Ryan Murphy Productions

1st Logo (September 29, 1999-May 18, 2001)


Visuals: Against a slow-waving sheet of light emerald silk, a red line expands from the center outward. Above and below respectively, the gold words "Ryan Murphy Productions" and the logo for Roundtable Ink slide out from below and above the line.

Variant: On the Popular episode "Two Weddings and a Funeral", the logo is slightly shorter.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A one-note synth tune.

Audio Variants:

  • On episode 2 of Popular, a four-note fanfare is also heard.
  • On the Popular episode "Two Weddings and a Funeral", Mary Cherry (portrayed by Leslie Grossman) sings "I'm a greatest star who've ever lived". This is probably taken from an unknown 1960s song.

Availability: Seen on Popular.

2nd Logo (3rd logo placeholder) (July 22-August 5, 2003)


Visuals: Just the name "ryan / murphy / productions" on a black background.

Technique: A still digital graphic.

Audio: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the first three episodes of Nip/Tuck, most likely as a placeholder.

3rd Logo (August 12, 2003-April 23, 2017)


Visuals: On a black background, a small cube with alternating green and white faces spins as it slides to the left, leaving the words "RYAN MURPHY PRODUCTIONS" in white. The cube then stops with one green side facing the camera, creating a small flash of transparent green squares and containing an abstract sun, which spins clockwise as if it were a loading icon.

Variant: In later years, the logo is sped up.

Technique: Simple animation.

Audio: None, or a Fox and NBC generic theme with voiceover announcements. On Nip/Tuck, the end theme plays over it.

Availability: Seen on seasons 1-6 of American Horror Story, Nip/Tuck, Glee, The Glee Project, The New Normal, Scream Queens, season 1 of American Crime Story and Feud.
