''' | '''Visuals:''' We see a griffin (a Greek mythological creature with the wings and head of an eagle, and the body, hind legs, and tail of a lion) sitting and holding up its left paw on the left side and the text "{{color|gold|'''A Griffin production'''}}" in the Old English MT font on the right side. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Against a black background, inside a box with a {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} border, we see a detailed drawing of the Opinicus griffin from the previous logo, in front of what looks like a chain-link fence. Below that, we see the text "{{Font|Serif|''MERV GRIFFIN PRODUCTIONS''}}" in white with a {{color|dodgerblue|light blue}} "chrome" color effect moving inside it. The griffin later blinks its eye. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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. | ||
