'''Logo:''' Against the same cloud background as the then-current [[Columbia Pictures Television]] logo, we see a {{color|gold}} statue of the Opinicus griffin from the previous logo on a pedestal. Underneath the griffin, in the same Bank Gothic MD BT font used on the CPT and [[TriStar Television (1991-1999)|TriStar Television]] logos of the time, is the text "'''MERV GRIFFIN ENTERPRISES'''", and under that, the byline "a SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT company". This logo was always followed by a graphic with the show's title card and copyright stamp. | '''Logo:''' Against the same cloud background as the then-current [[Columbia Pictures Television]] logo, we see a {{color|gold}} statue of the Opinicus griffin from the previous logo on a pedestal.
