Background

This is the vanity card of Richard Appel, a writer and producer for series such as Family Guy, American Dad!, and The Cleveland Show.

1st Logo (February 4-April 1, 2003)

Pre-broadcast pilot version

Logo: We see a closeup of a greenish-gray court background merging together into frame, as the stacked serif text "PERSONS UNKNOWN PRODUCTIONS" tilts and settles into frame with a shadow behind. As the background quickly merges, it suddenly turns gray.

Variant: On the pre-broadcast pilot of the series, a different court background is used as it slowly zooms in, while the name (in a different serif font) blurs in.

FX/SFX: The merging of the background, the name tilting. On the variant, the background zooming and the name blurring in.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme. Original NBC airings used a generic theme and a voiceover.

Availability: Seen on A.U.S.A.

Editor's Note: Not really well-known as the one below, due to its obscurity.

2nd Logo (September 27, 2009-May 19, 2013)

Logo: On a black background, there is a spotlight. Inside the spotlight is a detective holding a magnifying glass, with his shadow behind him. Part of his face can be seen except his eyes. On the left, there is the text "PERSONS UNKNOWN" in a bold font, and the text "PRODUCTIONS™" underneath it in a thin font.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on The Cleveland Show.

Editor's Note: A favorite among fans of the series. It's an interesting concept overall, although the subject matter could scare some people.
