Background
This is the production company of Kenya Barris.

1st Logo (2013)
Nicknames: "The Typewriter", "Kenya's Typewriter"

Logo: On a white background, we see a black typewriter that types the words "Courier" on the paper. Underneath is the company name (but with "Courier" in all caps) in a typewriter font.

FX/SFX: The typing and the typewriter moving.

Music/Sounds: The typewriter typing.

Availability: Seen on The Start Up.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (October 1, 2014-May 20, 2015)
Nicknames: "The Typewriter II", "Kenya's Typewriter II", "Kenya's Office"

Logo: In Kenya Barris' office room, we see a bookshelf with photos of his family, a piece of paper and Barris' typewriter with "Rainbow" (referring to his wife Rainbow Edwards Barris) in a script font on it. The typewriter types the words "Courier" in a typewriter font.

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, followed by a ding when it finishes.

Availability: Seen on season 1 episodes of Black-ish (excluding the pilot).

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (September 23, 2015-)
Nicknames: "The Typewriter III", "Kenya's Typewriter III", "Kenya's Office II", "Inglewood", "Shhh! Daddy's Working!"

Logo: We start off with a close-up of a donut sign outside (resembling that of Randy's Donuts; but the donut reads "INGLEWOOD" instead) in Inglewood, California. The view quickly pulls back as the rest of the state is shown at dusk with some buildings and traffic shown throughout. It pulls back further into the window of Kenya Barris' house in his office room, with photos of his family and a large bookshelf shown nearby. The camera pans over to Barris' typewriter with a paper typing itself, reading "Courier" in a large jumbled, typewriter font. The camera then zooms in as the paper comes into view as it finishes typing, showing the finished product.

Trivia: The city seen in the logo is actually a reference to Kenya Barris' hometown, as he was born in Inglewood, California.

Variants:
 * A more common shortened version exists on TV shows where it starts from the typewriter panning.
 * A still version exists on Blood Brothers: Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali.

FX/SFX: Mostly cut-out animation, mixed with some CGI. Done by B Creative.

Music/Sounds: Starts with Kenya Barris saying "Hey yo!" mixed with brief traffic sounds and the beatbox sound as his children then say "Mom!". As the view pulls back into the house and reveals the typewriter, his wife Rainbow Edwards Barris says "Shhh! Daddy's working!". Typewriter sounds are heard as the paper types, followed by a ding when it finishes. It ends off with Barris' children laughing as the paper comes into view.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * The shortened version just has the children's lines and Rainbow's voiceover, along with some traffic sounds.
 * Sometimes, the end theme plays over it or none.

Availability: Common. Can be seen on shows produced by Barris such as Black-ish (season 2 onwards), Grown-ish, Mixed-ish, Astronomy Club, #BlackAF, and We the People. The long variant can be found on B Creative's Vimeo account.
