Bumper Films (Ffilmiau Bumper Cyf) was a Welsh children's stop-frame animation production company formed on June 26, 1982 by John Walker and Ian Frampton. They are best known for Fireman Sam, which premeired in 1987 and is still going strong today. In 2001, the Fireman Sam brand was sold to Gullane Entertainment and after production on Starhill Ponies ended in 2002, the rest of the company closed down.
Logo: Superimposed over the ending of the show, at the bottom of the screen there is the text 'made by Bumper Films Ltd. for S4C' in yellow. Underneath it is the copyright 'Rocky Hollow ©Rockcense Ltd 1983 ©S4C 1983'.
Variant: On the Welsh version of Rocky Hollow, the text reads Cynhyrchiad Ffilmiau Bumper Cyf. ar gyfer S4C' instead. The copyright is the same.
FX/SFX: None, except for the ending of the show.

Nicknames: "Bumper Car" "WHOOSHHHH!"
Logo: The screen fades to a white background, and a picture of a bumper car fades in. Inside it are a boy wearing headphones and holding out a microphone, and a girl looking through a camera with a telephoto lens. On the car is a yellow flag with the company name in black. The whole symbol is colored blue and yellow. Underneath the bumper car is the text "BUMPER FILMS Ltd for S4C", with "S4C" being in said channel's corporate typeface. A copyright stamp attributing Prism Art & Design Ltd is displayed underneath.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The fade in from white.
Music/Sounds: On Fireman Sam, the synthesized whoosh from the end of the show's theme tune is heard. Oddly, the "whoosh" sound is also heard in Joshua Jones, but sounds noticeably faster. On the Fireman Sam Special Snow Business, we hear a wind-like sound.
