'''Logo:''' On a gray/black gradient background, we see the pale gold text "''Vin Di Bona''", in Vin's signature, spinning around. Curled at first, the text then unravels itself. A gold diamond outline opens under the signature as a dark orange rounded rectangle with the pale gold word "PRODUCTIONS" on it slides up from the bottom of the screen onto the center of the diamond. | '''Logo:''' On a gray/black gradient background, we see the pale gold text "''Vin Di Bona''", in Vin's signature, spinning around on a invisible tube.

'''Logo:''' On a deep blue/black gradient background, the "''Vin Di Bona''" signature from before spins around briefly before slowing down and unfolding.

* On the | * On season 1 episodes of the Showtime TV series ''Sherman Oaks'', the logo is superimposed in the credits. The "PRODUCTIONS" oblong is now colored scarlet and looks slightly different as well, and zooms up from the bottom of the screen (a la the 1987 logo) but at a much slower pace. (As a side note, this logo was the only logo on the program to feature its music.) | ||
* On the TV movie ''For the Love of Nancy,'' the logo is chromed in over a red-black gradient background, expect this time the "Vin Di Bona" text spins around longer. The "PRODUCTIONS" oblong has the same design and animation from the ''Sherman Oaks'' variant as well. The byline "A VIN DI BONA COMPANY" appears below the "PRODUCTIONS" oblong, and the signature shines afterwards. | * On the TV movie ''For the Love of Nancy,'' the logo is chromed in over a red-black gradient background, expect this time the "Vin Di Bona" text spins around longer.

* On season 2 episodes of the Showtime TV series ''Sherman Oaks'', the logo's music plays after the closing theme, sometimes trailing into the Chris Bearde Productions logo, and then is followed up by a line from the episode. | |||
'''Availability:''' Not too hard to find. Strangely, it can be found on WGN America's very rare airings of the second revival of ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' with Daisy Fuentes and John Fugelsang, replacing the next logo. Also seen on ''AFV''<nowiki/>'s spin-off, ''America's Funniest People'', which ran from 1990-1994. The 1992 CBS special ''Storm the Castle'' (which was based on Japan's ''Takeshi's Castle'') should have this logo as well. | '''Availability:''' Not too hard to find.

'''Logo:''' Same formula as before, except the logo is now made in CGI. In a stage lit up by 5 blue spotlights in the background, we see the signature spinning as usual, only now slower and slightly rougher compared to before. Right before it unfolds, the word "PRODUCTIONS", now rectangle-less and thin, fades in next to the "B" in "''Bona''" and unfolds with the script. | '''Logo:''' Same formula as before, except the logo is now made in CGI.

'''Logo:''' | '''Logo:''' Practically the same as the previous logo, but fully redone. On a a swirly red/yellow background with a little bit of yellow (similar to the background of the current AFV opening), the "''Vin Di Bona''" text is seen, curved and facing backwards, before it slowly rotates to it's front, and quickly unfurls. The entire logo is now colored in a shiny gold color, which radiates off light for the 1st half of the logo, now rewritten to match his signature better, is at a slight angle, and appears to have a black outline. "PRODUCTIONS is also spaced out and appears just as the logo frills out. The logo shines after the unfurling. | ||
