'''Variants:'''
'''Variants:'''
*A more elaborate version of this logo exists preceding 1990s A&E reruns of ''Late Night with David Letterman'', the predecessor of ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'' that aired from 1982 to 1993 on NBC. It starts with the starry space background (with comets) and a crumpled pair of pants flying towards the center and disappearing. Then the earth and pants fly towards the center and rest at their familiar location, then the rest of the company name flies in and the "INCORPORATED" block slams in from the left and rests at its familiar spot.
