* Under Mark Goodson Productions, just like with G-T, vanity labels/in-credit cards were used to copyright their shows; however, these oftentimes used the name of the show itself. Examples include:

** ''Child's Play'': "The Child's Play Company"

** ''Super Password'': "The Super Password Company"

** ''Trivia Trap'': "The Trivia Trap Company"

** ''Card Sharks'': "The Card Sharks Company" (CBS CS with Bob Eubanks)

** ''Blockbusters'': "The B.B Company" (NBC Bill Rafferty run)

** ''Body Language'': "The Body Language Company"

** ''Family Feud'': (Combs/Dawson '94 versions) "The New Family Company"

* A version of this logo is engraved on Mark Goodson's headstone at Hillside Memorial Park in Culver City, California.

* This logo made its first appearance on the August 17, 1982 episode of ''Family Feud'' on ABC, and its final appearance on the June 15, 2007 episode of ''The Price Is Right'' with Bob Barker on CBS. On ''Child's Play'', this logo debuted on the September 20, 1982 premiere, while the May 1982 Pilots had the old logo. On ''The Price Is Right'', this logo debuted on the March 22, 1984 episode.

* On the Ray Combs pilot for ''Family Feud'', it zooms in around from the left.

* It spins on the 1989 version of ''Now You See It''. It also has a three-dimensional look.

* On several episodes of the 1990-1991 version of ''To Tell the Truth'', it zooms up.

* The box is sometimes colored inside, usually red on the '80s versions of ''Card Sharks'' and the 1988-1989 season of ''Family Feud'' and blue on the 1989-1990 season of ''Family Feud''.

* Sometimes, the logo just reads "MARK GOODSON", like 1993 episodes of ''The New Family Feud'' filmed in Opryland in Nashville, TN, written in a different font.

* The 1994 version of ''Family Feud'' hosted by Richard Dawson, the 1998 version of Match Game, the 2001 revival of Card Sharks, the 1999-2002 Louie Anderson era of ''Family Feud'', and the 2000 revival of ''To Tell the Truth'' with John O'Hurley, used a yellow logo.

* On season one of ''Illinois Instant Riches'', the TV tube is in a different shape, like in the same shape as the Ziv Television Programs logo, inside it says "MARK GOODSON PRODUCTIONS" with a long line separating below it and under the line says "NEW YORK" and below it says "HOLLYWOOD".

* On ''Bonus Bonanza'', the logo is applied with a gold texture.

* One episode of the 1990 revival of ''Match Game'' had a unique in-studio variant: panelist Charles Nelson Reilly wore a red sweatshirt with this logo emblazoned on it in white. He joked that this was because he had been working for Mark Goodson for 30 years.

* On the 1998 pitch film for ''Match Game'', the logo is presented simply over a black background and is colored dark blue.

* The version engraved on Mark Goodson's headstone resembles the ''Illinois Instant Riches'' variant, in that the tube is a different shape with a line going through it. The text reads:

* This can be seen on shows of the era on Game Show Network/GSN (though they might be obscured somewhat by the split screen credits or in most cases, cut off completely) and Buzzr.

* It's sometimes seen uncompressed on 1982-1985 episodes of ''Family Feud'' hosted by Richard Dawson.

* This is also found on The Best of ''The Price Is Right'' DVD set; and on Amazon Prime releases of ''Child's Play'', ''Body Language'', ''Super Password'', the 1986 version of ''Card Sharks'', and the 1988 and 1999 versions of ''Family Feud''.
