<P> For the first episode, an exotic - looking logo was used for the opening credits . However, after the band Living Colour claimed in a lawsuit that the show stole the band's logo and name, the logo was changed to one with rather plain - type letters of three colors . </P> <P> In the first two seasons, the opening sequence was set in a room covered with painters' tarps . Each cast member, wearing black - and - white, played with brightly colored paint in a different way (throwing globs of it at the camera by hand, using a roller to cover the camera lens, etc .). The sequence ended with a segue to a set built to resemble the rooftop of an apartment building, where the show's dancers performed a routine and opened a door to let Keenen Ivory Wayans greet a live audience . </P> <P> For the third and fourth seasons, an animated sequence and different logo were used . Cast members were superimposed over pictures hanging in an art gallery and interacted with them in different ways (spinning the canvas to put it right - side up, swinging the frame out as if it were a door, etc .). The final image was of the logo on a black canvas, which shattered to begin the show . The fifth season retained the logo, but depicted the cast members on various signs and billboards around a city (either New York or Chicago), ending with the logo displayed on a theater marquee . </P> <P> The hip - hop group Heavy D & the Boyz performed two different versions of the opening theme . One version was used for the first two seasons and remixed for the fifth, while the other was featured in the third and fourth seasons . </P>
