Logo: A yellow or green oval with the text "PLAY•TONE" on it. The oval zooms in and shakes vigorously, then it stops and fades out.

FX/SFX: The oval zooming in and shaking.

Music/Sounds: It depends on the variant, but most themes involve a four-note ascending theme, followed by a held-out last note:
 * My Big Fat Greek Wedding and its sequel: We hear drums (sampled from the song "That Thing You Do!" by the Wonders) and a four-note ascending theme with a held-out last note, followed by a short accordion ditty.
 * The Ant Bully: A version of the above theme but played with different instruments.
 * Starter for 10: The theme is extended, and the theme is replayed with bass and guitar.
 * The Great Buck Howard: The theme is played with horns.
 * Larry Crowne: A whoosh sound followed by five xylophone notes. If you hear closely at the end, a voice saying "Fantastic!".
 * The Circle: The last few seconds of the song "That Thing You Do!" by the Wonders.

Otherwise it uses the opening/closing theme of the movie/show, or silence.

Availability: All of the different variants of this logo are shown on its respective films or TV series.

Editor's Note: None.
