(January 4, 1984-May 3, 1989)
Nicknames: "The Dark Skyline", "GOOM!" ,"Explosion of Doom", "Evil Laugh (Laughing variant)"
Logo: The logo start off with an animated skyline of Chicago, USA, over Lake Michigan, in the night. In the center, a large, white flash is slowly rising.

Shortly after the explosion, the following text "STARRY NIGHT PRODUCTIONS" nappears in a white serif font. "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" cuts in below in a plainer, smaller font.
FX/SFX: The skyline, the flash and explosion.
Music/Sounds: After an "explosion sound" (which sounds a lot more like a clap), an eerie electric piano chord is heard, and is held until both logos end. Starting in March 1984 with "Harry and the Rock Star", the 11th episode of Night Court's first season, a man breaking into laughter was heard after the piano chord first started up that goes over to the WBTV logo of the time period (either the \\ logo on earlier episodes or the '84 "Shield" logo).
Music/Sounds Trivia: The laugh was rumored to have been either the voice of voice actor Mel Blanc or star Harry Anderson, but, in a comment on an article about Reinhold Weege's death, show writer Tom Reeder states the laugh was Weege's father Chuck, who attended the tapings of the first several seasons of the show and his distinct laugh was often heard.
Availability: Only seen on the first six seasons of Night Court.
Editor's Note: This logo has cheap, undetailed animation. Not to mention that the "explosion" sound effect sounds more like somebody clapping their hands. A number of viewers found this logo to be scary, while others found it amusing.
