1st Logo (September 17, 2002-May 18, 2004)

in a black Times New Roman font.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : The closing theme of the show.

2nd Logo (September 24, 2004-June 22, 2007)

Nickname : "The Snowglobe", "From Fall to Summer"

Logo:  We zoom out around an autumn landscape with falling leaves, which turns to winter with snow falling. The whole action performs inside a snowglobe. with a wooden chair in front of it. Underneath the snowglobe, the words "SHADY ACRES" appear in a flash, in a black Times New Roman font. The chair is in between the two words. Under the words "ACRES" is the small word "ENTERTAINMENT". The action in the globe continues to spring, with the creek running, and then it becomes summer.

Variants : There are two variations of this logo. The first one has the short version as it does so. The second one has the long version of the logo seen on movies.

FX/SFX : The seasons changing inside the globe, the creek flows, the clouds, etc. All nice CGI effects.

Music/Sounds : A beautiful fanfare composed by John Debney. Sometimes, it's the opening/closing soundtrack of the show or movie.

Availability : Can be seen on later episodes of 8 Simple Rules. The animated version is seen on Accepted and Evan Almighty. _______________________________________________________________
