Visuals: There is a savings bond that takes up the entire screen. The background is red outlines of what appear to be the Indian head test pattern (which featured a teddy bear on top, in place of the Indian head), and in the foreground is a fancily-written "P" inside a starburst in the same pattern as the border in the bottom-left, an "n" in the same fashion in the top-right, a B&W picture of a pig wearing a powdered wig and has an apple on his head (like George Washington), and the words "PIG NEWTON, INC." (in a font one sees on a typical dollar bill) in a curved rectangle in the top-left. Above the text it has the words "We make television that almost doesn't stink", and below "These words say this, And these words don't". The URL for Louis C.K.'s website (louisck.net) is shown in a smaller version of the same curved rectangle at the very bottom-center of the picture.

Variant: On One Mississippi, the logo is next to the 3 Arts Entertainment logo.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None or the closing theme of the show. Sometimes, a noise sounding similar to radio transmitter is heard.

Availability: Seen on the FX series Louie. It was first seen on Louis C.K.: Chewed Up on Showtime and also appears on One Mississippi on Amazon Prime Video and the first two seasons of Baskets on FX.
