Logo: Against a slow-waving sheet of light emerald silk, a red line expands from the center outward. Above and below respectively, the gold words "Ryan Murphy Productions" and "Roundtable Ink" slide out from below and above the line. The latter logo features a detailed outline of a hand with an inkpen finishing the logo on the right.
Variant: On the Popular episode "Two Weddings and a Funeral", the logo is slightly shorter.
Technique: The background, the words sliding.
Music/Sounds: A one-note synth tune. On episode 2 of Popular, it added a four-note fanfare.
Music/Sounds Variant: On the Popular episode "Two Weddings and a Funeral", a female sings "I'm a greatest star who've ever lived". This is probably taken from an unknown 1960s song.

Logo: On a black background, a small cube with alternating green and white faces spins as it slides to the left, leaving the words "RYAN MURPHY PRODUCTIONS" in white.

Variant: In later years, the logo is sped up.
