Notes:
Nikndaph Productions
(June 12, 1989-October 16, 1991)
Nickname: "Way to Go, Dad!"
Logo: On a white background, we see a pastel drawing of a boy in a blue suit with a red necktie and gray pants, and he has his left arm around a little girl (probably his little sister). In front of the drawing are the words "NiKNDAPH PRODUCTIONS". "NiKNDAPH" is in large, colorful crayon lettering (and the "i" is intentionally lower-cased), while "PRODUCTIONS" is underneath in a small white font.
Music/Sounds: Either the end theme or a little boy saying, "Way to go, Dad!", followed by a man saying, "Okay, thank you", with some clapping and cheering in the background.
Availability: Extinct. This was seen on Doctor, Doctor, which hasn't been seen since its last airing on USA Network in the 1990s. It's also seen on the short-lived CBS sitcom Teech and the TV pilot of Steel Magnolias.
Editor's Note: The picture done in pastel makes it look distorted and the voice-overs don't even match with what is shown. Also, from the name "NikNDaph", we can assume that the kids' names in the drawing are "Nick" and "Daph" (or "Daphine"), respectively. However, that doesn't explain why the logo couldn't have just used "Nick N' Daph Productions" instead. The Steel Magnolias variant is grammatically incorrect as it should be "A Nikndaph Production and".

Nothing Can Go Wrong Now Productions
(March 30, 2003-June 17, 2005)
Nicknames: "The Teal Car", "The Ironic Company Name", "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"
Music/Sounds: The sound of the car sputtering and a man and a woman unconvincingly yelling "AAAAAHHHHHH!".
Availability: Rare. This was only seen on Complete Savages and The Pitts.
Editor's Note: Some may be uneasy about the subject matter, but it's mostly funny for those who don't take it seriously.
One Ho(e) Productions
(September 1992-February 5, 2006; 2015- )
Nicknames: "Whoopi Drawing", "Creepi Goldberg"
Logo: We see a black-and-white caricature of Whoopi Goldberg inside a CGI black marble frame. Not much is drawn of her except her head/face, a curved line going downwards from the back of her neck (which is apparently supposed to signify her shoulder) and her hand, which is holding a pair of sunglasses; one of the arms is in Whoopi's mouth. In the bottom left-hand corner of the caricature, we see the artist's signature. In the bottom right-hand corner, we see "One Ho Productions, Inc." set in Revue, aligned like this:
Very often there is also copyright information chyroned right under it.
Trivia: The Whoopi Goldberg caricature is by Broadway caricature artist Al Hirschfeld (Hirschfeld's signature is on the bottom-left of the picture).
Pilot Boy Productions
(January 22, 2003-July 23, 2006)

In front of the drawing are the words "NiKNDAPH PRODUCTIONS". "NiKNDAPH" is in large, colorful crayon lettering (and the "i" is intentionally lower-cased), while "PRODUCTIONS" is underneath in a small white font.
Variant: On the unsold TV pilot of Steel Magnolias, the letter "A" is seen above the name and the word "and" below it reading as "A Nikndaph Productions and".
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: Either the end theme or a little boy saying, "Way to go, Dad!", followed by a man saying, "Okay, thank you", with some clapping and cheering in the background.

Nothing Can Go Wrong Now Productions
(March 30, 2003-June 17, 2005)
Nicknames: "The Teal Car", "The Ironic Company Name", "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"
Logo: We see an old, teal-colored car with a beige roof drive off a cliff and into the water below (the car comes in from the left of the screen, and even does a full 180-degree frontflip and lands upside down). "Nothing Can Go Wrong NowNothing Can Go Wrong Now Productions Productions" is shown below in the Hobo font.
Trivia: The footage used in this logo was originally shot for the 1977 filmThe Domino Principle. On Complete Savages, the logo cuts straight to the shortened Icon Productions logo right when the car hits the water, so that the thunder sound-effect on that logo seems to "complete" this logo's audio.
FX/SFX: It's all live-action.

PRODUCTIONS, INC.
Very often there is also copyright information chyroned right under it.
Trivia: The Whoopi Goldberg caricature is by Broadway caricature artist Al Hirschfeld (Hirschfeld's signature is on the bottom-left of the picture).
Variant: From 1992-93 and starting again in 2015, the logo is now in widescreen and in HD, has the words "ONE HOE" instead of "ONE HO", and the words and copyright notice, which now says "(copyright symbol) 1992" with "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" below it, which are both in Revue, slides up, the 1992-93 version used "One Ho".
FX/SFX: None. The words sliding up on the 1992-93 and 2015 variant.
FX/SFX: None. The words sliding up on the 1992-93 and 2015 variant.
Music/Sounds: A 5-note hip hop-style beat starting in 1999. The Whoopi Goldberg Show had the end theme play over. On early season 1 episodes of Hollywood Squares, this logo was silent. The TV movie Call Me Claus just features the last 4 notes of the jingle and NBC airings of Whoopi use the networks generic music.
Availability: Rare.

Editor's Note: The caricature in this logo has been known to creep out some, but those familiar with Al Hirschfeld's work shouldn't be worried.

Editor's Note: This logo can be quite startling to those who have never seen it before, but it's mostly funny. Language, of course, may contribute.
