Company Man

Background

Company Man Mike, or simply Company Man, is a YouTube channel that focuses on informative video essays related to large companies and their growth, decline, business, and other related topics.

1st Logo (May 15-July 26, 2017)

Visuals: A silhouette of a man zooms out over a white background with a blurred, blue diamond in the center. Several logos of various companies start to appear one-by-one in different positions on-screen. A blurred black outline then appears around the silhouette, and the text "Company Man" appears at the bottom of the screen. The screen flashes white, and then fades out.

Variant: Used as a card in this video, there is a still version of the logo without any company logos.

Technique: PowerPoint-like 2D animation.

Audio: The beginning of Haxhigeaszy - Creepin.

Availability: This was seen on all Company Man videos from its inception until "Remember These Apple Computers?".

2nd Logo (August 2, 2017-)

Visuals: Various company logos flash one-by-one over the center of a linear white-gray gradient. After one second, the logo sequence moves down, and three copies of it move down from above as well. Then, the silhouette from the last logo, now with a gradient effect, moves down and settles at the center of the screen. Each of the individual logos in the prior sequence then appear one-by-one, in a similar fashion to the previous logo. A shadow then forms beneath the silhouette, and the serif spaced-out text "COMPANY MAN" moves up at the far bottom of the screen. The screen then fades out.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: Same as the last logo.

Availability: Seen on all Company Man videos starting with "The Decline of RadioShack...What Happened?"
