'''Logo:''' We start off in a cinema, with lots of chattering going on. Then, after a few seconds, a female silhouette that is close to us makes a "shush" gesture. Then, the audience becomes silent, the lights dim, and the projector comes on and casts a blue light to the screen, and then these words in white appear:

'''Trivia:''' This logo was parodied at the end of ''Queer Duck: The Movie'', the audience is different here (consisting of the main characters of ''Queer Duck''). Instead we hear the normal shushing, we also hear Queer Duck (voiced by Jim J. Bullock) saying "Oh, hush yourself, b**ch!", and the text in the projector screen reads "DISGRACE FILMS".

*On the first episode of ''The Tracey Ullman Show,'' the IN ASSOCIATION WITH text was in a different font and it stays there a bit longer.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The sound of an audience muttering and murmuring is heard, followed by a shushing sound effect, and then a 9-note electric piano theme with drums composed by Jeffrey Townsend. The tune is very similar to the refrain of "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West, but since this logo predates that song, this is most likely a coincidence.

*Originally, there were 2 music tracks that were not able to make the cut. One was a George Winston inspired track, and the other one was inspired by Phillip Glass. So the third one (which is the 9 note electric piano jngle) was added in the logo and was used for 30+ years.

* On the first three seasons of ''The Tracey Ullman Show'' (1987-89), the theme is pitched slightly higher, but the very first episode of that said tv show have the last note of the jingle extended.

* 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).

'''Availability:''' 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.

'''Trivia:''' The company's official website, which you can find here, features the logo. If you put your cursor over a guest, they'll do something, followed by the lady shushing the crowd.

'''Logo:''' Same concept as the previous 2 logos; however instead of the lighted movie theater, the background is pitch black. The audience (including the "Shhh!" lady), is on a teal outline. The rest of the logo continues like the last 2 logos with the projector casting the blue light with "GRACIE FILMS" appearing, but for a 3D effect the text zooms in as it fades. The finished logo looks like the print logo.

'''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. This logo appeared one again on the ''Simpsons'' short "Playdate with Destiny", seen on Disney+. It may be seen on future films, if Gracie Films continues to produce them.

'''Editor's Note:''' It’s a little different than the previous two, but it’s still a great new take of the classic logo.
