This is the television division of the film studio [[Imagine Entertainment]]. | |||
=== 1st Logo (January 17, 1987-May 7, 1988) === | |||
'''Logo:''' Just an in-credit notice with a mention of "IMAGINE ENTERTAINMENT". | |||

=== 2nd Logo (1988) === | |||
'''Logo:''' On a shimmering sky blue background with hints of light orange at the bottom, we see the brownish-red word "IMAGINE" rising up from a pool of water. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The ripples of water and the word "IMAGINE" emerging. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' None. | |||
'''Availability:''' Extinct. Was seen on the unsold pilot ''Smart Guys'', which presumably aired once on NBC and resurfaced via an off-air recording. Might have appeared on the NBC pilot ''Channel 88''. | |||
''Editor's Note:'' TBA | |||
=== 3rd Logo (July 8, 1989?-August 11, 1991) === | |||
'''Logo:''' Just a shortened version of Imagine Entertainment's 1988 logo where it shows the words rising out of the water and shining. "TELEVISION" is seen underneath. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
*A version with the "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" text exists. | |||
*The 1989 pilot of ''My Talk Show'' has an extended version. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the movie logo. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the closing theme to the program. | |||
'''Availability:''' Extinct. Confirmed to have been seen on ''Parenthood'' (the 1990-91 NBC sitcom starring Ed Begley, Jr. and was preserved when Trio aired the show as part of their Brilliant, but Cancelled block back in 2005), ''My Talk Show'' and the TV pilot ''Life as We Know It!''. Might have appeared on ''Knight & Daye''. | |||
''Editor's Note:'' TBA | |||
=== 4th Logo (September 23, 1997-April 21, 2020) === | |||
'''Logo:''' It's a short version of the 1997 movie logo, but the word "TELEVISION" fades in instead of "ENTERTAINMENT". | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
*On ''Sports Night'', "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" appears below in a gold, sans serif typeface. | |||
*Sometimes, the logo is still. | |||
*Starting in August 2019, the words "TELEVISION STUDIOS" fades in instead of just "TELEVISION". | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the movie counterpart. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The last 2 notes of the movie fanfare. On ''The PJs'', the logo was silent, while on some episodes of ''The PJs'', the end theme plays over it, like on other shows. | |||
'''Availability''': Common. First seen on the short-lived series ''Hiller and Diller''. It can be seen on post-1997 shows from the company, such as ''Empire'', ''Curious George'', ''Friday Night Lights'', ''Arrested Development'', ''24'', and ''Parenthood''. | |||

=== 5th Logo (January 15, 2020- ) === | |||
'''Logo:''' The Imagine Television logo is now more three-dimensional (including the water ripple), like the movie counterpart. It is mostly the same as the 4th logo, but the word "TELEVISION" or "TELEVISION STUDIOS" or "KIDS + FAMILY" fades in instead of "ENTERTAINMENT". | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the last logo. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The last 2 notes of the movie fanfare. | |||
