Background

Tyler Perry Studios, also known as Very Perry Productions, LLC (though the TPS name is used as the company's doing-business-as name), is the production company of actor/writer/director/playwright Tyler Perry, founded in 2006 and based in Altanta, Georgia. The company regularly works with Georgia Entertainment Industries. Lionsgate Films was the main distributor of the company's movies until A Madea Family Funeral, after which Perry made a multi-film deal with Netflix, with the deal starting with A Fall from Grace, although Paramount Pictures has also distributed a few of TPS' movies (including the 2018 version of Nobody's Fool).

The company also produces Perry's television shows, a majority of which are original programs for either BET or BET+. Perry has full ownership of his films. Before the company was founded, Perry ran The Tyler Perry Company.

1st Logo (February 14, 2007-2016)

• 
  Normal variant
• 
  Television variant (2013 copyright)
• 
  Television variant (2015 variant)

Visuals: On a brown foggy background, a light shines behind a spinning filmreel. After a few seconds, the camera pans onto a gold filmstrip. The camera follows the filmstrip down to another filmreel and then pans away from the reel onto the filmstrip as it shines golden. The camera then pans upside down to the "tP" from the Tyler Perry Company logo as the light dies down and the filmstrip makes a shape of a 3-D "S". A lens flare is seen as the top and bottom parts of the filmstrip disappear. The "t", "P" and "S" are together with the bottom part of the "t" inside the hole of the "P" and the filmstrip "S" is aside the "P". "TYLER PERRY STUDIOS" in a light brown color fades in below the "tPS".

Variants:

• Fullscreen and scope versions exist.
• At the end of movies from the company, the logo appears in-credit.
• On TV shows from the company and at the end of Tyler Perry's later stage plays, there exists a shortened version of the logo.
• On later shows starting with The Haves and the Have Nots and Love Thy Neighbor, the logo is still with a copyright stamp for "Tyler Vision, LLC" underneath the logo.
  • A service mark symbol (SM) was added to this variant in 2015.

Technique: CGI. A still graphic for the later television variant.

Audio: Sounds from the filmreel and filmstrip are played throughout. Whoosh sounds are heard when the camera pans. When the text fades in, a bang is heard.

Audio Variant: Sometimes, the logo is silent, or the opening/closing theme of the movie/TV show plays over.

Availability: Seen on Tyler Perry's films such as Daddy's Little Girls (its debut), Why Did I Get Married? (and its sequel), the Madea movies from Madea Goes to Jail to A Madea Christmas, Meet the Browns and The Single Moms Club (its final appearance on a film). The television version is seen on TV productions such as House of Payne, Meet the Browns, The Haves and the Have Nots, Love Thy Neighbor and If Loving You is Wrong. It also appears, for some reason, on the Lionsgate Blu-ray of John Wick, a non-Tyler Perry film.

2nd Logo (August 22, 2016-)

• 
  The "T" logo
• 
  The wordmark
• 
  Television variant

Visuals: On a black background, a series of lines flip in and form two 90-degree rotated, mirrored "T"s. After a few seconds, the "T"s split back into lines that fly offscreen, revealing the text "TYLER PERRY STUDIOS", which zooms in for a few seconds. Dark gray gradients coming from 4 invisible rectangles can be seen throughout.

Variants:

• A scope version exists.
• At the end of movies from the company, the two mirrored "T"s are seen with "TYLER PERRY STUDIOS" underneath. It appears in-credit.
  • On television shows, a still version of this variant is used with the Tyler Vision, LLC copyright stamp below.

Technique: 2D digital animation. A still graphic for the television variant.

Audio: A synth fanfare with a bass drop and a whoosh when the lines that formed the "T"s fly offscreen, ending with a held-out note. Composed by Elvin Ross, who also co-composed the scores of Perry's earliest films.

Audio Variant: Like the previous logo, sometimes, the logo is silent, or it has the opening/closing theme of the movie/TV show playing over.

Availability: Seen on all movies from the company, starting with Boo! A Madea Halloween. Films featuring this logo include all Madea films from the aforementioned Boo! A Madea Halloween, Nobody's Fool and Acrimony. It's also seen on TV shows from the company, starting with Too Close to Home on TLC.
