Visuals: Against a black background, a steel blue blob quickly zooms up to us. Then, the words:

"OH THAT
GUS!
"

inc.

zoom up, one by one, just as quickly. The words are colored white, and are written in a bulged-out font similar to the kind used in the Family Guy logo. The entire logo then quickly zooms out.

Technique: 2D Flash animation.

Audio: An upbeat, 1960's-like three-note brass fanfare with a "ding" as the end, which is synced up to the animations of the logo as the words appear. A film projector sound is also heard throughout. Composed by Brian Wankum.

Audio Variants:

  • On No Ordinary Family, the same tune is played on a piano, and the "ding" is replaced with a quiet "thud" at the end. The film projector sound is also removed. This was composed by Josh Kramon.
  • On Monarch, it's silent.
  • Original Fox and ABC airings of the shows used a generic theme.

Availability: Seen on Tru Calling on Fox, Reunion on Fox, Big Shots on ABC, No Ordinary Family on ABC and Monarch on Fox.
