Background

This is comedian Dennis Miller's production company.

Logo (March 27, 1993-November 19, 2010)

  Early version

  Final version

Visuals: On an aquamarine background, we see an ovular garland, inside of which is a hanging porch swing, with the words "HAPPY FAMILY" above the bench (the bench appears to be hanging from the "P" and between the "A" and "M"), and the word "PRODUCTIONS" below the bench in a bold Times font. The whole design appears to be engraved into the background as if into wood, and all of the carved design is gray.

Variant: An early variant exists; the logo is in a violet background, the ovular garland is green, the company name is white, and the porch swing is see-through with a white outline.

Technique: None.

Audio: All that is heard is a gentle breeze and birds chirping or the closing theme.

Availability: It's first seen on the 1993 HBO special Live from Washington DC: They Shoot HBO Specials, Don't They?, and was also seen on the TV show Dennis Miller Live and the 2006 HBO special Dennis Miller: All In.
