Shady Acres Entertainment

Background
This is the production company of Tom Shadyac, formed in 1999.

1st Logo (September 17, 2002-May 18, 2004)
Logo: On a white background, we see a picture of a mountain valley landscape with tall grass at sunrise. There is a red wooden chair under an oak tree. Under the picture are the words "SHADY ACRES ENTERTAINMENT" in a black Times New Roman font.

Variant: The logo would come in either the standard 4:3 version (seen on full-screen prints) or the widescreen 16:9 version.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the first two seasons of 8 Simple Rules.

2nd Logo (September 24, 2004-)
Logo: It starts off with the water reflecting as the camera pans up to reveal the green grass. We zoom out around an autumn landscape with falling leaves, which turns to winter with snow falling. The whole action performs inside a snowglobe. with a wooden chair in front of it. Underneath the snowglobe, the words "SHADY ACRES" appear in a flash, in a blue Times New Roman font. The chair is in between the two words. Under the words "ACRES" is the small word "ENTERTAINMENT". The action in the globe continues to spring, with the creek running, and then it becomes summer.

Variants:
 * On TV shows, the logo is still.
 * Like the previous logo, this can be seen in either standard 4:3 version (seen on full-screen prints) or 16:9 widescreen version.
 * An open matte version of this logo exists on full-screen versions of Evan Almighty (2007), along with the movie itself in 4:3 ratio.
 * On I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and I Am, the word "SHADY" is removed, making the name read "ACRES ENTERTAINMENT".

Technique: The seasons changing inside the globe, the creek flows, the clouds, etc. All nice CGI effects.

Music/Sounds: A beautiful fanfare composed by John Debney.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, it's the opening/closing soundtrack of the show or movie.
 * There's a unused version where the outdoor sounds were heard.

Availability: Somewhat common. The television version debuted on the third and final season of 8 Simple Rules. The film version debuted on Accepted and can also be seen on Evan Almighty, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and I Am.
