Nickname: "The Inkwell"

Logo: On a black background, we see a white inkwell with a huge feather (also known as a "quill") right next to it. Above, we see the words "Sternin & Fraser Ink, Inc." in a white script font. Below the inkwell and quill is "in association with".

Variants:

A variant of the black background exists of the text and logo having shadows. This logo came back in 1989 with the logo on a dark blue background. In 1990, the background color changed to a blue-black gradient. When Highschool Sweethearts Productions took over part of the duties for The Nanny in 1995, the words "in association with" were eliminated.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The end-title theme of The Charmings, which is an Irish-sounding tune, concluding in two short keyboard notes (same two notes as the last two notes of the jingle from the Braniff closing logo on South Park). The tune was rearranged in 1990. Some TV shows featured only the last few notes. CBS airings of The Nanny, starting in 1994, used that network's generic music. The tune was sped-up beginning in the 1995-96 season.

Availability: Uncommon. This was first seen on the short-lived 1987 series The Charmings and the short-lived series Live-In and Married People. It can be seen on every episode of The Nanny.

Editor's Note: The music tries to sound happy, but in all fairness, sounds a tad creepy. However, this is much tamer than the previous logo.
