'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|lightgray|light gray}} background, we see a TV tube-like shape that's outlined in {{Font color|dimgray|dark gray}} and filled in black. There are about eight abstract stars shining inside around the phrase "{{Font|Impact|A SCREEN GEMS INC.}} {{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Presentation'''''}}" or "{{Font|Impact|A SCREEN GEMS INC.}} {{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Production'''''}}".

'''Logo:''' Eleven animated lines "drop down" at the right of the black screen to ascending jazz notes as a swarm of circles scatter near the middle of the left side leaving behind the words "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" in a Benguiat Frisky font (these circles were what one rec.arts.animation post described as the "spotlights". The "stars" may come from the fact that the circles sparkle like stars). As this happens, the lines shrink somewhat and spread out, filling the right half and shaking slightly back and forth.

* When shown in black & white, the standard scheme appears to be a {{font color|lightgray|light gray}} screen and black "'''''S'''''" and words. When shown in color, the standard scheme appears to be a {{Font color|gold|yellow}} screen, {{Font color|red|red}} "'''S'''", and black words. The words may or may not have actually been red at one time as well. On some prints of ''The Partridge Family'', the "'''''S'''''" and the words were both black, attributed by some to film deterioration. However, when the Columbia byline was added, everything was changed to a light gray, and that color change appeared more natural. At the same time, other Screen Gems shows carried the normal color scheme (as did ''The Partridge Family'' when it was rerun on Hallmark Channel).

*** Another variant like the ones above, contains the byline, has the "'''''S'''''" partly invisible and the name and byline barely visible to see. This was spotted in a B&W print of ''The Paul Lynde Show'' episode "Togetherness".

* On a late '80s print of an episode of ''Occasional Wife'', the animation and music of the logo were slightly faster than usual, probably due to time compression.
