Background
This is the vanity plate of Davey Holmes.
Logo (August 13, 2017-November 17, 2019)
Visuals:: In a light blue sky with clouds, there is an old woman to the right sitting in a chair and knitting with the script text "Holmes Quality" beside her to the left. Then the word "YARNS" in a 3D-like manner (similar to the Schoolhouse Rock! logo) drops down to the bottom and places itself below the text, as the woman turns to us and says "Quality!".
Technique: The word "YARNS" dropping down, and the woman's mouth moving in a similar fashion to Flash animations on JibJab.com. Appears to be cut-out animation too. [possible misuse]
Audio: A harp theme, which is then interrupted by a splat sound when "YARNS" drops down, followed by the woman's dialogue.
Availability: Seen on Get Shorty.
