Background

This was the production company of Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler, a duo who first came to television as the producers of Full House.

Logo (September 6, 1995-September 12, 2008)

Visuals: On a white background, there is a drawing of a man in a suit (a caricature of co-founder Marc Warren) with his mouth agape, holding two drumsticks (one with a yellow tip and one with a blue tip), with which he hits his head (in time with the music). Underneath are the stacked words "WARREN & RINSLER PRODUCTIONS" in Gill Sans, with a scribble behind it. The scribble's color changes in time with the music, from yellow to red, red to light blue, and ending with light blue to yellow, at which point the video freezes.

Variants:

On Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher, the logo is extended with the colors ending with yellow to red. "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" appears at the bottom of the text.
On season 4 of That's So Raven and Cory in the House, the logo doesn't freeze and keeps going.

Technique: Traditional animation.

Audio:

September 6, 1995-May 17, 1998: A whimsical, if slightly creepy, percussion tune barely in time with the man hitting his head, alongside "BONG!" noises as he hits himself, ending in a string pluck. Composed by Christopher Tyng.
February 20, 2006-September 12, 2008: A jazz tune vaguely resembling "Rhapsody in Blue" (with different notes on season 2 of Cory in the House), with percussion sounds that are timed with the man hitting his head. Composed by Scott Clausen and Chris Alan Lee.

Audio Variant: On Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher, the 1995 theme is extended.

Availability: This can be seen on the short-lived WB sitcom Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher, seasons 2-4 of The Parent 'Hood, season 4 of That's So Raven, and Cory in the House. ABC Kids airings of pre-season 4 episodes of That's So Raven from 2006-2011 used this logo, removing the Brookwell McNamara Entertainment logo in the process.

Underneath are the stacked words "WARREN & RINSLER PRODUCTIONS" in Gill Sans, with a scribble behind it.

-* November 17, 2007-September 12, 2008: A different jazz tune with similarities to the second theme.
+'''Audio Variant:''' On ''Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher'', the 1995 theme is extended.
-'''Availability:''' Rare. The first variant was seen on the short-lived WB sitcom ''Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher'' and on S2-S4 episodes of ''The Parent 'Hood'' on Bounce TV. The second can be seen on the last season of ''That's So Raven'' and the first season of its spin-off show ''Cory in the House'', and the third can be seen on the second season of the latter show.
+'''Availability:'''  This can be seen on the short-lived WB sitcom ''Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher'', seasons 2-4 of ''The Parent 'Hood'', season 4 of ''That's So Raven'', and ''Cory in the House''. ABC Kids airings of pre-season 4 episodes of ''That's So Raven'' from 2006-2011 used this logo, removing the [[Brookwell McNamara Entertainment]] logo in the process.
-'''Editor's Note:''' The first music variant and odd animation clash with each other greatly, which may get to some. The freeze at the end might not help either.
