1st Logo (March 11, 1989-December 12, 1992)
-MGiNXXX39Y$1 It5efcmEc24}}

Nicknames: "The Cops Logo", "The Pink Logo"

Logo: Over a black background, the text "BARBOUR", in pink, flies from the right of the screen, with "LANGLEY" doing the same thing from the left. They both criss-cross and land on opposite sides, and a white slash draws itself between them. "PRODUCTIONS, INC." appears below, in pink.

Variant: On some episodes of Cops, this logo would have a copyright notice.

FX/SFX: The flying text.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic 8-note synth tune that begins with 4 descending notes, followed by a 5th done on synth strings when the words land. Then 3 more ascending notes follow. This was all done on a Roland D-50 synthesizer with the patches "Future Pad" (for the descending and ascending notes) and "Pizzagogo" (for the 5th note).

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on 1989-1992 episodes of Cops.

Editor's Note: Those who may have seen reruns from this era may be caught off guard seeing this logo for the first time.The high contrast colors might cause migraines as well.

2nd Logo (August 15, 1992-September 18, 1999)

Nicknames: "The Cops Logo II", "The Silver Logo"

Logo: Almost the same as before, except everything is silver and in 3D, and occurs at a faster rate. Also, there is no "INC." at the end, and the text is in Univers font.

Variant: When the logo was first appeared in 1992, some episodes of Cops had the text "BARBOUR/LANGLEY" shining.

FX/SFX: Same as the last logo.

Music/Sounds: A southern guitar riff. For the first two years of this logo's usage, the last logo's theme was used, which was sometimes shortened.

Availability: Uncommon. Appears on pre-1999 episodes of Cops. A still version of the logo may appear on Spike airings on Cops.

Editor's Note: The guitar stinger used in this logo is one of the most memorable. This logo is nothing without it.

Nicknames: "The Cops Logo III", "Jumbled Letters"

Logo: On a black screen, the letters in "LANGLEY" fly into place, scattered about. The word "PRODUCTIONS" then flips up, and the logo shines.

Variant: Starting in late 2005, a variant was seen in which the appearance of the letters were cut.

FX/SFX: The letters flying in and shining; simple animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the second variant of the second logo.

Nickname: "The Cops Logo IV", "The Langley Flash"

Logo: On a black background, we see a blue flash. This causes the words "LANGLEY PRODUCTIONS" to appear, in an Avenir font this time. Plus, "PRODUCTIONS" is in spaced-out letters.

FX/SFX: The flash.

Music/Sounds: The abridged music variant from the previous logo, but the generic Fox jingle plays over episodes that aired on Fox until 2013.

Availability: No longer current. Was seen on post-season 21 episodes of Cops and was used together with the previous logo for a very brief time. It can also be seen on Jail.

Editor's Note: Not as remembered as the previous logos.
