  • This food variant was used for the entire series.

    This food variant was used for the entire series.


Visuals: There is a shot of a table with a white-and-red checkerboard tablecloth with several flower designs seen throughout. On top is a white cloth reading "Where's Lunch" in a blue serif font. To the left of the cloth is a folded red napkin with a fork on top. On the right side of the cloth is a knife and spoon. Above is a bread basket with several dinner rolls inside, salt and pepper shakers, and a glass of water. A hand then places a plate of food, which varies depending on the episode, on top of the cloth.

Trivia:

  • The piano ditty in this logo was actually used at the end of some episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond.
  • This logo is (obviously) a nod to Phil Rosenthal's love of food, and he later hosted two different food-oriented travel series (I'll Have What Phil's Having on PBS, and Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix).

Variants:

  • Starting in 1997, different utensils with blue handles are used and the company name also looks different.
  • During the logo's early years, most of the plates were placed using one hand, while the rest of the series used two hands.
  • In 1999, with the show's transition to widescreen, a widescreen version was created.
  • On the episode "The Finale", the utensils are absent and the napkin is also crumpled on the left side of the cloth.
  • There is also a version where there is a glass cup. The hand fills it up with what seems to be water.
  • Some international adaptations of Everybody Loves Raymond simply use a still in-credit version.

Food Variants: There is a lot of them. Here's what can be found on the plate:
