Background[]
This was the vanity card of Paul Haggis, the creator of EZ Streets and co-creator of Family Law.
Logos[]
1st Logo (1996–2000)[]
On a sky background, there is the text "PAUL HAGGIS Productions" in the middle of the screen. The "PAUL HAGGIS" text is sandwiched between two lines above and below it respectively and "Productions" is underneath. There is a sun in the upper left corner shining and there are clouds moving in the background. A man with a cloth around him and feathers around him falling down panicking. He falls off screen and a few feathers fall down with him.
2nd logo (2000-2002)[]
On a blue sky background with a sun in the center, Icarus is seen flying towards the sun. When he's somewhat near the sun, his "wings" falls apart causing him to do a back flip and then he spirals down face-first toward the screen before the logo suddenly cuts to the CBS Productions logo. During all this, "PAUL HAGGIS" is seen underneath the sun and "PRODUCTIONS", which is spaced out, is seen below "PAUL HAGGIS", which is separated by a line.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
Depends on the show:
- On EZ Streets, the closing theme of the show is heard alongside a man yelling in an unconvincing manner.
- On Family Law, the soundbite is more dramatic and there is no closing theme. Depending on the episode, the scream would either trail off onto the Columbia TriStar Television logo or the CBS Productions logo (starting with the episode, "Damages"), original CBS airings runs a Letterman promo over the logos.
2nd logo[]
- Initially, the logo used the Family Law soundbite from the 1st logo. This was only on the episode, "The Witness".
- Starting with season 2 of Family Law, a different, more fitting soundbite was used. This consists of Icarus going "Uh. Oh. WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"; this also trails off into the CBS Productions logo. Starting with the second episode of season 2, we can hear the flapping of Icarus's "wings". And finally, starting with episode 5 of season 2, the pitch of Icarus's scream is now in a noticeably lower pitch.
- Original CBS airings run promos for Letterman over the logo.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
Minimal. Admittedly, it's pretty humorous.
2nd logo[]
Low. Icarus falling directly onto the screen will probably not sit well with some people.
