Logo (December 4, 1989-August 6, 2002)

Visuals: On a blue background, a light triangle slides on top of the white text "PATCHETT KAUFMAN ENTERTAINMENT" with "ENTERTAINMENT in spaced-out letters to fit the length of the line. The logo then shines.

An early variant uses a purple background, the text is in a different font, and has no shining.
Starting in 1995, the logo was given an enhanced look, with smoother animation and a brighter background.

Technique: Analog computer animation.

Audio: A five-note synth tune, ending with a ding. The jingle was composed by Kenneth Kaufman's wife, Pamela Weisberger.

Audio Variants:

There is a low tone version.
Sometimes, the ending theme of the show or TV movie plays instead. Whatever network's generic theme may also plays over this logo.
There's also a silent version.

The early variant was seen at the end of the short-lived TV adaptation of Working Girl, which haven't aired again since its original airing on the NBC network. It appeared at the end of an HBO airing to In the Line of Duty: Blaze of Glory, which was followed by the 1996 Tribune Entertainment logo. This was last seen in 2002 on the ABC miniseries Widows.
