*The sound of the audience was actually recorded by 2 people and were double tracked to sound like more than two. This was provided by former Fox CEO Garth Anchier and Townsend himself. | *The sound of the audience was actually recorded by 2 people and were double tracked to sound like more than two.

*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. | *Originally, there were 2 music tracks that were not able to make the cut.

* 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).

*On the first 3 seasons of The Tracey Ullman Show (1987-89), the jingle was slightly high pitched, but throughout the first season of the show, the last note of the jingle was extended. | *On the first 3 seasons of The Tracey Ullman Show (1987-89), the jingle was slightly high pitched, but throughout the first season of the show, the last note of the jingle was extended. | ||
*On a season 3 episode of ''The Tracey Ullman Show'', a British woman (Ullman) says "go home" (her catchphrase) during the middle of the logo. This was the very first variant of the logo. | *On a season 3 episode of ''The Tracey Ullman Show'', a British woman (Ullman) says "go home" (her catchphrase) during the middle of the logo.
