Harvey Levin Productions

Background
This is the production company of Harvey Levin, a television producer, legal analyst, celebrity reporter, and former lawyer. He is also the founder of celebrity news website TMZ, which was launched on November 8, 2005. On September 13, 2021, WarnerMedia sold TMZ to Fox Corporation (itself a spinoff of divested news assets made by the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company) as part of parent company AT&T's restructuration.

1st Logo (September 2, 2002-2008)
Nickname: "The Scales of Justice"

Logo: Against a smoky - background with curve-like patterns, we see a -colored scale of justice in a square frame balanced in the center. The text "HARVEY LEVIN PRODUCTIONS", in a bold serif font is shown below.

Variant: On TMZ on TV, the logo is squished.

FX/SFX: None, unless you want to count the fade in and fade out.

Music/Sounds: A six-note pizzicato string tune, or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Extinct. Seen on episodes of Celebrity Justice and episodes of TMZ on TV from the period.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2008-)
Nicknames: "I'm a Lawyer!", "Harvey in Jail"

Logo: We see the letters "HARVEY LEVIN PRODUCTIONS" arranged on a black slate, with the "N" in "LEVIN" being arranged by a hand, placing last. The camera then zooms out to show that it is being held by a black-and-white photo of Levin, showing that he is a prison inmate (a bottle of alcohol is in his right hand, as well). He exclaims "I'm a lawyer!" (made famous by Star Jones Reynolds, former host of The View), and his picture is taken.

Variants:
 * A still version exists, as well as a version where it only shows the first half.
 * In one 2012 TMZ on TV episode, Levin instead says "I'm gay!" (utilizing a soundbite from the episode proper). A rainbow also forms behind him.
 * An earlier episode has Star Jones herself in place of Levin, saying it in her voice.
 * On the September 21, 2009 episode of TMZ on TV, Levin says “I’m a pescatarian!” instead.
 * On the November 12, 2013 episode of TMZ on TV, Levin says "WHAAAAAAAATTTT?!?" instead.
 * On episodes of TMZ on TV starting in 2020, the logo is part of the show's split-screen credits.

FX/SFX: The last letter being arranged and Levin's mouth moving in a similar fashion to Flash animations on JibJab.com.

Music/Sounds: The same music from before, followed by Levin saying his phrase and a camera flash. Sometimes, the closing theme plays over.

Availability: Current. Seen on more recent episodes of TMZ on TV, as well as some TMZ specials. Also seen on Raq Rants.

Editor's Note: Levin's voice and the overall nature of the logo itself may catch someone off guard, but it's a funny one.
