===Background===
Nickname: "Flashing Shapes"
This is ''Heat'' writer/director Michael Mann's production company, formed through a rename of [[Michael Mann Productions]] after he expanded the company to film production.


===Logo (September 27, 2002-April 21, 2003)===
Logo: On a black background, we see the text "MICHAEL MANN" in an odd, stylized font, with "a" and "production" above and below it in a smaller, less stylized font. Behind it, two screens both with odd neon-colored shapes on them flash multiple times. The first shows a fence-looking door with a blue squiggle to the right, and the second shows a row of lines arranged like a rectangle and a weird "splotch" thing. They eventually stop flashing, landing on the second screen.

'''Variant:''' On <u>the first two episodes of ''Robbery Homicide Division''</u>, the company name and zig-zagged line are in white.
On early episodes of Miami Vice, the animation is different and even uglier, with the whole logo looking like it was filmed on a camcorder.
On the second episode of Miami Vice, there is an in-credit card for "The Michael Mann Co., Inc."; such is depicted above.
