1st Logo (February 10, 1987-April 26, 2002)

Visuals: On a black background, some stylized deep carmine pink letters fade in, which are Fred Silverman's initials "FS" as reflected ala a "mirror" effect in four different directions: left, right, below left, and below right. The words "THE FRED SILVERMAN COMPANY" appear on the logo, and is chyroned in. The letters then turn red, light orange, and light yellow. The end result approximates this:

A variant which features a slightly different color blend exists.
On season 2 of We Got It Made, the words "in association with" appear under the logo.
A still version exists, which appears on some episodes of In the Heat of the Night as well as some episodes of seasons 3 and 4 of Jake and the Fatman and on original ABC airings of the final episode of Matlock because of split screen credits.
A shorter version of this logo also exists; it begins with the already-formed logo.
On current HD remastered prints of In the Heat of the Night, the logo is cropped to 16:9 widescreen.
