For the most part, television show logos are throwaway crap. I'm always amazed that the networks throw millions of dollars at developing these shows, but can't spend a few more bucks on the wrapper. FX has proven to be one of the exceptions to the rule (HBO generally does a great job too). The eerie gothic/deco influenced logo for the new Ryan Murphy show, American Gothic, is so unexpected and weird, it sets the tone for the show perfectly. And the double "N" slash for The Ringer logo is a clever nod to the show's premise of overlapping twins pretending to be a single person. Both logos communicate ideas. This is what good design does. So everyone else in the newtwork marketing and design departments — your fired.
