* ''The Simpsons'' has featured many alternate variations of the logo over the years, with different music, sound effects, and/or dialogue. One recurring variation is on Halloween episodes, where a woman screaming is heard followed by a creepy pipe organ playing the theme.

* On Halloween episodes of ''The Simpsons'', starting with the ''Treehouse Of Horror'' episodes, a woman screaming very cowardly replaces "Shhhh!" and that same tune played on a creepy organ that basically matches Halloween very much. Numerous other alternate versions of the theme have been used over the years (see "Variants" above). Earlier Halloween shows lack some parts of the audio. | * On Halloween episodes of ''The Simpsons'', starting with the ''Treehouse Of Horror'' episodes, a woman screaming very cowardly replaces "Shhhh!" and that same tune played on a creepy organ that basically matches Halloween very much.

* On some ''Simpsons'' episodes that feature songs during the closing credits, such as "Dancin' Homer" and "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", the closing song continues playing over the Gracie Films logo. This includes some syndication prints that shift the closing music so it starts after the last commercial break, causing the music to end over the logo. | * On some ''Simpsons'' episodes that feature songs during the closing credits, such as "Dancin' Homer" and "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", the closing song continues playing over the Gracie Films logo.

* On many ''Simpsons'' episodes since Season 4, the logo is shown without the murmuring (you hear the "Shhh!" right after the last note of the closing theme, which is heard right at the start of the logo). With the show's cable debut on FXX on August 21, 2014 (when the ''Every Simpsons Ever'' marathon began), new syndication prints which are cropped (with some parts stretched) to fill the 16:9 screen now feature two credit cards for the Spanish Language audio track in between the copyright card and the Gracie Films logo, so now this is not seen on the new syndication prints. However, this is preserved on the DVD releases, existing local syndication prints, and on Simpsonsworld.com (cable subscription to FXX required; 4:3 option must be selected). | * On many ''Simpsons'' episodes since Season 4, the logo is shown without the murmuring (you hear the "Shhh!" right after the last note of the closing theme, which is heard right at the start of the logo).

<u>Availability</u>: Common. Can be seen commonly on all episodes of ''The Simpsons'' from "Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire" to "Lisa the Drama Queen" in local syndication and on home video. It was also seen on ''The Simpsons Game'' on the Nintendo DS and XBOX 360 ports only. Lesser known shows that have this include ''What About Joan, Sibs'', ''Phenom'', ''The Tracey Ullman Show'' (which was the first show to have this logo), and ''The Critic.'' The webisode variant can be found on ''The Critic'' webisodes on ''The Critic: The Complete Series'' box set. | <u>Availability</u>: Common.

<u>Availability:</u> Common. First seen on ''The Simpsons Hit & Run'' video game, and on all episodes of ''The Simpsons'' starting with "Take My Life, Please". The Halloween variant can be seen on all ''Treehouse of Horror'' episodes starting with XX. It also currently plasters over the previous version on FXX's airings of pre-2009 episodes of ''The Simpsons'' (the audio variants heard with it over time are left intact, and play under this logo as a result.) The other variants, however, you could find with the guide above. Also seen at the end of ''The Simpsons Movie''. Don't expect to find this on ''The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special-in 3D! On Ice!'' or the season 29 premiere of ''The Simpsons'' (entitled "The Serfsons"), as this logo is strangely not seen. | <u>Availability:</u> Common.

Availability: Debuted on ''The Longest Daycare'', which was shown before ''Ice Age: Continental Drift''. However, it didn't appear again until the short's network premiere (on Fox) on February 17, 2013. It reappeared after 3 years when ''The Edge of Seventeen'' premiered at the Toronto International Films Festival on September 18, 2016. It then reappeared yet again when STX Entertainment released the film theatrically on November 18, 2016. It may be seen on future films, if Gracie Films continues to produce them. | <u>Availability:</u> Debuted on ''The Longest Daycare'', which was shown before ''Ice Age: Continental Drift''.
