1st Logo (Late 1990s-2004)

Visuals: After a flash, a yellow thunderbolt slides down to the bottom-right corner of the screen. Then, after another flash, a second thunderbolt slides down to the bottom-left corner. With a third flash, a third thunderbolt stays in the center, with the text "Derek Savage Productions" in Arial Black zooming out into position. Then the words "PLAY MOVIE Again!" (in Times New Roman) appear, along with a red button and purple frame. All of this happens against a black background.

Trivia: This logo also appears as a GIF on the bottom of webpages on Savage's website.

Technique: Flash animation by Jason Gullifer.

Audio: The sounds of thunder.

Availability: Only seen on the Trolly the Trout cartoon. The GIF version still appears on Savage's website.

2nd Logo (2005-2015)

Visuals: In front of a blue sky background, a rotating globe slowly zooms into the screen, with a sun behind it. The clouds fade into a night sky, and a thunderbolt strikes the globe, causing it to explode, and the words "Derek Savage Productions" to zoom in, in a white Arial Black font. After a few seconds, the wordmark zooms in, covering the screen in white. Throughout the logo, the words "skip intro" (in the same font) are in the bottom right corner, along with a play icon.

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: A wind sound, followed by the sounds of a thunderbolt and a explosion.

Availability: Only seen on the Derek Savage website around this time.

3rd Logo (February 1, 2015-)

Visuals: A similar concept to the previous logo. There is a rotating globe zooming into the screen against a time-lapsed cloud background, with a sun appearing behind it. The sky fades into a darker, monochrome shade, and the planet explodes, with the text in Arial:

Derek Savage
Productions

zooming into the screen (with a shiny texture), in front of the explosion. After a few seconds, the letters fly apart.

Variant: On The Savage Crime Show, the logo is shortened to just the planet exploding and wordmark appearing.

Technique: A mix of 2D computer animation, CGI and live-action.

Audio: A wind noise, followed by an explosion sound.

Audio Variant: On Gun Self-Defense for Women, its recuts, and The Savage Crime Show, an orchestral fanfare is added.

Availability: First seen on the first recut of Cool Cat Saves the Kids, and appears on most Derek Savage productions ever since, such as Gun Self-Defense for Women and its recuts, all future recuts of Saves the Kids, the 420 Awards, Cool Cat's Crazy Dream, and Cool Cat Fights Coronavirus.
