'''Logo:''' Superimposed in the credits, we see one of these three texts:
<center>
THIS HAS BEEN <br>
A <br>
'''CARRUTHERS COMPANY''' <br>
'''PRODUCTION'''
</center>
Or:
<center>
THIS HAS BEEN A <br>
CARRUTHERS CO. <br>
PRODUCTION
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE <br>
AMERICAN BROADCASTING CO.
</center>
The above notice used a Peignot font. The other text reads:
<center>
THIS HAS BEEN A <br>
CARRUTHERS COMPANY <br>
PRESENTATION
IN ASSOCIATION WITH <br>
WARNER BROS. TELEVISION
</center>
in the Bauhaus font. In long credit rolls, the second notice was split between the Carruthers Company notice (which only reads "A CARRUTHERS COMPANY PRODUCTION") and the WBTV credit.
'''Technique:''' None.
'''Music/Sounds:''' The end theme plays while either one of the two in-credit notices shown above appears on the screen. On the unsold 1974 pilots for ''Big Spenders'', the announcer says, "This has been a Carruthers Company production, in association with NBC."
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. The in-credit text for the Carruthers Company and Warner Bros. Television appeared on three short-lived game shows: ''The Neighbors'', ''Give-N-Take'', and ''Second Chance'', all of which were not preserved due to network practices at the time. The Carruthers/ABC text is seen on the un-aired 1975 pilot for ''Beat The Odds''. This made its first known appearances on two pilots for ''Big Spenders'', taped for NBC in October 1974.

(May 18, 1983-September 26?, 1986)
Logo: As superimposed on Press Your Luck, we see the text:
Technique: None, it's superimposed, except for that choppy "wipe" effect from the CBS Television City mentioning to the logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: The ending theme of Press Your Luck with Rod Roddy saying, "This is Rod Roddy speaking for Press Your Luck, A Carruthers Company Presentation!"
Availability: Uncommon. Only seen on Press Your Luck, and even then this was uncommon for many years due to GSN's "credit crunch" practices. However, this is shown in its entirety on BUZZR.
