Background: Langley Productions was initially established as "Barbour/Langley Productions", named after Malcolm Barbour and John Langley, the creators of Cops. In 1994, Barbour retired from producing Cops. As of 1996, it's now known as its current name.
Barbour/Langley Productions
1st Logo
(March 11, 1989-December 12, 1992)
Nicknames: "The Cops Logo I", "The Pink Logo"
Logo: Over a black background, the text "BARBOUR", in pink, flies from the right of the screen, with "LANGLEY" doing the same thing from the left. They both criss-cross and land on opposite sides, and a white slash draws itself between them. "PRODUCTIONS, INC." appears below, in pink.
Variant: On some episodes of Cops, this logo would have a copyright notice.
FX/SFX: The flying text.
Music/Sounds: A dramatic 8-note synth tune that begins with 4 descending notes, followed by a 5th done on synth strings when the words land, followed by 3 more ascending notes.
Availability: Rare. Can be seen on 1989-1992 episodes of Cops.
Editor's Note: Those who may have seen reruns from this era may be caught off guard seeing this logo for the first time. The high contrast colors might cause migraines as well.
2nd Logo
(August 15, 1992-September 18, 1999)
Nicknames: "The Cops Logo II", "The Silver Logo"
Logo: Almost the same as before, except everything is silver and in 3D, and occurs at a faster rate. Also, there is no "INC." at the end, and the text is in Univers font.
FX/SFX: Same as the last logo.
Music/Sounds: A southern guitar riff. For the first two years of this logo's usage, the previous logo's theme was used, which was sometimes shortened.
Availability: Uncommon. Appears on pre-1999 episodes of Cops. A still version of the logo may appear on Spike airings on Cops.
Editor's Note:The guitar stinger used in this logo is said to be memorable. Same as the previous logo for the one with the previous logo's music, but the colors are darker than the previous one.

Nickname: "The Cops Logo IV", "The Langley Flash"
