Harvey Levin Productions

Background
This is the production company of Harvey Levin, a television producer, legal analyst, celebrity reporter, and former lawyer. He is also the founder of celebrity news website TMZ, which was launched on November 8, 2005. On September 13, 2021, WarnerMedia sold TMZ to Fox Corporation (itself a spinoff of divested news assets made by the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company) as part of parent company AT&T's restructuration.

1st Logo (September 2, 2002-2008)
Nickname: "The Scales of Justice"

Logo: Against a smoky gray-tan background with curve-like patterns, we see a skin-colored scale of justice in a rectangular frame balanced in the center. The text "HARVEY LEVIN" and "PRODUCTIONS" are shown below in the same color.

FX/SFX: None, unless you want to count the fade in and fade out.

Music/Sounds: A six-note pizzicato string tune, or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Extinct. Seen on episodes of Celebrity Justice and episodes of TMZ on TV from the period.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2008-)
Nicknames: "I'm a Lawyer!", "Harvey in Jail"

Logo: We see the letters "HARVEY LEVIN PRODUCTIONS" arranged on a black BG, with the N being placed last. The camera then zooms out to show that the name is written on a slate with a B&W photo of Levin holding it, showing that he is a prison inmate (a bottle of alcohol is in his right hand, as well). He exclaims "I'm a lawyer!" (made famous by Star Jones Reynolds, former host of The View), and his picture is taken. The flash effect fades to the Paramedia logo.

Variants:
 * In one 2012 TMZ on TV episode, Levin instead says "I'm gay!" (utilising a soundbite from the episode proper). A rainbow also forms behind him.
 * An earlier episode has Star Jones herself in place of Levin, saying it in her voice.
 * On a September 21, 2009 episode of TMZ on TV, Levin says “I’m a pescatarian!” instead.
 * On one episode of TMZ on TV, Levin says "WHAAAAAAAATTTT?!?" instead.
 * On Raq Rants, the logo is still.
 * On TMZ Investigates: UFOs: The Pentagon Proof, only the first half is shown and Levin's phrase is absent.

FX/SFX: The last letter being arranged, and Levin's mouth moving in a similar fashion to Flash animations on JibJab.com. On Raq Rants, none.

Music/Sounds: The same music from before, and Levin saying his phrase. A camera flash is heard at the end. On Raq Rants, the closing theme is used.

Availability: Current. Seen on more recent episodes of TMZ on TV. It was also seen on Raq Rants, and TMZ Investigates: UFOs: The Pentagon Proof.

Editor's Note: Levin's voice and the overall nature of the logo itself may catch someone off guard, but it's a funny one.
