Background
This is actor/comedian Paul Reiser's production company. The name comes from a scene from the 1982 film Diner, in which he starred. The scene has his character talking about his discomfort with the word "nuance".
1st Logo (December 5, 1987)
_(From_-_Paul_Reiser_-_Out_on_a_Whim).png)
Visuals: There is the text "NUANCE PRODUCTIONS" with two blue lines under it, both on a black background.
Technique: A still, printed image.
Audio: The closing theme to the program.
Availability: Appears on Paul Reiser: Out on a Whim, which is available on a Vestron Video VHS.
2nd Logo (September 23, 1992-December 18, 2019)

Visuals: Over a gray marble background is the text:
Productions
in Times New Roman Italic in black. Then a hand (presumably that of Paul Reiser himself) reaches in and moves the first word up a little.
Variants:
- In 2011, the logo was remade in HD with different hand footage.
- A variant was spotted on the 1994 prototype reel of NBC's split-screen credits (known as "NBC 2000"); During the Mad About You[1] demo, a modified version of the logo is inside of the credits. The logo is much smaller (with the background filling the entire frame).
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: No music, but we hear a sliding sound as the hand moves "Nuance" up. NBC and Fox airings used a generic theme. Starting in 2017, it has a different sliding sound.
Availability: Seen on Mad About You (both the 1992-1999 series and its 2019 revival) and the direct-to-video movie Popeye's Voyage: The Quest for Pappy, as well as a Fox airing of said movie on December 17, 2004 and December 30, 2005. It was also seen on The Paul Reiser Show and There's... Johnny.
