1st Logo (September 22, 1986-March 24, 1990)

Visuals: At the end of the credits, superimposed over clips from the current episode, is the text “alien productions” in lowercase Cern font. Underneath, in smaller text, there is the copyright.

Technique: A still, chyroned graphic.

Audio: The end theme of the show, along with Alf laughing (taken from the pilot). In syndication, Brian Cummings is heard saying "ALF is an Alien Production and is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution."

Audio Variants: The following episodes have variants in music and the sound clip:

“Don’t it Make My Brown Eyes Blue?” (S1E8): The tail end of Alf’s song from the episode, “You’re the One That’s Out of This World.”
“Oh, Tannerbaum” (S1E12): Alf says “Merry Christmas!” as he spins a noisemaker.
“Mother and Child Reunion” (S1E13): Grandma Dorothy shouts “HA!”
“Try to Remember” (S1E16-17) Alf’s Wayne Schlaegel laugh is heard instead.

Availability: Seen on all episodes of ALF.

2nd Logo (September 26, 1987-December 9, 1989)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a circle with Alf (as he appears in the two ALF animated series) inside, a la Porky Pig, he says his trademark line, "HA! I kill me!" The text at the bottom says "Copyright [year] Alien Productions."

Technique: Hand-drawn animation by DiC.

Audio: Alf saying his line.

Availability: Seen on Alf Tales and ALF: The Animated Series, which can be found as special features on the ALF Season 2 DVD.
