Background: This is a vanity card started in 1984 by the late Jeff Margolis, proudly located in LA (a.k.a Los Angeles) in the California state. The company's still around as of now, however.
1st Logo
(1987-2000)
<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="253" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/33debbbf237251122595cef1951a52d8b2c6b687" width="453"></iframe>

Nicknames: "Malofilm Video's Brother" "If Jeff Margolis invented THX himself"

Logo: On a black background, we see six thick triangles resembling the big triangle as the golden colored with metallic outlined "J" with two triangles zooms out and places behind the triangle. The red upside down triangle drops down between two golden triangles making the letter "M" as the words fade in "JEFF MARGOLIS PRODUCTIONS".

FX/SFX: All of the animation in the logo itself.

Music/Sounds: A THX-like synth pin followed by a synth drone combined with synth brass.

Availability: Seen on the short lived TV series Oscar's Greatest Moments. Might appear on other shows as well.

Editor's Note: Okay, so the entire logo may be a little tense. The THX-like music might sound very creepy to some, and the entire thing itself could startle people. Otherwise, the logo will most likely be harmless and might be a favorite for those who are fans of Jeff Margolis. On second thought, it might even be cool to some.
2nd Logo
(2000-)

Nicknames: "JMP of Boredom"

Logo: On a black background, we see the "J" and "P" with the square with the "M" inside between two letters with "JEFF MARGOLIS PRODUCTIONS" underneath. The pipes extends as they and the logo tilt.

FX/SFX: The logo and pipes tilting.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on current TV shows from them. Might appear on other shows as well.

Editor's Note: A bit better than before. The animation may be simple and choppy. But then again, the logo itself is most likely harmless and may be a favorite for those who are fans of Jeff Margolis himself.
