'''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 the words "{{font|Serif|GRACIE FILMS}}" (in white color) fade in. It is usually followed by a black background with the text "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" written against it. | '''Logo:''' We start off in a cinema, with lots of chattering going on.

''' | '''Later Variant:''' From July 27, 2007 and again since February 15, 2009, it is much more clearer with slightly better animation that looks like it was done in Toon Boom Harmony. | ||

*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". | |||
*The company's official website features the logo. In the original flash-based version, if you put your cursor over a guest, they would do something, followed by the lady shushing the crowd. Now, the animation just loops with each guest's animation playing one at a time, then the lady shushing the crowd. | |||

* ''The Simpsons Movie'' has this logo appear at the very end of it, but it looks like a slightly rushed attempt at recreating the original logo, as the background of the lit up screen room (apart from the "shushing woman") appears to be a photo still of the original logo, which fades into a Flash-esque animation with a darker blue light and a smoother font. | |||
* ''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. For a full comprehensive list of variations, see The Simpsons Archive's Alternate Credits Guide. | |||
* On the mobile game ''The Simpsons Arcade'', the logo is brighter and blue, has a black outline, and is up against an arcade monitor. | |||
* On the company's official website, the seats are empty and the blue screen is already present. The guests fill the theater. then another projector comes on, first showing an old scratchy screen, then showing the text on the blue screen. | |||
* The second visual variation (and the first in 17 years) on a ''Simpsons'' episode occurred on "Looking for Mr. Goodbart", which is described [[Logo Variations - Gracie Films|here]]. | |||
*On FXX airings of ''The Simpsons Movie'', a squished version of the logo is seen. | |||

* On Halloween episodes of ''The Simpsons'', starting with "Treehouse of Horror IV", a woman screaming cowardly replaces the shush, and the logo theme is played on an electric organ. 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 "Treehouse of Horror XXI" (2010), the woman's scream is replaced with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream Wilhelm scream]. | * On Halloween episodes of ''The Simpsons'', starting with "Treehouse of Horror IV", a woman screaming cowardly replaces the shush, and the logo theme is played on an electric organ.

'''Availability:''' | '''Availability:''' Very common. Can be seen 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. Also seen on the PSP and Nintendo DS versions of ''The Simpsons Game'' on ''The Simpsons Movie'', 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. 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 2004 DVD of ''The Critic: The Complete Series''. On Disney+'s 4:3 print of ''The Simpsons'' episode "Like Father, Like Clown", a single frame of this logo briefly appears before switching to the second logo, due to sloppy visual plastering. This does not appear on early films such as ''Broadcast News'', ''Big'', ''Jerry Maguire'' and ''Spanglish''. It also currently plasters over the previous version on FXX's airings and Disney+'s prints 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), as well as on DVDs starting with season 13. The other variants, however, you could find with the guide above. Also seen at the end of ''The Simpsons Movie'', and on all ports of ''The Simpsons Game'' except for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable. Don't expect to find this on ''The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special-in 3D! On Ice!'', as this logo is strangely not seen. It also wasn't seen in the initial airing of the Season 29 premiere of ''The Simpsons'' (entitled "The Serfsons"), but it was brought back in later airings. Like the last logo don't expect this to appear on ''How Do You Know''. | ||
'''Legacy:''' This is a favorite among fans of ''The Simpsons''. | |||

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 "{{font|Serif|GRACIE FILMS}}" appearing, but for a 3D effect the text zooms in as it fades. The finished logo looks like the print logo. | ||
