Background

Logo (November 29, 1988-April 26, 2002)
Visuals: On a white/ gradient background is a lavender/white gradient circle, with "Dean" writing on top. As "Dean" finishes writing, "H A R G R O V E" in a Triple Condensed Gothic font appears under it, followed by a  bar with  lines on the sides under it with "P R O D U C T I O N S" and another  line above "H A R G R O V E".

Variants:
 * A shorter version exists; it begins with the part where the bar with "P R O D U C T I O N S" fades in.
 * A still version of this logo exists on some episodes of Jake and the Fatman. Also seen on original ABC airings of the final episode of Matlock due to split screen credits.
 * On the final season of Diagnosis: Murder, the logo is compressed horizontally, revealing more of the white/ background.

Technique: CGI. None for the still version.
