Empire Today

Background
Empire Today is a home improvement servicing company based in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 1959 as Empire Plastic Covers, then expanded to home servicing in 1965, removing "Plastic Covers" from its name. In 2002, the company was sold, renaming itself to its current name, "Empire Today".

Logo (1979-1983)
Logo: Over a blue background, we see the white word "EMPIRE". Above it is a stylized crown and below it, "588-2300".

Variants:
 * For early variants, the logo is smaller, "CALL" is seen to the left of it.
 * "CALL" can be omitted, or placed above the number instead.
 * Additionally, "DAY OR NIGHT" can be seen above said text in some commercials.
 * A version exists where "HOME SERVICE, INC." is seen under "EMPIRE".
 * The crown can also appear a few seconds into the end tag, with a "ding!" sound.
 * Some versions have the text in the wrong place and with slightly different scaling.
 * A "window" of the commercial at the corner of the screen could also appear.
 * One rare variant has this logo over a black background and is squeezed to the bottom of the screen, below the commercial window. The crown also appears after a few seconds.
 * Another variant exists where "588-2300" is simply superimposed onto the commercial with no additional text.
 * Starting in 1980, credit card logos for MasterCard and Visa appear on the end tag.
 * The endtag is sometimes superimposed onto the commercial. One commercial exists where it also fades, and another where the logo is blue.
 * An ultra rare version does not have the crown, the logo is squeezed to the bottom, and "EMPIRE" fades in later, as the number was the only text visible at first.
 * A similar superimposed version exists, but everything fades in at the same time.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A barbershop quartet singing "five-eight-eight, two-three-hundred, Empire!" with the last note held out. Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, a ding sound can be heard as the logo appears, or when the crown appears in some variants.
 * Starting in 1982, the chorus sounds slightly different.
 * Specific variants for some commercials:
 * 1. The chorus is different and they cheer at the end.
 * 2. A group of kids sing the jingle.
 * 3. The first few notes are played on a piano, but the 1982 "Empire!" is played at the end.
 * In 1983, the chorus was changed and has a drum beat at the end. This would later be used on the next logo.

Availability: Seen on YouTube uploads of Empire commercials from the time period.

Logo (1983-1986)
Logo: Over a cartoon city environment, a carpet rolls in, carrying the yellow numbers "588-2300". As the carpet moves throughout the city, it becomes nighttime, as a large gold "EMPIRE" monument stands between two skyscrapers and illuminates. The carpet then fully unrolls and settles below it, as the monument shines.

FX/SFX: Cel/scanimate animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1983 variant from the 1st logo.
