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).

1st Logo (September 2, 2002-May 7?, 2008)
Nickname: "The Scales of Justice"

Logo: Against a smoky - background with curve-like patterns, we see a -colored scale of justice in a square frame balanced in the center. The text "HARVEY LEVIN PRODUCTIONS", in a bold serif font is shown below.

Variant: On TMZ on TV, the logo is squished.

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 (May 8?, 2008-)
Nicknames: "I'm a Lawyer!", "Harvey in Jail"

Logo: We see the company name arranged on a black slate, with the "N" in "LEVIN" being arranged by a hand, placing last. The camera then zooms out to show that it is being held by a black-and-white photo of Levin, 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.

Variants:
 * A still version exists, as well as a version where it only shows the first half.
 * In one 2012 TMZ on TV episode, Levin instead says "I'm gay!" (utilizing 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 the September 21, 2009 episode of TMZ on TV, Levin says “I’m a pescatarian!” instead.
 * On the November 12, 2013 episode of TMZ on TV, Levin says "WHAAAAAAAATTTT?!?" instead.
 * On episodes of TMZ on TV starting in 2020, the logo is part of the show's split-screen credits.
 * A slightly shortened version exists on Famous in 12.

FX/SFX: The last letter being arranged and Levin's mouth moving in a similar fashion to Flash animations on JibJab.com.

Music/Sounds: The same music from before, followed by Levin saying his phrase and a camera flash.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, the closing theme plays over.
 * On Famous in 12, only two notes of the music are heard.

Availability: Current, but it may not last. Seen on more recent episodes of TMZ on TV, as well as some TMZ specials. Also seen on Raq Rants and Famous in 12. With a new logo being introduced, this logo's days are numbered.

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.

3rd Logo (August 24, 2022-)
Nicknames: "No "I'm a Lawyer!"", "Spinning Text"

Logo: We see the text "HARVEY LEVIN" in a white-light blue gradient wrapped in an arc with "PRODUCTIONS" below that, spinning away from the camera in a 3D anaglyph against a dark blue background with particles, as a reflection of the text is seen below. As the logo slowly zooms away, the text shines from left to right with the anaglyph following through, as the text then fully turns white.

FX/SFX: The spinning and the shining.

Music/Sounds: A weird futuristic-like echoing sound, followed by a reverse synth note and a loud thud.

Availability: Brand new. Debuted on TMZ: No BS, and may be seen on future episodes of TMZ on TV.

Editor's Note: While a decent effort, many are sad to see the famous "I'm a lawyer!" logo get replaced with something more generic. The colors are also somewhat reminiscent of the current Sony Pictures Animation logo. And also, the logo is in contrast to the Fox Corporation acquisition of TMZ one year before.
