'''Logo:''' An in-credit logo ,we see the text "{{font|Times New Roman|'''''AARON SPELLING PRODUCTIONS'''''}}" in an italicized bold serif font with some swashes on the letters. Copyright information is usually shown below.
'''Variants:'''
*On some shows and TV movies, the logo lacks a copyright notice.
*Dependiing on the show, the logo could be either white, {{color|blue}} or {{color|yellow}}.
*Sometimes, the text reads "{{font|Times New Roman|'''''AARON SPELLING PRODUCTIONS, INC.'''''}}".
*On some episodes of ''The Love Boat'' and the TV movie ''The Users'', the text says "{{font|Times New Roman|'''''AN AARON SPELLING PRODUCTION'''''}}".
*Sometimes, the background is black.


===1st Logo (April 8, 1990-January 9, 1992, October 25, 1994, August 18, 1998-March 10, 2002)===
'''Technique:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the end theme of the show.
 
'''Availability:''' Uncommon.
*It was seen on such shows like ''The Love Boat'' and ''Hotel'', as well as TV movies like ''The Users'', ''Velvet'', ''Dark Mansions'', ''Massarati and the Brain'', ''The Best Little Girl in the World'' and ''Making of a Male Model''.
*It was also seen on miniseries from the era, like ''The French Atlantic Affair'', ''Hollywood Wives'' and ''Crossings''.
*It was also seen on short-lived series from the era, like ''MacGruder and Loud'', ''Glitter'', ''Finder of Lost Loves'' and ''Nightingales''.
*The logo was preserved on DVD releases of Spelling's shows from the era.
*The last two uses of the logo were ''Where's Rodney'' and ''Just Life'', two unsold pilots from the era.
*Don't expect to see this logo on some TV shows or TV movies like either ''The Power Within'', ''Dynasty'', ''Vega$'', ''Life with Lucy'' and ''Matt Houston'', as it would only use an in-credit text instead.
