Visuals: On a black background is a white inkwell with a huge feather (also known as a "quill") right next to it. Above, the words "Sternin & Fraser Ink, Inc." appear in a white script font. Below the inkwell and quill is "in association with".
Variants:
- A variant of the black background exists of the text and logo having shadows.
- This logo came back in 1989 with the logo on a dark blue background.
- In 1990, the background color changed to a blue-black gradient.
- When Highschool Sweethearts took over part of the duties for The Nanny in 1995, the words "in association with" were eliminated.
Technique: None. [possible misuse]
Audio: An Irish-sounding tune, concluding in two short keyboard notes. Composed by Ray Colcord.
Audio Variants:
- The tune was rearranged in 1990.
- Some TV shows featured only the last few notes.
- CBS airings of The Nanny, starting in 1994, used that network's generic music.
- The tune was sped-up beginning with season 3 of The Nanny and extended to include a Kenny G-esque saxaphone tune, continuing into the Highschool Sweethearts logo.
Availability: This was first seen on the short-lived sitcom The Charmings, the short-lived series Live-In and Married People. It can be seen on every episode of The Nanny.
