If one looks closely, parts of the "T" and "E" are perfectly straight. However, some Adult Swim and TBS airings of ''Family Guy'' S7-10 episodes use the 1992 logo with the byline and the 1995 fanfare. | *In 2008, the 20th TV logo was given a more "enhanced" look with more realistic effects, just like its network television counterpart.
