The Gracie production logo depicts noisy movie patrons at a movie theater hearing a woman in the back row saying "Shhhhh!" so the title, the company's name, can be projected, and that the company's musical signature can be heard. Some special versions of the company's jingle were made to fit certain episodes of the Simpsons. The music over the logo was composed by [[Jeffrey Townsend]].

Some special versions of the company's jingle were made to fit certain episodes of the Simpsons. For example, after a Halloween episode of the Simpsons, the company's jingle was played by a large organ with a girl screaming in the background. Other special kinds of the jingle were a medieval music one (in [[Lisa's Wedding]]) and a ranchera one in [[Kamp Krusty]] with people shouting "Olé!" at the end. Sometimes, there is a commentary after the "shh" is heard. For example, Simon Cowell, as a special guest, was "insulting" the people on the credits and after the "shh" Simon says "Oh, 'shush' yourself" also, in another episode a soldier in the shower of [[Brother's Little Helper]] says"Oh, why did you have to 'shhh'?

It is often speculated that the main chorus of the 1990 song entitled King of Wishful Thinking by the British pop band Go West can be heard in this musical signature. This has been fervently denied by some members of the successful pop band, though others have expressed their displeasure.
