Logo pictures by Eric S. and Shadeed A. Kelly
1st logo
(1985)
Logo: The abridged version of the 1984-85 logo.
Music/SFX: Same as the film logo.
Cheesy Factor: The only thing cheesy about the logo is the CGI animation for the blue ball at the beginning, other than that's it's an OK logo.
Availability: Can be found on "Space Police".
Scare Factor: Median.
2nd Logo
(1986-2004)
Nickname: "The Snake"
Logo: Same as the "Snake" movie logo, only the parts with the elongated circle are deleted. The text "TOUCHSTONE TELEVISION" is aside the blue circle, and the text has the lightning going through it. When it reaches the circle, the circle flashes and the lightning appears.
Variants:
FX: The flash, lightning and somewhat simple animation.
Music: A short piano sounder with bells on the collision.
Availability: Common, can be seen on most non-family programs produced by the Walt Disney Company, specifically reruns of "Home Improvement" on Nick at Nite, TBS, WGN, and in local syndication, or "Boy Meets World" on ABC Family. With the Touchstone copyright stamp appears on "The Golden Girls" DVD sets.
Scare Factor: Minimal, the different music makes it feel less ominous than the movie logo.
3rd Logo
(2004-)
Nicknames: "Flash", "CGI Thunderball"
Logo: Basically a sped up version of the 2002 Touchstone Pictures logo. We see a light shining over a black screen. The light condenses and we see the gold stone
from past Touchstone logos over a blue sphere. Finally, the words...
zoom out to their place under the sphere.
FX: It's all CGI.
Music: Usually silence or the show's ending theme. Sometimes, it used the previous logo's music.
Availability: Appeared on Touchstone Television's programs on the Fall of 2004. "Less Than Perfect" was found to have the old jingle, while "8 Simple Rules" continued to feature the ending theme. According to gabrielboros, this logo still appears on new "Monk" episodes on USA.
Scare Factor: Same as Logo 1.

Variants:
- The ending theme of whatever show would play over this logo sometimes, especially those produced by Witt-Thomas-Harris.
- On some shows (especially Witt-Thomas shows), there would be a copyright notice saying the year, and Touchstone Films (later Touchstone Pictures and Television).
