background, the following text slide in from all sides of the screen in this order: "Miller" from the right, "Boyett" from the bottom, "Warren" from the top, and "productions" from the top. All the text is in a tall white font barring the first letters of "Miller Boyett Warren", which are a salmon color, and "productions" had a long line underneath it extending past the text itself. They are also all transparent, but become opaque when a brown marble plate with the words in black fades in behind them, and a border in the same material zooms out from off-screen. All of these then connect together.
