A short sequence played at the very end of a program's [[Closing Credits]] to identify the production company that created the series. Sometimes also called "vanity cards," "taglines", "sign-offs", "closing/production logos" or an "endboard", these brief sequences display the production company's trademark/logo. They can occur at the beginning, which is usually done in movies to the opening beats of the theme music.

* '''R&D TV:''' Company formed to produce the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', its only show as of this writing. Its signoff features versions of Ron Moore and David Eick ("R" and "D") animated in a style reminiscent of [[Monty Python]]'s [[Terry Gilliam]], taking turns mutilating each other.

* '''[[Rankin/Bass Productions]]''': Creators of numerous well-remembered animated [[Christmas Special|Christmas specials]] in the '60s and '70s (''[[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]'' being the first and arguably most popular of these.) Their classic '60s-'70s logo has an upright rectangle and two circles popping up to form a stylized overlapping "R" and "B" over a white background, accompanied by the words "A Rankin Bass Production", as a brief musical theme with bongos, piano and flute swells to a crescendo and [[Sting (music)|Sting]].
