The Mathnet logo is a pastiche of the [[Seal of the City of Los Angeles|Los Angeles city seal]]. The symbols representing the city were replaced with mathematics iconography. The founding date is the year the pilot episode was filmed.

The Mathnet motto "to cogitate and to solve" is a pastiche of the LAPD motto "to protect and to serve."<ref>{{cite web|title=The Origin of the LAPD Motto|url=http://www.lapdonline.org/history_of_the_lapd/content_basic_view/1128 |work=LAPD Online |access-date=8 April 2018}}</ref>

At the conclusion of each episode, a title screen displays the Mathnet logo and motto against a blue background. The logo and motto were also featured on the doors of the police cars used in the Los Angeles episodes, mimicking the appearance of actual LAPD police cars.

Despite having their origins in Los Angeles, the show continued to use the logo and motto even after the setting of the show moved to New York City.
