Logo: We see a shot of a table with a white-and-red checkerboard tablecloth with several flower designs seen throughout. On top is a white cloth reading "Where's Lunch?" in a blue serif font. To the left of the cloth is a folded red napkin with a fork on top. On the right side of the cloth is a knife and spoon. Above is a bread basket with several dinner rolls inside, salt and pepper shakers, and a glass of water. A hand then places a plate of food, which varies depending on the episode, on top of the cloth.

Trivia: The piano ditty in this logo was actually used at the end of some episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond.

Variants:

• Starting in 1997, different utensils with blue handles are used and the company name looks different.
• During the logo's early years, most of the plates were placed using one hand, while the rest of the series used two hands.
• In 1999, with the show's transition to widescreen, a widescreen version was created.
