Nickname: "Miller-Boyett"
Logo: Just an in-credit logo near the center (or bottom) of the screen with the text:
MILLER BOYETT
PRODUCTIONS
with or without a middle dot in between the last names. Would appear italicized on early season one episodes on Valerie. In 1987, the text was later changed to an italicized:Miller •Boyett
written in either gold, orange, yellow, or yellow-orange color with a drop shadow effect.
Variant: On episode 53 of The Hogan Family titled Close Encounters, the logo was in white while the credits were on a nighttime sky background.

Music/Sounds: The end title theme, simple music, or lines from any show.
Availability: Seen on Full House, Family Matters, The Hogan Family, Perfect Strangers, and Step By Step, among other M-B shows.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1986, 1996-1998)
Nickname: "M/B"
Logo: On a black background, we see an M merging from the top and a B merging from the right, with a slash mark drawing between the M and B (a la the Barbour/Langley Productions logo), making that "M/B", and then "Miller-Boyett P R O D U C T I O N S" appears below it.
Trivia: Originally, this logo came out in 1986 as an in-credit logo on Valerie.
FX/SFX: The animation in the logo.
Music/Sounds: A 5-note piano tune. For the in-credit, it's the end-title theme.
Availability: The in-credit logo is seen on later season episodes of Valerie (a.k.a. The Hogan Family for the U.S. syndication title). The animated version is seen on the last 2 seasons of Family Matters and Step By Step. This logo debuted at the time the Bickley-Warren "Static" logo debuted.
Scare Factor: None.

(1997-1999)
Logo: Against a cloudy sky BG, the words "Miller", "Boyett", "Warren", and "productions", all transparent and in white (except for the first letters of the first three words, which are pinkish), come in from all sides of the screen. A brownish frame zooms out and surrounds them, along with the space being filled in with a brown marble texture. The words become less transparent, and are arranged kind of like this:
FX/SFX: The words, background, and frame.
Music/Sounds: None, but sometimes the end-title theme plays over the logo.
Availability: Near extinction; it appeared on Two of a Kind and Meego, which are hardly, if ever, re-aired.
Scare Factor: None.
