Amigos de Garcia Productions

Background

Amigos de Garcia Productions is the production company headed by Greg Garcia. It is best known for Yes, Dear, Raising Hope, and My Name is Earl, among others.

(October 2, 2000-)

Logo: On a white background, we see an oval-shaped design, and inside, there are people in it making funny faces (a different one every episode; in some rare cases, there are also animals too). While the logo is different depending on the episode, the people are mostly seen wearing the same black sombrero with a red trim around it (the color of the sombrero may be dark blue or brown in some cases). Above the oval is the text "Amigos de Garcia" surrounding the top, with the text "Productions" surrounding the bottom.

Variants:

Sometimes, the people in the oval won't be making any funny faces.
During the logo's early years, the color of the oval mostly either varied in beige, light blue, or gray.
On the Yes, Dear episode "A Complicated Plot", the oval is a lavender-like gradient color and features a man sticking his tongue out, while the sombrero is replaced with a Santa hat.
On the Yes, Dear episode "Make Every Second Count", the oval is a lime green color and features The Wiggles (Jeff, Greg, Anthony and Murray) along with Captain Feathersword all wearing sombreros (this is a reference in-episode which they guest starred in).
On the Yes, Dear episode "We're Having a Baby", the oval is blue and features a baby inside.
On the Yes, Dear episode "March Madness", a man wearing a tie is seen holding a small American flag on it against a beige-colored oval.
On the Yes, Dear episode "Legoland", the oval is dark blue, and features a large Lego head with a woman face wearing a sombrero hat (a reference in-episode which had Legoland, much like The Wiggles on "Make Every Second Count" on that same series).
On the Yes, Dear episode "Tree Hugger", a woman is seen covering her face with her hands.
On My Name is Earl (except for a few episodes), Raising Hope and The Millers, the oval is now completely on a wooden background.
On the My Name is Earl episode "Number One", the oval is teal and features four people surrounding it in circles.
On the My Name is Earl episode "Van Hickey", a man's arms is seen grabbing the "Amigos de Garcia" text.
On the My Name is Earl episode "2 Balls, 2 Strikes", a man is seen looking up to two children in a small teal-colored oval.
On the My Name is Earl episode "Reading is a Fundamental Case", the name instead reads "Happy Birthday, Gump!" above. Said episode was dedicated to Greg Garcia's newborn son, Gump.
On the Raising Hope episode "What Up, Bro?", the oval is a pond and features a black duck, with the white stacked text "In Memory of Quacky Slow Poke ???-8/27/2012" in Times New Roman below it.
Starting with The Guest Book, the background became wooden, the text became white, and the oval (with the exception of the pilot episode) is now white and features simplified tree branches with a blue bird and a pink rabbit on it, the latter watching a nest with some blue birds on it.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the show.

Music/Sounds Variants: On Raising Hope and The Millers, a child's voice gives a random one-liner.

Availability: Seen on My Name is Earl, Yes, Dear, and Raising Hope (Seasons 1-3 and a couple of Season 4 episodes; it has since been replaced with the Slowly I Turned Productions logo following Greg Garcia's departure from the series). Also appeared on The Millers and The Guest Book.

Editor's Note: This is a creative logo all around, varying from episode to episode, and is sometimes a favorite among fans of Greg Garcia's work.
