(March 24, 1978-June 15, 1983)

Nickname: "Good Night, Mr. Walters!"

Logo: We see a clip of a stereotypical businessman named Mr. Walters (played by Ed Weinberger, a producer for this production company) leaving his office, with a credit superimposed over the clip stating:

A JOHN CHARLES WALTERS Production

This is usually followed with an "In Association With" screen.

Variants:

The color of the text varies by show. The credit is yellow on Taxi, white on Cindy, and blue on The Associates.
1978-1979 episodes of Taxi included the "In Association With" notice on the logo itself, bypassing the separate screen.
One holiday variant of the logo has the female voice calling after him, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Walters!".
On Italian prints of Taxi, the text "Una produczione JOHN CHARLES WALTER in associazione con" is seen on a black background without the live-action footage and voices.

FX/SFX: It's all live-action.

Music/Sounds: The ending of the show's theme song combined with a female secretary saying, "Good night, Mr. Walters!", and Mr. Walters grumbling, probably from a hard day on the job. None for the Italian variant.

Availability: Rare, as it can be seen at the end of Taxi. This was also seen on the short-lived series The Associates and the 1978 TV movie Cindy.

Editor's Note: "Mr. Walters" is going in delayed motion (a la Mimsie the Cat). Despite that, this logo is a favorite of many.
