*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]. | *An extended website version exists.

*''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 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. | *''The Simpsons'' has featured many alternate variations of the logo over the years, with different music, sound effects, and/or dialogue.

*Some episodes might use a soundbite from the episode, or use a voiceover from a character in that episode that plays alongside 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. | *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 (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). | *On many ''Simpsons'' episodes since Season 4, the logo is shown without the murmuring (That's interesting...)
