Background: This was the vanity card of Katherine Green, executive producer of the short-lived Fox sitcom Rachel Gunn, R.N..
(June 28-September 4, 1992)
Logo: On a gold background, the words "A Foul Tempered Woman" fade in, and then "PRODUCTIONS" fades in below that. A squiggly curve design with an arrow on the end then fades in and completes its run. What then appears to be a woman's arm with a long-sleeve gray dress (the hand has extremely long red fingernails, and there is a red ring on the fourth finger) then reaches up to the top corner of the screen to rip that background away, and this cuts to the Columbia Pictures Television logo of the era.
Variant: There was an earlier version in which the logo played out as described above, but "In Association With" was above the CPT logo.
FX/SFX: The text forming, and the hand crumpling the paper.
Music/Sounds: A short piano tune plays as the logo forms, then an angry woman's voice is heard, and then as the logo cuts to the next one, the sound of paper being crumpled is heard.
(2011-)
Logo: On a blue background, we see a childhood photo of Adam Goldberg (a different one each episode), with the words "Adam F. Goldberg Productions" below in white.
Variants:
•On the S3 Goldbergs episode "12 Tapes for a Penny", one of Adam F.'s fake names is used.
•On the S4 Goldbergs episode "Agassi", the company name is shown as "Chadam Productions", in reference to an earlier company ran by Goldberg and Chad Kremp.

(1981-1990)
Logo: Simply an in-credit text against a shot of the Falcon Crest mansion (actually the mansion house of the Spring Mountain Winery) that said "An Amanda & MF Production in association with", after it faded off the screen, the appropriate Lorimar Television logo then appeared (the 1978 logo until 1986, the second 1986 Lorimar-Telepictures from 1986 to around 1988 or 1989, and the 1988 Lorimar Television logo from 1989 to 1990).
FX/SFX: None.

(1987-1998)
Nicknames: "The Marlin", "The Animated Scribble"
Logo: We see a white background with a black rectangle. Inside the black rectangle, it says "The Black/Marlens Company". On the white background is a scribble being drawn like paper and a pen. The scribble resembles a marlin fish.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The marlin drawing, which some people might consider to look fairly cheap.

Availability: Appears on The Wonder Years on the StarVista DVD release. Also seen on the Corey Feldman special Corey Feldman's Hats Off and Ellen among others.
(March 9, 2014 - June 8, 2014)
Background: This "company" is a vanity card made for the education/scientific miniseries Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, hosted by astrophysicist Neal deGrasse Tyson and produced by Family Guy, American Dad, and Ted creator Seth McFarlane. This series is a revival and reboot of the 1980 mini-series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, which was hosted by the late astrophysicist and astronomer Carl Sagan. The show first aired on March 9, simultaneously on all of the 21st Century Fox broadcasting networks for 2 hours on that Sunday night, which drew 8.5 million viewers.
Logo: The logo starts out by fading in the word Cosmos, the Spiral Galaxy and the dandelion seedling all in gold in a black backdrop. During the beginning of showing the company's logo, we see two thin gold lines below the Cosmos font moving horizontally in opposite direction with a dark void in between the two lines. This dark void creates a header that would showcase the show in nutshell with numerous objects ( a comet, several satellite radar dishes, the moon, Earth, Saturn, Mercury, maple leaf, the Sun, Supernova, etc.). After the text, spiral galaxy, and the seedling are shown, and the picture header is created by the two lines, we see stars blink like paparazzi in the galaxy while it's rotating slightly, we see the seedling drifting slightly while twinkling, the letters shining slightly and the lines rocking gently back and forth.
FX/SFX: The spiral galaxy rotating slightly while the stars are blinking, the dandelion seedling drifting slightly while blinking, and the lines rocking back and forth gently.
Music/Sounds: The sounds of the sea or ocean and seagulls chirping in the background.
Availability: Pretty common. It appears on Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, which itself is a common program, being available on home video and streaming services.

When the smoke grows, the words "DOROTHY PARKER DRANK HERE" Dorothy Parker Drank Here (2007) appears via shading, and then " P R O D U C T I O N S" surrounded by two lines.
FX/SFX: The smoke growing, the shading; all computer effects.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.
Availability: Appears on Gilmore Girls on Freeform.
(2011-)
Nickname: "Florida"
Logo: On a white background, we see a drawing of the U.S. state, Florida. On the middle of the drawing, it says "film" and "florida.com" in blue, with ".com" smaller than the other words. In the middle of the two words, there is a tiny green circle in between that says "in" on it. On the left of "film", there is a yellow hand-drawn sun on the back of it.
