 ===Background===
+'''Sara+Tom''' is a joint venture between '''Sara''' Gilbert (who also owns [[Gilbert TV]]) and '''Tom''' Werner (who also owns [[Werner Entertainment]]), launched on May 21, 2019. Both Gilbert TV and Werner Entertainment currently co-exist separately.
-This is '''Sara''' Gilbert and '''Tom''' Werner's production company. It was originally known as the Carsey-Werner Company (also known as "Carsey-Werner Television") and established in 1981 by Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner to produce what became to be popular television shows such as ''The Cosby Show'', ''Roseanne'', ''3rd Rock From the Sun'', ''That '70s Show'', ''A Different World'' (a spin-off of ''The Cosby Show''), ''Cybill'', ''Grace Under Fire'', ''That '80s Show'' (a spin-off of ''That '70s Show''), and other shows.
+===Logo (September 24, 2019-)===
-In the company's earlier years, distribution was handled by bigger companies (such as [[Viacom (1952-2006)|Viacom Enterprises]], who only distributed 1980s and early-to-mid 1990s reruns of ''Roseanne'', ''A Different World'', and ''The Cosby Show'', and later by [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Domestic Television]], which is now "[[CBS Media Ventures]]"), but because of the most successful programs produced by the company, Carsey-Werner in 1997, grew into a larger company into where they were able to distribute their own programs. Caryn Mandabach later joined to the company in 1984 (then-known as Caryn Snyder until 1986 and credited as "Caryn Snyder-Mandabach" from 1985-1986) as the supervising executive and was made a partner in 2001, until she left the company in 2004 to begin her own company.
-After Marcy Carsey left the company in 2005, Tom Werner went to start his own company with Eric Gold and Jimmy Miller called "Werner/Gold/Miller", but Gold and Miller left in 2007 and it was renamed to Werner Entertainment. In 2019, Sara Gilbert (who played Darlene Conner on ''Roseanne'') joined the company and it was renamed to its current namesake. The distribution arm continues to use the Carsey-Werner name.

-</center>
-'''Variants:'''
-*On the pilot episode of ''The Cosby Show'', the text scrolls up in the end credits.
-*On early season 4 episodes of ''The Cosby Show'' and the remainder of the first season of ''A Different World'', the text "'''SUPERVISING EXECUTIVE, CARYN MANDABACH'''" appears above the text.
-*On the second episode of the aforementioned latter show (which was actually the pilot episode), the font is much smaller than usual.
-'''FX/SFX:''' None, except for the scrolling on the variant.

-</gallery>
-'''Logo:''' Similar to the previous logo, although the text is now in {{color|gold}} and in a different font.
-'''Variants:'''
-*From 1989-1991 on ''The Cosby Show'', the copyright stamp mistakenly said "'''©''' [YEAR] '''The Carsey-Werner Show. All Rights Reserved.'''".
-*For seasons 7-9 of ''Roseanne'', an "{{color|gold|'''IN ASSOCIATION WITH'''}}" title would appear on the background, followed by the now name saying "{{color|gold|'''THE CARSEY-WERNER COMPANY'''}}". On the final season, the copyright stamp is absent.
-'''FX/SFX:''' None.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The end theme of the show.
-'''Availability:''' Common. It's seen on later episodes of ''The Cosby Show''. Also seen on ''A Different World'', ''Roseanne'', the first two seasons of ''Grace Under Fire'' (plastered on current Laff reruns with the next logo), the short-lived show ''Chicken Soup'', and the '90s short-lived revival of the game show ''You Bet Your Life''. On Hulu's prints of ''Davis Rules'', this logo is strangely not shown, except for the episodes "Twisted Sister" and "Sign of the Times".
-'''Editor's Note:''' None.
-===5th Logo (January 2, 1995-May 17, 1999)===

