David E. Kelley Productions

Background
This is the production company of television writer, producer, and former attorney, David E. Kelley.

1st Logo (September 18, 1992-June 26, 1996)
Logo: On a dark red background, we see the text "Kelley" in a white underlined paintbrush script. Shown above and below respectively are "DAVID E." and "PRODUCTIONS" in small letters surrounded by black bars.

FX/SFX: The background's color changing throughout and "Kelley" zooming out.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show or a generic theme from 1994-96 on CBS.

Availability: Rare. It's seen on various shows produced by Kelley from 1992-1996, such as Picket Fences and Chicago Hope.

2nd Logo (September 16, 1996-October 13, 2016)
Nicknames: "Old Woman", "I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up", "You Stinkah!"

Logo: An old woman is watching TV and changes the channel as the text "David E. Kelley Productions" (and "in association with") in a crude typewriter-like font bursts out of the TV, knocking her and the chair over. Her legs dangle as the logo then disappears in a "switch-off" fashion.

Trivia: The person yelling "You stinkah!" in the logo is Mildred Kelley, David E. Kelley's late grandmother.

Variants: Two variants exist on Boston Legal and Harry's Law:
 * Hockey: The old woman and a boy play hockey indoors. They come from the left side of the logo, and as the boy hits the hockey puck, it flies up and crashes in the screen, with the text on the puck.
 * Hockey II: A continuation of the variant above: The boy is happy about winning until the old woman attacks him and he drops the hockey stick and the helmet that the boy is wearing comes off of his head, and gets to the inside of the helmet, rocking left-to-right, with the entire text inside it.

Other Variants:
 * Up until 1999, it was animated in a style reminiscent of stop motion. The changes are the old woman's legs dangling a little, and the text flying smoothly.
 * In the logo's early and later years, the "in association with" text is removed.
 * A short version exists on The Crazy Ones.

FX/SFX: The text bursting out, the lady and chair falling over and the TV screen popping. A cross of live-action and cut-out animation.

Music/Sounds: A split-second of the Picket Fences theme is heard, followed by a whoosh and crashing sounds. At the end, the lady is heard yelling "You stinkah!" and a brief "pop" is heard when the logo disappears.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Often times, the sound effects are either mixed with generic themes or drowned out with network announcements on ABC and CBS. When Ally McBeal aired on Fox, the musical backdrop was a snippet of the show's theme, "Searchin' My Soul" by Vonda Shepard, followed by a Fox drumroll (from Seasons 1-4) or a piano rendition of the Fox fanfare's final four notes (from Season 5). The latter is also heard on the short-lived Girls Club.
 * On The Crazy Ones, it's just the whoosh sound.

Availability: Seen on The Practice, Boston Public, Boston Legal (which has all 3 versions), Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope, Harry's Law (which also has all 3 versions), The Crazy Ones, the first season of Goliath on Amazon, and the infamous unaired television pilot of Wonder Woman.

Editor's Note: This logo has been seen by a lot of people as memorable compared to the next one.

3rd Logo (February 19, 2017-)
Logo: On a black background, we see "DAVID E KELLEY" stacked, with some of the letters seen very stretched out. Under the company name is "PRODUCTIONS", with two orange lines on either side of the word. On the bottom of the screen are seven curved lines.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the logo appears on a white background.
 * Starting in 2020, the standard logo was given a bevel effect, made brighter and "PRODUCTIONS" is now in blue. It is also much larger than usual.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show or none.

Availability: Seen on Big Little Lies, Goliath starting with season 2, Mr. Mercedes, Big Sky, The Undoing, Big Shot, Nine Perfect Strangers and the series adapatation of The Lincoln Lawyer.
