Brooks' production company, established in 1984 and named for comedienne Gracie Allen.
The VanityPlate takes place in a cinema room where a lady shushes noisy attendees as the lights dim, and the words "GRACIE FILMS" appear on screen while accompanied by a [[EarWorm catchy]], jazzy, jingle composed by Jeffrey Townsend.
Some people have said that the jingle was inspired by the chorus of the Go West! song "The King of Wishful Thinking," [[OlderThanTheyThink but the logo and jingle actually predate the song by a couple of years]].
