Visuals: On a gray background, there is a cursive letter "B". In front of the letter "B", there are several black shapes with letters inside. The letter "A" is inside a black circle on top, each letter of the word "BRISKIN" is inside a black square except for the letters "I" which are inside a rectangle, and the word "PRODUCTION" inside a wide black ellipse on the bottom, all in the Clarendon font.

On the first season of The Donna Reed Show, the word "TODON" is seen above the name "BRISKIN" with two black diamonds in between the names.
On Ranch Party, it's similar to the the above variant, but the words "RANCH PARTY" are added below "BRISKIN".
