Harpo Films

Background
Harpo Films is the film unit of Oprah Winfrey's production company Harpo Studios.

1st Logo (October 26, 1997-2010)
Nickname: "The Girl", "Young Oprah"

Logo: On a black background, we see a small square in the middle of the screen with a picture of a young girl sitting on a rocking chair reading a book. The shining words "harpo films" surround the girl.

Variants:
 * The long version of this logo has the camera panning down to the left to reveal the girl on the rocking chair on a porch. Seconds, later, a square surrounds the girl, segueing into the rest of the animation.
 * A short version of the above variant exists, starting from when the box surrounds the girl.

Trivia: This logo was designed by Eric J. Smith of Shine Studios. It is a portrait of Oprah as a young girl reading on the porch of her childhood home in Mississippi.
