1st Logo (January 20, 1987-October 5, 1988)

TBA

2nd Logo (October 12, 1988-April 27, 2010)

• 

Nickname: ''cmp''

Logo: On a starry background, we see the following logo shine in:

cmp

COSGROVE MEURER

PRODUCTIONS

The ''cmp'' is in a cursive font.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the phrase ''IN ASSOCIATION WITH'' will shine in below as well.
• On the Disney Channel Original Movie Buffalo Dreams, the logo is stretched vertically.
• A short version can be seen on Eerie, Indiana.
• On seasons 8 and 9 of Unsolved Mysteries, a copyright stamp reading ''© (YEAR) - COSGROVE / MEURER PRODUCTIONS All Rights Reserved.'' appears below.

FX/SFX: The stars moving down the screen, and the logo shining in.

Music/Sounds: A whoosh followed by a dark-sounding note. Most of the time, the end theme of the show is used.

Availability: Seen on many television shows, including the popular series Unsolved Mysteries, both the original run and the Spike revival. The music version can be heard on the Lifetime run of the show.

Editor's Note: This logo has held up surprisingly well over its long lifespan.

3rd Logo (July 1, 2020-)

Nickname: ''cmp II''

Logo: On a black background, the letters ''cmp'' in a more modern, interconnected font are drawn in. The letters are filled in with a silvery-metallic shine, and a silver box appears under the ''cm''. The words ''COSGROVE/MEURER'' rise up into the box, while the word ''PRODUCTIONS'' slides below. A blue flare can be seen both behind the logo and at the top of the screen. The whole logo slowly zooms in.

FX/SFX: The logo drawing in, the movement of the text, and the lens flares.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Common. Seen on the 2020 Netflix revival of Unsolved Mysteries.

Editor's Note: While not as iconic as its predecessor, it is still a decent update.
