| + | Some special versions of the company's jingle were made to fit certain episodes of the Simpsons. |
| − | ** On [[Treehouse of Horror Series|Treehouse of Horror]] episodes from [[Treehouse of Horror II|II]], there is a pipe organ playing the jingle minorly and a girl screaming.
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror II|II]] and [[Treehouse of Horror III|III]], the organ played, without the scream.
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror IV|IV]], the scream was added in.
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror VI|VI]], the jingle was played as a Myst/Philip Glass Homage as heard in Homer³.
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror VII|VII]], [[Treehouse of Horror VIII|VIII]] (along with [[Treehouse of Horror XVII|XVII]], [[Treehouse of Horror XVIII|XVIII]] and [[Treehouse of Horror XX|XX]]), [[Treehouse of Horror XI|XI]], [[Treehouse of Horror XIII|XIII]], [[Treehouse of Horror XIV|XIV]], and [[Treehouse of Horror XVI|XVI]] the organ played slightly different kinds of logos.
| |
| − | **** It seems [[Treehouse of Horror VII|VII]] has one of the most scariest screams in this logo, due to it being a different kind of scream.
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror IX|IX]], the organ played, but the scream was replaced with Regis Philbin screaming, "My eyes, my beautiful eyes!" as heard in The Terror of Tiny Toon.
| |
| − | *** [[Treehouse of Horror X|X]]'s version of the logo is a reuse of [[Treehouse of Horror II|II]], [[Treehouse of Horror III|III]], [[Treehouse of Horror IV|IV]], [[Treehouse of Horror V|V]] and [[Treehouse of Horror IX|IX]] in terms of the organ.
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror XII|XII]], the scream is being heard during the organ.
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror XV|XV]], the scream was replaced with Homer screaming through this logo and 20th Century Fox Television logo, similar to [[The Blunder Years]]. This variant was reused in [[Treehouse of Horror XXII|XXII]] and [[Treehouse of Horror XXIII|XXIII]].
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror XIX|XIX]], the jingle was played in a 'Peanuts' style heard in It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse which was then reused in [[Gone Abie Gone]].
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror XXI|XXI]], the organ played but the original scream was replaced by a Wilhelm scream.
| |
| − | *** On [[Treehouse of Horror XXIV|XXIV]], the original scream was replaced with people shouting the phrase, "One of Us!".
| |
| − | ** On some episodes that feature songs during the closing credits, the closing song continues playing over the logo.
| |
| − | *** [[Dancin' Homer|Capital City]]
| |
| − | *** [[Lisa the Vegetarian|Maybe I'm Amazed]]
| |
| − | *** [[The Old Man and the "C" Student|Can't Buy Me Love]] (This also ran into the 20th Century Fox TV logo)
| |
| − | *** [[Bye Bye Nerdie|Always Safety First]]
| |
| − | *** [[Papa Don't Leech|America's Back and We're Feeling Patriotic]]
| |

| |
| − | *** [[Lisa the Greek|Whistle then Marching Band]]
| |
| − | *** [[Homer at the Bat|Cricket bat then Baseball Organ]]
| |
| − | *** [[The Otto Show|Electric Guitar]]
| |
| − | *** [[Kamp Krusty|Mexican Style then Olé chant]] (Used on the album ''[[Songs in the Key of Springfield]]'')
| |
| − | *** [[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)|Vegas style then slot machine]] (Used on the album ''[[Songs in the Key of Springfield]]'')
| |
| − | *** [[Lisa's Wedding|Renaissance]] (Used on the album ''[[Songs in the Key of Springfield]]'')
| |
| − | *** [['Round Springfield|First Saxophone]]
| |
| − | *** [[Summer of 4 Ft. 2|Second Saxophone]]
| |
| − | *** [[Lisa's Sax|Third Saxophone]]
| |
| − | *** [[Miracle on Evergreen Terrace|Christmassy]]
| |
| − | *** [[Margical History Tour|Similar Renaissance]]
| |
| − | ** The only time the logo can be seen within the episode was in [[You Kent Always Say What You Want]], where after being interrupted by the 20th Century Fox TV logo when saying 'The truth is-', Homer on a white screen whispers to the fourth wall, "OK. What I was going to say was-," before the 'shush' interruption and the end credits.
| |
| − | ** Some episodes might use a sound bite from the episode, or use a voiceover from a character in that episode that plays alongside the jingle or replacing the jingle.
| |
| − | *** These kind of variants are possibly inspired by the 'Deedle-Dee Tag' of Deedle-Dee Productions as heard in nearly every episode of [[Mike Judge]]'s animated comedy King of the Hill.

| |
| − | ** The only visual variation of this logo was in "[[Last Tap Dance in Springfield]]", where after the "Shhh!" we hear Little Miss Vicki saying "Tappa, tappa, tappa" and then the logo's main animation slides up to take up the top half of the screen, while the bottom half has an animated black-and-white scene of a cat rubbing its eyes (with fake prop arms from offscreen) and smiling (this was in an old Miss Vicki movie Lisa was watching).
| |
| − | ** In two episodes, the jingle is played at the start of the logo and then a sound is heard. In "[[All Singing, All Dancing]]", [[Snake Jailbird]] shoots his gun to stop the music as in the credits and says, "You too, Gracie music dude. Gaw!" and in [[Elementary School Musical]], a cow moo is heard at the very end of the jingle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The company's production office is located in the Sidney Poitier Building on the Sony Pictures Studios lot in Culver City, California.
