Background: Tom Lynch Company Studios (formerly Tom Lynch Company and Lynch Entertainment) is a production company founded by Thomas W. Lynch.

Lynch Entertainment

(November?, 1990-March 23, 2004)Logo: On a black background, a parallelogram that is blue on the front and silver on the rest of the sides angled diagonally comes from the top of the screen, then another one in the same colors, angled horizontally comes from the bottom of the screen. Then three little parallelograms that are also in the same colors comes from the left of the screen, and place themselves to the right of the other two parallelograms. The first two connect to each other, forming an acute angle "L" with the three little parallelograms to the right, so that the logo appears to be a stylized "LE." Below,

fades in. The logo shines.

Variant: On the Shadow Theater: The Best of Horror series, a short version is seen with the logo already formed shining with "A Production of" above it.

FX/SFX: The two big parallelograms connecting and the three little parallelograms flying from the left to form "LE", and the company name fading in.

Music/Sounds: The same dramatic synth tune which was carried over from the previous logo for Lynch/Biller Productions. In most cases, the closing theme played over this logo.

Music/Sound Variant: Starting in 2000, it used a bizarrely uplifting 9-note synth fanfare.

Availability: Very rare. Was seen on Xuxa, The Secret World of Alex Mack, The Journey of Allen Strange, Just Deal, Caitlin's Way, and the last two seasons of Kids Incorporated. It was seen on TV when The Secret World of Alex Mack and The Journey of Allen Strange were reran on TeenNick's "Party Like It's the '90s" block in in December 2011. It's likely seen on the season 1 DVD release of the former show. Also seen on the first season of Scout's Safari, and the obscure Disney Channel series The Jersey. This logo also appeared on the Tom and Jerry's 50th Birthday Bash special that aired on TBS in 1990, and is intact on the Boomerang streaming print of the special.

Editor's Note: The CGI animation in the logo which was pretty good for it's time.

Tom Lynch Company

(September 13-October 25, 2003)

Logo: It's mostly just a live-action video of Thomas Lynch standing on a patch of grass, panning to his back side, as he gazes at the sky. The text "TOM LYNCH Tom Lynch Company (2003)COMPANY" is superimposed at the bottom.

FX/SFX: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: The 2000 theme from the Lynch Entertainment logo.

Availability: Extinct. It only appeared on early episodes of Romeo!, which last aired on BET and The N (now TeenNick) in 2008.

Editor's Note: The live-action footage is fine, though it looks sped-up.

(November 1, 2003- ) Tom Lynch Company (2005)Tom Lynch Company StudiosTom Lynch Company Studios (Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures Variant)

Logo: We see Thomas Lynch's shadow standing on a patch of grass in the night sky, raising his hands as a spark flies from the left. We see the white text "tom lynch company", in Lucida Grande, wiping from the left.

Variants:
 * A later version features the word "studios" in Gotham font, wiping in with a spark. Also, "tom lynch company" appears early.
 * On Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures, the patch of grass is replaced with waves, and Thomas is shown pretending to surf on the waves. The text is also in a different font.
 * On Scout's Safari, the man's shadow brings down his raised hands as a white comet flies down. When the comet disappears, it pushes to a green TV set in a blue scribble on a white background.

FX/SFX: The man's shadow raising his hands, and the sparks and wiping.

Music/Sounds: The same 2000 theme from the Lynch Entertainment logo. On non-credits-pushback airings of Make It Pop and The Other Kingdom, the closing theme of the show plays over it.

Availability: The original version was seen on later episodes of Romeo!, Scout's Safari, Class of 3000 and South of Nowhere. Most of these shows are long gone from television, but it appears on Class of 3000 on iTunes. The later variant is currently seen victim to credits pushback on Make It Pop on Nickelodeon, and first appeared on The Troop. Also appears on Bucket and Skinner's Epic Adventures and The Other Kingdom.

Editor's Note: Overall, this isn't as well-made as the previous logo. The hand-raising animation looks like it was done in Adobe Flash, and the Bucket & Skinner variant looks very cheesy, although for the latter variant was probably intentional
