1st Logo (October 3, 1954-May 23, 1962, May 15-December 18, 1977)


Visuals: There is a shield with "R" and "Y" in the Old English script font, with a banner reading "ARS PRO MULTIS" which is latin for "ART FOR MANY", taking up the whole screen. It then zooms out, which appears in the middle, and "A", above the shield, "RODNEY", next to the left side of the shield, "YOUNG", next to the right side of the shield, and "PRODUCTION", under the shield, fade in.

  • On Window on Main Street, the logo has "Filmed at DESILU" (with "Desilu" in the studio's corporate font) below the logo.
