Background

This is the vanity card of Peter Gould, co-creator of Better Call Saul.

Logo (February 8, 2015-August 15, 2022)

Visuals: There is a watercolor painting closeup of a man in a lavender suit with a black shirt and tie, holding a white mug in his hand while sitting on a blue chair at a blue table with some essentials. The picture quickly zooms out to reveal that the man is in a red-colored diner inside with the door slightly open with the words "CRYSTAL DINER" appearing backwards on the glass entrance, and there is also a cash register with a green table inside. Outside the diner is a truck and several buildings nearby. Once the picture has zoomed out against a black background, the company name (similar to the one on the glass entrance in the painting) quickly appears revealing and tilting letter-by-letter.

Variant: On the episodes "Nippy", "Breaking Bad" and "Waterworks", the logo is in black-and-white to fit those episodes' themes.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Chattering-esque sounds from people in the diner inside, complete with a quick brief ding noise, or the closing theme.

Availability: Seen on Better Call Saul.
