Logo: Superimposed over the ending credits of the respective show/TV movie, we see the following text in the series' font:
or
Variants:
FX/SFX: The footage on the show's closing sequence.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.
Availability: Uncommon.
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "Abstract S", "Spiral S"
Logo: Just a black screen with "SPELLING ENTERTAINMENT INC." in a white Elephant font, and a stylized "S" that somewhat resembles the "S From Hell" Screen Gems logo, consisting of three lines going upward, three lines going down, and a rounded rectangular structure behind it. "SPELLING" is in a larger typeface, and "ENTERTAINMENT INC." is smaller and below it.
Variants:
FX/SFX: None
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.
Music/Sounds Variant: A 1995 CBS re-airing of Fatal Vows: The Alexandra O'Hara Story used the network's generic theme.
Availability: Uncommon.
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "Abstract S II", "Spiral S II", "Sliding/Sparkling Name"
Logo: Against a teal blue/white gradient background, we see the same "S" from the previous logo, but without the rounded rectangular structure, being drawn in. The name "SPELLING ENTERTAINMENT INC." slides in, a registered trademark symbol fades in, and the name sparkles.
FX/SFX: The drawing of the "S", the sliding of the name, and the sparkling of the name.
Music/Sounds: The finishing of the show's ending theme, or none.
Availability: Extinct.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: Against a teal background, two lines (one with streaks; the other with filmstrip sprockets) parallel to one another roll out, then they connect with an arch at the right side, resembling the shape of a magnet. The word "SPELLING" in the Century Schoolbook font slides in from that direction, with the word "TELEVISION" inside the lower line. The "S" in "SPELLING" is a bit larger than the rest of the word, which shines in with "pings". From 1994 onward, the respective company byline fades in below the logo.
Bylines:
Variants:
FX/SFX: The sliding in of the "SPELLING" name, and the "S" in the name shining.
Music/Sounds: The finishing of the ending theme from any show, generic themes on ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The WB (and later The CW), or silence (like when ABC Family reran 7th Heaven).
Availability: Common.
Editor's Note: The animation is a bit simple, but worked well to maintain with the changing bylines. </translate>