-</gallery>
-'''Nicknames:''' "The Carsey-Werner TV Set", "Carsey-Werner on TV", "Carsey-Werner Television"
-'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see a {{color|teal}}-{{color|green}} and {{color|blue}} TV set, with half of the inside using the same color, while the other half is {{color|darkblue|dark blue}}, with "CARSEY WERNER" seen on the halves respetively.
-'''Variants:'''
-*On season 1 and early season 2 episodes of ''Cybill'', there is a copyright stamp for YBYL Productions underneath.
-*Original broadcast ABC episodes of ''Roseanne'' from 1995 (only the last five episodes from season 7) had this logo with an IAW screen, but with a {{color|tan}}-colored background, and then switched to Caryn Mandabach's supervising excutive name. It was later reverted back to the previous logo a while later. This can be seen on syndicated episodes as well.
-*For syndication, the text "'''DISTRIBUTION LLC'''" is seen below, sandwiched between the TV and the copyright stamp.
-*On ''Cosby'', the IAW text appears above the logo.
-'''FX/SFX:''' None.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The end theme of the show or a generic theme on CBS. On some shows, the 1987 Paramount TV theme is heard, probably due to sloppy editing.
-'''Availability:''' Fairly common. This logo first appeared on ''Cybill'', and was seen on ''Cosby'', and later episodes of ''Roseanne'' (starting with "Rear Window") and ''Grace Under Fire'' (staring with "The Good Mother"). It also plasters the previous logo on current prints of the first two seasons of ''Grace Under Fire'', which can be seen on Laff, FilmRise, Tubi and its partners, and the DVD release. It's also on the short-lived series ''Damon'', ''Townies'', and ''Men Behaving Badly''.
-'''Editor's Note:''' None.

-'''Nickname:''' "The ''3rd Rock'' Logo"
-'''Logo:''' We see a planet base (all in a {{color|blue}} tint) in space with a planet seen in the background, as a rock flies throughout. The text "THE CARSEY-WERNER CO." is seen at the bottom.
-'''Variant:''' On syndication airings, the text "CARSEY-WERNER DISTRIBUTION, LLC" is seen instead, sometimes with the show's URL below.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The rock flying throughout.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' A whoosh is heard when the rock flies by. Other times, it's the closing theme of the show. Original NBC airings used a generic theme and voiceover.
-'''Availability:''' Seen on ''3rd Rock from the Sun''.
-'''Editor's Note:''' None.

-'''Nickname:''' "The Diamond"
-'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see two lines, with "{{color|teal|'''CARSEY-WERNER'''}}" (in a capitalized Trajan Pro font until the early 2000s; which later switched to a lowercase Trebuchet MS font) shown with a pyramidal diamond which takes its place of an hyphen, shown between the two lines. Under it is "{{color|teal|'''COMPANY, LLC'''}}".
-'''Variants:'''
-*Sometimes, it had "'''MANDABACH'''" under the name.
-*In syndication, it would be read as "'''DISTRIBUTION, LLC'''".
-*On season 3 of ''Cosby'', the above variant has the IAW notice and the website under it.
-*A variant exists where the name is moved upwards and appears smaller, with a coat of arms shield colored in {{color|silver}} and {{color|blue}} respectively. Inside is two {{color|yellow}} drama masks (comedy and tragedy) and two lions in the same color facing left and right inside. Below the shield is "{{color|teal|BY APPOINTMENT}}" and "{{color|teal|Purveyors of Fine Comedy}}", sandwiched between two lines with a small Roman numeral year below. At the bottom is a copyright notice "{{color|teal|© That 70s Company Limited 1999}}".
-*On the unsold pilot of the U.S. version of ''Peep Show'', only the name is seen in the middle with no other words whatsoever.
-*On the 2018 revival of ''Roseanne'', the logo is formed by the halves of the pyramidal diamond sliding in from the sides over a black background before connecting to each other, revealing the logo albeit without the lines.
-'''FX/SFX:''' None, except for the animation on the 2018 variant.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' None, the generic network theme or the closing theme of the show.

-*Also appears on the first season of ''Grounded for Life'' (later seasons have the "Mandabach" variant).
-*The 2018 variant was only used on the 2018 revival of ''Roseanne'', and does not appear on ''The Conners'', as it's now under Werner Entertainment.
-*The shield logo is extinct, as in was only seen on ''Days Like These''.

The cover has a {{color|gray}} pinball sitting on a black and white tile floor with two windows on either side each with a cloud background. At the top of the cover are the stacked words "'''CARSEY*WERNER MANDABACH'''" with a small diamond in between the two words.
