1st logo (September 17, 1988-December 10, 1994)
Logo: We just see the words "In Association With UNITED MEDIA and PAWS, INC." in the Arial font with a copyright underneath superimposed on a red-orange background.

Variants:
 * In Seasons 2 and 3 of Garfield and Friends, we see a blue background with an image of Wade, Orson, Lanolin, Sheldon, Jon, Garfield, Odie, Booker, Bo and Roy at the bottom and a white sunburst behind them, and the text is changed to "Produced in Association with UNITED MEDIA/MENDELSON AND PAWS, INC.".
 * In Seasons 4-7 of Garfield and Friends, we see a green background with an image of Jon, Garfield and Odie at the top, an image of the U.S. Acres characters (Booker, Bo, Wade, Orson, Roy, Lanolin and Sheldon) at the bottom, and the text "Produced in Association with UNITED MEDIA/MENDELSON PRODUCTIONS AND PAWS, INC." between them.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The Garfield and Friends closing theme. CBS airings of A Garfield Christmas Special used a generic theme and voiceover.

Availability: Seen on Garfield and Friends. Also appears on A Garfield Christmas Special.

2nd logo (2000, October 1, 2007-June 28, 2011, December 6, 2019-June 17, 2020)
Logo: There are two variants:


 * Opening: On a violet background with a wallpaper of the Paws emblem, we see a purple circle with an orange pawprint on it and the words "PAWS INCORPORATED" next to it. The circle flips around to reveal the other side, which has a violet outline and a light blue backdrop, and Garfield and his pal Odie come out from inside it. The word "presents" fades in below the logo.
 * Closing: Same as the opening variant, only "presents" is omitted, and after the fanfare stops, Garfield and Odie make funny faces.

Variants:
 * On The Garfield Show and Garfield Originals, the logo is in-credit. Also in the former show's original test, the logo is on a clapper alongside the Dargaud Media logo.
 * A prototype variant appeared on its debut in Garfield's Mad About Cats. There are changes to the final closing variant in the prototype version:
 * The background is black.
 * The company name is and in the Garfield font.
 * The inside of the circle is fully white.
 * Copyright information is sometimes seen below.

Technique: Flash Animation.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme from the movie. At the end of any film, a triumphant fanfare plays, along with Garfield and Odie going "Ha ha ha haaa! Woo!", a rimshot and a squeak/honk. On the prototype version and Dingleball.com, a different fanfare plays, but the sounds are retained.

Music/Sounds Trivia: One of the sound effects used, "Ha ha ha haaa!" in the closing variant was also used in the Garfield Adobe Flash game, Bean Me, just as Garfield (who got crazy for drinking lots of different kinds of coffee) is about to drink the 'Blaster Blend', the last coffee in the list.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Spanish theatrical prints and the Blu-ray 3D release of Garfield's Pet Force, the opening theme, closing variant as well as the whole film are low-pitched, most likely due to the distributor intending to present the film in its original NTSC pitch on PAL releases. This also applies to the Catalan and English dubs on the Blu-ray 3D release.

Availability: Debuted on software including the PC game Garfield's Mad About Cats and was later seen on Garfield Gets Real, Garfield's Fun Fest, Garfield's Pet Force, the first two seasons of The Garfield Show and its original test (along with the Dargaud Media logo), and Garfield Originals. It can be also seen when you enter www.dingleball.com (username and password required).

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: Just the end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on The Garfield Show from seasons 3 and 4, as well as the series finale "Rodent Rebellion".
