Logo: Against a white background, we see the words

Bright Kauffman Crane

in a misaligned cartoonish Times-like typeface. Below in a reddish pink oval is "productions".

Trivia: This logo is actually made by the founders of the company.

Variants:

• On Family Album, it is followed by the text "in association with" separately on a white background, in the font used on the show's opening credits.
• Usually, the IAW text is seen below it in the Friends typeface.
• Starting around 2015, the logo was enhanced.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show, sounds of an episode from Friends (whenever it uses blooper reel footage), or a generic NBC theme starting in 1994. Sometimes, it's silent.

Availability: Common. It's seen on Friends. Lesser known shows that have this include Family Album (the logo's first appearance) as well as Jesse and Veronica's Closet. It would be later revived for Friends: The Reunion.

Legacy: This logo is considered well-known amongst the fans of Friends.
