The Smiley Group, Inc.

Background: Tavis Smiley's production company.

1st Logo (January 2004-2016)

Logo: On a white background, a CGI but 2D styled microphone appears, flipping it's speaking part and spinning to the back so we can see it's blue and black. As this happens, it moves to a 20th Century Fox The Smiley Group (2011)position, and the text "The Smiley Group, Inc." flies from the top and right sides of the screen to the microphone.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A piano tune playing against a hip-hop drum beat.

Availability: Seen on Tavis Smiley.

2nd Logo (2016-December 13, 2017)

Logo: TBA

Technique: Simplistic animation.

Music/Sounds: A funky-sounding electronic tune.

Availability: Seen on Tavis Smiley in its last couple of years, before Smiley got caught up in the growing sex scandal that had already ensnared PBS late-night stablemate Charlie Rose just a few weeks before.
