3 Sisters Entertainment

Background

This was the vanity card of James Burrows (previously of Charles Burrows Charles Productions with Glen Charles and Les Charles). It was formed in 1995 as a joint venture between Burrows and NBC. It was later renamed to 3 Princesses and a P in 2017.

1st Logo (September 21, 1995-May 13, 1999)

Visuals: We see three instances of the word "SISTER" (all in capital letters) in blue, purple, and pink respectively, and the word "ENTERTAINMENT" under them. All three words begin to fall one-by-one in clapperboard fashion.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Just the show's end theme. Original NBC airings used a generic theme.

Availability: Appeared on Caroline in the City, Union Square, and the first season of Will & Grace.

2nd Logo (September 21, 1999-May 18, 2006)

Visuals: In a time lapse cloudy sky background, a white streak runs down facing upwards, in a "3" pattern. The path brings fourth a solid white "3" that pans downward and zooms back to face us. In the process, the background fades to white and the "3" is enclosed in a blue box with a line on the bottom in the same color. The word "SISTERS" quickly spreads out on the right side of the "3", and the word "ENTERTAINMENT" in a smaller font fades in below between the box and the line.

Variants:

A true 16:9 widescreen version exists.
Starting with the episode "Christmas Break", the logo was given a high definition look. The sky background in the beginning is darker.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A peaceful 2 note violin-cello sounder with 3 acoustic guitar notes in the background. Otherwise, it uses the ending theme or none. Original NBC airings used a generic theme.

Availability: Seen on Will & Grace episodes starting with season 2 up until the show's end.
