The Gracie production logo depicts noisy movie patrons at a movie theatre 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. 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 with people shouting "Olé!" at the end.
