Gracie Films/Logo Variations

NOTE: Due to The Simpsons ' massive run (35 seasons and counting/over 700 episodes produced), not all variations are listed at this time. If you know of a variation that's not listed (especially from 2004 onwards/Season 16 onwards), feel free to add it if you're a writer. For a full list of variations, see here.
