Nicknames: "Cartoon Oprah", "Harpo Wagon"
Logo: On a white background, we see a cartoon version of Oprah Winfrey, wearing a lavender jacket over a yellow dress, pulling a wagon that reads "HARPO" (in a green ITC Grouch font), with the "O" slanted, on a wagon, while under "HARPO", on the cart's outer base, reads "PRODUCTIONS, INC." (set in Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ Medium Extended font). The wagon then bumps into her, causing the "HARPO" to shake, then appears normal. The copyright notice appears, and Oprah curtsies. At the end, her right hand points to the O.
