David E. Kelley Productions

Background
This is the production company of David E. Kelley.

1st Logo (September 18, 1992-June 26, 1996)
Logo: On a dark red background, we see the words "Kelley" in a white underlined paintbrush script. "DAVID E." and "PRODUCTIONS" are shown above and below, respectively, in small letters surrounded by black bars.

FX/SFX: The background's color changing throughout and "Kelley" zooming out.

Music/Sounds: Only the closing theme of the show or a generic theme from 1994-96 on CBS.

Availability: Seen on various shows produced by Kelley from 1992-1996, such as Picket Fences and Chicago Hope.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 16, 1996-October 13, 2016)
Nicknames: "Old Woman", "I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up", "You Stinkah!"

Logo: An old woman is watching TV and changes the channel, and "David E. Kelley Productions" (and "in association with") in a crude typewriter-like font bursts out of the TV, knocking her and the chair over. Her legs dangle as the logo then disappears in a "switch-off" fashion.

Variants: Two variants exist on Boston Legal and Harry's Law:
 * Hockey: The old woman and a boy play hockey indoors. They come from the left side of the logo, and as the boy hits the hockey puck, it flies up and crashes in the screen, with the logo on the puck.
 * Rolling Skate: A grandmother walks out of control with a boy shown on roller skates skating out of control. They seem to be chasing out-of-focus, and the helmet that the boy is wearing comes off of his head, and gets to the inside of the helmet, rocking left-to-right, with the entire text inside it.

Other Variants:
 * Up until 1999, It was animated in a style reminiscent of stop motion. The changes are the old woman's legs dangling a little, and the text flying smoothly.
 * On new shows starting with Harry's Law, the "in association with" text is removed.
 * A short version exists on The Crazy Ones.

FX/SFX: The wind sounds and the TV screen popping. A cross of live-action and cut-out animation.

Music/Sounds: A split-second of the Picket Fences theme is heard, followed by a whoosh and crashing sounds. At the end, the lady is heard yelling "You stinkah!" and a brief "POP!" is heard when the logo disappears. Often times, the sound effects are either mixed or drowned out with network announcements on ABC and CBS. When Ally McBeal aired on Fox, the musical backdrop was a snippet of the show's theme, "Searchin' My Soul" by Vonda Shepard, followed by a Fox drumroll (from Seasons 1-4) or a calm 4-note piano tune (from Season 5). The person yelling "You stinkah!" in the logo is Mildred Kelley, David E. Kelley's late grandmother. On The Crazy Ones, this hasn't any themes, just straight to the whoosh.

Availability: Seen on The Practice, Boston Public, Boston Legal (which has all 3 versions), Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope, Harry's Law (which also has all 3 versions), The Crazy Ones, and the first season of Goliath on Amazon.

Editor's Note: This logo has been seen by a lot of people as memorable compared to the next one.

3rd Logo (February 19, 2017-)
Logo: On a black background, we see "DAVID E KELLEY" stacked and in blue. Some of the letters are very stretched out, such as the two "D" in "DAVID" and the middle "E". Under the company name is "PRODUCTIONS" in gray (later a blue color), with two orange lines on either side of the word. On the bottom of the screen are seven curved gray lines.

Variants:
 * On Mr. Mercedes, seasons 2-3 of Goliath, and Nine Perfect Strangers, the logo appears on a white background instead of a black one.
 * On Big Sky, Big Shot, The Undoing, and season 4 of Goliath, the logo has a bevel effect.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show or none.

Availability: Seen on Big Little Lies, Goliath starting with season 2, Mr. Mercedes, Big Sky, The Undoing, Big Shot and Nine Perfect Strangers.

Editor's Note: None.
