* On <u>the TV movie ''For the Love of Nancy''</u>, the logo is chromed in over a red-black gradient background. In addition, the "Vin Di Bona" text spins around longer. The "PRODUCTIONS" oblong has the same design and animation as the ''Sherman Oaks'' variant as well. The byline "A VIN DI BONA COMPANY" appears below the "PRODUCTIONS" oblong, and the signature shines afterward.

'''Visuals:''' In a stage lit up by 5 {{color|blue}} spotlights in the background, we see the signature spinning as usual, only a little slower compared to before and also 3D. Right before it unfolds, the word "{{color|gold|PRODUCTIONS}}", now rectangle-less and thin, fades in next to the "B" in "{{color|gold|''Bona''}}" and unfolds with the script. The text shines.
'''Visuals:''' In an environment with five {{color|blue}} spotlights in the background that light the bottom in {{color|lightblue|light-blue}} (making everything resemble a stage), we see the signature spinning as usual, only now a little slower compared to before and also now in 3D. A faint shadow of the signature can also be seen on the floor (when viewed closely). Right before it unfolds, the word "{{color|gold|PRODUCTIONS}}", now rectangle-less and thin, fades in next to the "B" in "{{color|gold|''Bona''}}" and unfolds with the script. The signature shines as usual.

'''Visuals:''' On a swirly {{color|red}}/{{color|gold|yellow}} background with a bit more of {{color|gold|yellow}} (similar to the background of the 2004-2011 ''AFV'' graphics), the "''Vin Di Bona''" text is seen, curved and facing backwards, before it slowly rotates to its front, and quickly unfurls. The entire logo is now colored in a shiny {{color|gold}} color, which radiates off light for the 1st half of the logo, is rewritten to match Vin's signature better, is at a slight angle, and appears to have a black outline. "{{color|gold|PRODUCTIONS}}" is also spaced out and appears just as the logo frills out. The logo shines after the unfurling.

'''Audio:''' A calm synth theme with a soft, rising hum similar to the usual Vin Di Bona theme, as well as a ticking beat and twinkling heard with the final note. This was also composed by Dan Slider. It is not easily heard on ABC due to Bill Ratner or other announcers plugging the show that follows ''AFV'', but can be easily heard on international airings of Di Bona shows.
