1st Logo (1986-1987)

FX/SFX: None.

2nd Logo (May 25, 1992-February 6, 2014)
Nicknames: "Big Dog", "Weird Drawing of Leno"

Logo: On a blue background, we see a weird-looking caricature of Jay Leno drawn (which is supposed to be a dog) in white with the word "BIG" to Jay's left drawn in a white vertical font, and "DOG" to his right, also drawn in a white vertical font. Below Jay is the words "PRODUCTIONS INC." and below that, "in association with," both in white. After this logo, whatever logo NBC's production division is using at the moment appears with a copyright stamp below the logo.

Trivia: The caricature first appeared as the logo for the 1986 special The Jay Leno Show (mentioned above in the description for the previous logo), and the logo also featured Jay Leno's signature. The logo for the other special mentioned above in the description for the previous logo, the 1987 special Jay Leno's Family Comedy Hour also featured the caricature.

FX/SFX: None.

Variants:
 * On early episodes of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, "PRODUCTIONS, INC." appears in a white rectangle. The background was also navy-blue.
 * By 1993, the color changed to a lighter blue, but still had "PRODUCTIONS INC." in a slightly larger rectangle. A copyright stamp is known to have appeared on 1993 episodes.
 * A later variant has a copyright notice for NBC Studios below "in association with".
 * Some airings have this in a split-screen format, on the right side of the screen.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno plays over the logo.

Availability: Was seen on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. This logo did not appear on Jay's short-lived 2009-2010 primetime series The Jay Leno Show, though Big Dog Productions produced the show. This is extinct outside of off-air recordings. Check your old tapes!
