Background

Sternin & Fraser Ink, Inc. was the production company of the husband-and-wife developer duo Robert Sternin and Prudence Fraser.

Logo (March 20, 1987-June 23, 1999)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a white inkwell with a huge feather (also known as a "quill") right next to it. Above it, the words "Sternin & Fraser Ink, Inc.", with "Sternin & Fraser" stacked on top of "Ink, Inc.", appear in a white script font. Below the inkwell and quill, there is "in association with". The text and logo cast blue shadows.

Variants:

From 1989 to 1990, the logo is on a dark blue background.
Starting in 1990, the background color is a blue-black gradient. The shadows are black here.
Starting with season 3 of The Nanny, when Highschool Sweethearts took over part of the production duties for that show, the words "in association with" are omitted.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: Originally the end theme of the show. Later on, the logo is accompanied by an Irish-sounding tune, concluding in two short keyboard notes. Composed by Ray Colcord.

Audio Variants:

The tune was rearranged in 1990.
Some TV shows featured only the last few notes.
CBS airings of The Nanny, starting in 1994, used that network's generic music.
Starting with season 3 of The Nanny, the theme is sped-up.

Availability: This was first seen on the short-lived sitcom The Charmings, and also appeared on the short-lived series Live-In and Married People. It can be seen on every episode of The Nanny.

-Music/Sounds: The end-title theme of ''The Charmings'', which is an Irish-sounding tune, concluding in two short keyboard notes (same two notes as the last two notes of the jingle from the Braniff closing logo on ''South Park''). The tune was rearranged in 1990. Some TV shows featured only the last few notes. CBS airings of ''The Nanny'', starting in 1994, used that network's generic music.

-Editor's Note: The music tries to sound happy, but in all fairness, sounds a tad creepy. However, this is much tamer than the previous logo.
