Bang Zoom! Entertainment

Background

Bang Zoom! Entertainment was an anime dubbing studio based in Burbank, California.

1st Logo (2000s)

• 

Visuals: Two black lines move to either side of the screen to reveal a dark blue gradient background. A starfield appears, followed by Saturn, the latter of which shows up on the bottom left of the screen. A yellow rocket with red accents flies out of Saturn as a white beam trails below it. It travels erratically, and once it is on the bottom right of the screen, a small burst of light occurs as the rocket dashes by. A yellow comic explosion symbol with an orange outline zooms in while spinning. The words "Bang" and "Zoom!", both of which are in a red, cartoony font with shadows, appear one by one. White text that says "Entertainment" (in the Mister Earl font) fades in below "Zoom!" as another beam of light rushes by in the background. The background then fades out, with the logo following suit afterwards.

Technique: 2D digital animation.

Audio: Three quick sounds at the start (almost sounding like someone sniffling), followed by a stock whoosh sound effect. A crowd of people shout the company's name when "Bang" and "Zoom!" appear. When "Entertainment" fades in, a female voice is heard, who also says the company's name. Throughout, a sci-fi droning sound is heard.

Availability: Can be seen on DVDs of Haré+Guu from AN Entertainment.

2nd Logo (July 7, 2014-)

• 

Visuals: On a turquoise background, there is the Bang Zoom logo from before (without "Entertainment") with a white border (aside from the explosion symbol), as white rings emerge from it. As the screen zooms out of the image, it's revealed to be on a sheet on paper.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: An electronic sting with a Japanese voiceover saying the company's name.

Availability: Seen on the English dub of the 2005 reboot of Doraemon on Disney XD.
