in Times New Roman Italic in black. Then a hand (presumably belonging to Paul Reiser himself) reaches in and moves the first word up a little.Variants:
- The logo was later remade for HD with different hand footage.
- On original NBC airings ofMad About You, the logo is inside the split-screen credits. The text is to small to fit in the entire logo and we see more of the hand moving "Nuance".
Music/Sounds: No music, but we hear a sliding sound as the hand moves "Nuance" up. NBC airings used a generic theme starting in 1994. The remake has a different sliding sound.
