===Background===
===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 would return, resurrecting the company.

'''Logo:''' Superimposed to the end credits of the screen, the text "MILLER-MILKIS PRODUCTIONS INC." is seen in the same font as the credits, but has a symbol consisting of a conjoined "MM" with a strange shadow effect alongside it. "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" and the company also producing it is usually attached to it.
 
'''Variant:''' On the pilot episode of ''Petrocelli'', the symbol does not appear at all.
 
'''Technique:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' The end theme of the show.
 
'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on ''Happy Days'' and ''Laverne & Shirley'' on Me-TV, and Antenna TV airings of ''Mork & Mindy''. It also appeared on ''The Weekend Nun'' (a 1972 TV movie), an unsold pilot of ''Egan'', ''Petrocelli'', and ''Blansky's Beauties'', among other Miller-Milkis productions during this time.

'''Logo:''' On a blue background, the same "MM" symbol is seen alongside a B with its own shadow attached to it, reading "MMB". Below it is "A" position to the right, "miller/milkis/boyett" in the middle, and "PRODUCTION" positioned to the right, all of which is in a serif font. "in association with" is also sometimes seen below. The entire logo may be white or yellow.
 
'''Variant:''' The logo would also be shown in-credit most of the time.
 
'''Technique:''' None.

The in-credit notice still survives on later seasons of ''Happy Days'', ''Laverne & Shirley'' on Me-TV and the final season of ''Mork & Mindy'' on Antenna TV.

'''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.
'''Technique:''' Computer animation.
'''Music/Sounds:''' On ''Meego'', the same piano tune from the previous logo, albeit slightly extended, plays except on original CBS airings due to the generic theme and voice over being used, but on ''Two of a Kind'', the end-title theme plays over the logo. Original ABC airings of ''Two of a Kind'' use a generic theme.
'''Availability:''' Near extinction. It appeared on ''Two of a Kind'' and ''Meego'', which are hardly, if ever, re-aired.

'''Logo:''' On a slightly dim white background, the thin red text "{{color|red|ROBERT L.}}" stacked on top of the thicker "{{color|red|'''BOYETT'''}}" text rotates and zooms out into place. Several "orbitors" of translucent ring pieces also surround the text. When the text settles, the black text "productions" blurs in one-by-one.
'''Technique:''' Abstract CGI.
'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show.
'''Availability:''' Seen on the FX series ''Partners''.
