1st Logo (September 9, 1991-1995)
Visuals: Superimposed in the credits of The Maury Povich Show, we see the following logo made up of four small squares connected, and a long blue rectangle connected to the lower squares:

Mo Po

PRODUCTIONS, INC.

IN ASSOCIATION WITH

The red "M" is in the upper left square, which is the same color as the school bus yellow "P" in the red square diagonal to the square with the "M." To the right of each capital letter is a golf ball, both representing the o's in "MoPo." The square to the right of the "M" is blue and has the top golf ball in the bottom left corner, and to the left of the "P" is a blank square that is purple. The text "PRODUCTIONS, INC." is inside the blue rectangle that is connected to the purple and red squares, and "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" is right below the rectangle. To the right of the four squares and on top of the rectangle is a school bus yellow golf flag with a dark-colored pole.

Technique: None.

Audio: The end theme of The Maury Povich Show.

Availability: Last seen on episodes of Maury from the era.

2nd Logo (1995-September 8, 2022)
Visuals: In a golf course, a golf ball that is hit by someone flies over a hill, and rolls into a hole. The camera pans to an aerial view of the hole, revealing the golf ball is printed with a circle reading "MoPo" in a tall Bank Gothic font, and under it, a black oval reading "PRODUCTIONS, INC." with that text in Bank Gothic.

Variant: A widescreen version exists. The animation is stretched in this variant, but the finished logo isn't. This version debuted in 2012.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A "whack" sound, followed by the sound FX of the ball rolling into the hole, and then an emphatic cello note. Sounds of birds chirping are heard in the background.

Availability: Appeared on Maury until its 2022 end.
