Background
Calico Entertainment was a subsidiary of World Events Productions. The company was best known for co-producing Denver, the Last Dinosaur and Vytor: The Starfire Champion with WEP. The company went dormant in 1993 after What Could Possibly Go Wrong?, a concept pilot for a cancelled Bubsy television show that only aired on Thanksgiving 1993 and never again, but was revived in 1997 to produce the VHS This Land is Your Land: The Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie, the TV movie Bad Baby, and The New Adventures of Zorro. In 1998, after The New Adventures of Zorro was cancelled, WEP officially retired Calico Entertainment.
1st Logo (September 12, 1988-1989)
Visuals: Against a gold stony surface that looks like granite is the purple word "Calico" under a spotlight, casting a shadow. Above it is the following in a handwritten font:
Produced by
Small spots move on the name.
Variant: A opening variant exists. Here, the text reads:
Presents
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The end theme of the show.
Availability: It was preserved on the shows Denver, the Last Dinosaur and Vytor: The Starfire Champion.
2nd Logo (September 29, 1990-April 6, 1997)
Visuals: On a dark green marble-esque surface, a curve thickens to form a "C" while the screen zooms out, revealing that the surface is actually a square being split in half, forming the Calico logo (a concave rectangle and a curved semi-circle-like figure) on a cream background. While this happens, the dark gray text "CALICO" (in a condensed font) can be seen below the Calico logo. As the camera finishes zooming, the word "ENTERTAINMENT" fades below "CALICO". During the zoom out, the shadows cast by the logo and the words is seen moving from the left-top to the right-bottom.
Variants:
- On the failed Bubsy pilot, a copyright notice appears below.
- On This Land is Your Land: The Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie, an in-credit variant is seen. On top of the Calico Entertainment logo is "Animation by", and below it is the address "9340 Eton Ave, Chatsworth, CA 91311".
- On Bad Baby, a still version is seen. The logo is dark blue and the background is pink.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The end theme from the show or movie. The Bubsy pilot had a 5-note sounder.
Availability: It was preserved on shows like Mr. Bogus and Widget. It was also seen on the failed Bubsy concept pilot What Could Possibly Go Wrong?, which can be viewed on YouTube here, This Land is Your Land: The Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie, and Bad Baby.
