===Background===
'''Film Roman''' was founded in 1984 by former [[Bill Melendez Productions]] animator Phil '''Roman''' to produce new ''Garfield'' television specials as well as ''Garfield and Friends''. Best known for animating 1992-2016 episodes of ''The Simpsons'' and other series, it was later sold to [[IDT Entertainment]] (now [[Starz Distribution]]) in 2003. In 2015, Waterman Entertainment (Steve Waterman's self-named media company) acquired the studio from Starz.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, the text "F I L M R O M A N" is written out in a rough pencil look. It gets layered over with a clean out line of it, then it's filled with a square outline around the area. The logo zooms out as a mouse cursor appears and expands out a rectangle outline. It then changes to the paintcan tool, where it fills the box with teal and moves over the rectangle area. The box then reveals the text in white and the paintcan drops several teal splashes of paint, forming the fireworks design. The background then fills with black around the logo. A flare appears below the logo, which reveals "a '''starz''' company" with the Starz logo in it.

Film Roman was founded in 1984 by former Bill Melendez Productions animator Phil Roman to produce new Garfield television specials as well as Garfield and Friends. Best known for animating 1992-2016 episodes of The Simpsons and other series, it was later sold to IDT Entertainment (now Starz Distribution) in 2003. In 2015, Waterman Entertainment (Steve Waterman's self-named media company) acquired the studio from Starz. The company never used a logo until 1988.
Visuals: Against a blue background, the text "ROMAN", in white with yellow outlines with "film" in a red cursive font in the "O", appears. The yellow letter "A" is seen above and the word "PRODUCTION" in yellow is seen below the logo. The bottom of the "f" extends downward past the inside of the "O", looking like a pen.
Technique: A hand-drawn graphic.
Audio: The ending theme of the show.
Availability: It only appears on the first season of Garfield & Friends (the remastered HD prints on the Boomerang streaming service and Tubi plaster it with the 4th logo) and Garfield: His Nine Lives.
Visuals: There is a blue background, which rapidly shrinks into a blue box on a white background. As the box stops shrinking, five sparks (two on the left, three on the right) form orange-ish curved lines in the box, kind of like fireworks. Two filmstrips appear above and below the logo, with each filmstrip having the text "F I L M" and "R O M A N" on it, and the blue text "A" and "PRODUCTION" appears appears above and below the logo. Two orange dots appear to the left and right of the logo; the dots aren't symmetrical.
Variants:
Technique: Traditional animation.
Audio: An ascending dreamy synth tune when the lines are drawn, followed by two pinging sounds (sounding similar to the Game Boy boot sound) when the dots appear. This was composed by Roman himself.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: On a black background, the Film Roman logo is seen in 3D, but without the dots and fireworks and the text in silver. The fireworks, which are now golden, then draw upwards while the logo slightly rotates to an angle, facing the left to the screen. The dots, also now golden, then rotate into place, with the left one going up and the right one going down.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The end title theme of Johnny Tsunami.
Availability: Seen only on the Disney Channel Original Movie Johnny Tsunami.
Visuals: On a blue background with white spirals and the letters "F" and "R", the familiar logo is seen in white, but with some differences. The fireworks are now in front of a blue square, with "F I L M" on top and "R O M A N" on the bottom. The text are no longer inside the filmstrip-like boxes, but rather inside of a square surrounding the fireworks.
