Background

This is the production company of Greg Garcia. The name means "Friends of Garcia" in Spanish.

1st Logo (October 2, 2000-December 18, 2018)

Visuals: On a white background, there is an oval-shaped design, and inside, there are people in it making funny faces (a different one every episode; in some rare cases, there are also animals too). While the logo is different depending on the episode, the people are mostly seen wearing the same black sombrero with a red trim around it (the color of the sombrero may be dark blue or brown in some cases). Above the oval is the text "Amigos de Garcia" surrounding the top, with the text "Productions" surrounding the bottom.

Variants:

Sometimes, the people in the oval won't be making any funny faces.
During the logo's early years, the color of the oval mostly either varied in beige, light blue, or gray.
On My Name is Earl (except for a few episodes), Raising Hope and The Millers, the oval is on a wooden background.
Starting with The Guest Book, the background became wooden, the text became white, and the oval (with the exception of the pilot episode) is now white and features simplified tree branches with a blue bird and a pink rabbit on it, the latter watching a nest with some blue birds on it. For the second and final season of the show, it (with the exception of the episode "Someplace Other Than Here") is replaced by a sunset background.

Technique: A digital graphic.

Audio: None or the closing theme of the show, but on Raising Hope and The Millers, a child's voice gives a random one-liner.

Availability: Seen on My Name is Earl, Yes, Dear, and Raising Hope (Seasons 1-3 and a couple of Season 4 episodes; it has since been replaced with the Slowly I Turned Productions logo following Greg Garcia's departure from the series). It also appeared on The Millers, the failed pilots of Super Clyde and Sebastian Says, and The Guest Book.

2nd Logo (August 18, 2022-)

Visuals: On a gray concrete wall with jail-like bars, there is different people for each episode, wearing the sombrero from the previous logo. The company name, in the Chalkduster font, is seen written at the top.

Technique: A digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Sprung.
