File:FXX Gracie Films.png|''The Simpsons Movie'' squished variant

*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****!", and the text in the projector screen reads "DISGRACE FILMS".

* Another example of a variant is on ''The Simpsons'' episode "Kamp Krusty", where a mariachi band plays the jingle, and after that, a bunch of people yell "¡Olé!".

* On the webisodes of ''The Critic'', the logo is in the center of the screen, is brighter and blue, and is still. This variant uses the end theme of the show.

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

* An extended website version exists. The animation starts with a blue screen with empty seats. Then the guests fill up the seats. Later, the projector turns on, showing a old scratchy screen. It fades out and the animation proceeds as normal, but it skips the "shush" gesture. Then four of the people start doing things if you click on them (laughing, whispering in someone else's ear, and sneezing, respectively) while the woman shushes them. Currently, a similar version exists where the scratchy screen is still. Then the whispering gesture is played first, followed by the sneezing gesture, and then the laughing gesture, and finally the shush. This can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7_fxTmeJbk here] and [https://graciefilms.com/ here].

* ''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.

* 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]].

* The music in this logo appears at the end of the Neil Cicierega song "Alanis", from his album ''Mouth Sounds''.  

* There were two other music tracks that ended up being unused for this logo; one was a George Winston-inspired track, and the other one was inspired by Phillip Glass.

* From September 16-November 21, 2003 and again on July 27, 2007 and since February 15, 2009, there are more people muttering.

* 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 (the very first one uses the standard theme). On "Treehouse of Horror XXI" (2010), the woman's scream is replaced with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream Wilhelm scream].

* Some episodes might use a soundbite from the episode, or use a voiceover from a character in that episode that plays alongside the jingle. Others have sound effects and/or voiceovers completely replacing the jingle.

* 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.

* The extended version removed the muttering and murmuring, and adds film projector sounds, as well as a sneezing sound, a whispering sound, and a laughing sound.

* The ''Simpsons'' episodes "Fat Man and Little Boy" and "Homer the Father" features a low tone version of the jingle.

* On many ''Simpsons'' episodes since Season 4, the logo is shown without the murmuring (That's interesting...) (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 [[Disney+ Originals|Disney+]] (4:3 option must be selected).

* ABC airings of ''What About Joan'' used a generic theme.

* On the first 3 seasons of ''The Tracey Ullman Show'', 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'', Ullman says "go home" (her catchphrase) during the middle of the logo. This was the first ever variant of the logo.

* Sometimes a certain tune plays over the entire logo, with no sound effects heard. This most recently occurred on ''The Simpsons'' season 27 episode "Barthood".

* This logo also made an appearance at the end of the ''Family Guy'' episode "The Simpsons Guy" (crossing over with ''The Simpsons''), with Peter Griffin singing along with the theme "And now, the show is over now!"

* ''The Simpsons'' episode "Angry Dad: The Movie" uses an abridged version of the jingle, composed of the first four notes and the final note. There is no "Shhh!" in this version due to Ricky Gervais' dialogue going over half of the logo. However, the logo is not interrupted on FXX's airing of this episode due to the SAP credits at the end.

* ''The Simpsons'' episode "Homer the Father" features a low-tone variant of the jingle.

* ''The Simpsons'' season 27 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXVI" features a slightly abridged version of the Halloween organ music. Due to the standard scream being replaced with Homerzilla's roar, the music comes in halfway through the logo with the music finishing up over the 'In Association With' screen, so the last note, usually held down, plays for the same length as the normal piano tune.

* On Fox reruns of the ''Simpsons'' episode "What To Expect When Bart's Expecting", a high-pitched version of the music is sometimes used.

*The enhanced version can be seen on ''The Simpsons Movie'', most versions of ''The Simpsons Game'', and all episodes of ''The Simpsons'' starting with "Take My Life, Please". 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.

* Other shows that have this logo include ''What About Joan'', ''Sibs'', ''Phenom'', ''The Tracey Ullman Show'' (which was the first show to have this logo), and ''The Critic''.

*The other variants can be found with the guide above.

*On the ''Simpsons'' shorts starting with ''Maggie Simpson in Playdate with Destiny'', Mickey Mouse (in place of the male silhouette) can be seen in the theatre's audience, a reference to ''The Simpsons'' now being owned by Disney with the acquisition of 21st Century Fox. Also, if you look closely, we noticed that the silhouette of a person's head is removed at the left side of Mickey's head.

*On the 2012 rerelease of ''The Simpsons Arcade Game'', the logo is seen still in a small gray box.
