Duck Soup Productions

Background

Duck Soup Productions is an animation company that produces commercials for their clients. They were also responsible for creating character animations for PC games.

1st Logo (1996)

Visuals: Over a black background, there is an orange-filled (albeit painting style) square with a crayon drawing of a pink bowl containing green soup and a yellow duck swimming at the top with a circled, cartoony, black "DUCK SOUP PRODUCKIONS INC." with a duck symbol at the top. There is a green smell rising up from the soup.

Technique: 2D cel animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen only on Mr. Potato Head Saves Veggie Valley.

2nd Logo (2000's)

Visuals: There is the illustration of a duck wearing a top-hat sitting on a bowl of soup surrounded by two circles behind it. The circle reads “DUCK SOUP PRODUCKIONS INC.” The duck then quacks once and returns to its normal position.

Variant: On Ducks on the March, the logo is in black & white. There is a cloudy background with TCF-esque searchlights surrounding it. The texts “DUCKS ON THE MARCH” fade in with a square outline & “DUCKTONE NEWS” on a black square outline below the square outline. The text fades out & the logo flips half-vertically sliding up. The logo plays as normal.

Technique: 2D cartoon-like animation.

Audio: A quack sound from the duck.

Audio Variant: On Ducks on the March, there is an announcer say “Ducks on the March!”, followed by a heroic fanfare & the quack from the duck (as described above).

Availability: Seen on works from the company such as Ducks on the March.

Legacy: This logo is a favorite to many who love Duck Soup’s creations.
