Logo description by Michael Bass(1992-)(1992-2009)Nickname: "Big Dog"
Logo: On a blue background, we see a caricature of Jay Leno drawn in white with the word "BIG" to Jay's left drawn in a white vertical font, and "DOG" to his right, also drawn in a white vertical font. Below Jay is the words "PRODUCTIONS INC." and below that, "in association with," both in white. After this logo, whatever logo NBC's production division is using at the moment appears with a copyright stamp below the logo.
FX/SFX: None.
Cheesy Factor: Jay's hair is not drawn directly onto his head, which might make the caricature look silly to some people. The logo also looks like one that could have been made in Microsoft Paint.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno plays over the logo.
Availability:
WasExtinct; was seen on
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on NBC and NBC.com from the show's premiere in 1992 to the show's end in 2009. It may have also appeared on the 2000 direct-to-video movie
24/7 36: Body Talk.
It may also be seen on future episodes Leno's current show The Jay Leno Show (the show hasn't used the logo yet).Scare Factor: None; this logo is silly, but not scary at all.
