Background
Spartina Productions is Stephen Colbert's company. While they were founded in 1999, they didn't use a logo until 2005.
(October 17, 2005- )

Logo: On a white background with black drawings, we see a poorly drawn crane with some randomly drawn lines on either side, and a pond below. A fish jumps out of the pond to the left of the crane, and then proceeds to eat the crane. The screen then transitions to a black one with the white text "SPA171MA", which is leet for "Spaitima".
Trivia: This logo was animated by J.J. Sedelmaier. Stephen Colbert personally requested Sedelmaier to create the logo.
Variant: More recently, the text at the end now reads simply SPARTINA.
FX/SFX: Hand-drawn animation.
Music/Sounds: A gobbling sound plays as the fish eats the crane.
Availability: First seen on The Colbert Report and later appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!, Our Cartoon President, Tooning Out the News, Hell of A Week with Charlamagne tha God, Fairview, and the failed pilot Old News with Opus Moreschi.
