Background

This was a vanity card made by Joe Murray who created Rocko's Modern Life (for Nickelodeon) and Camp Lazlo! (for Cartoon Network). He is currently working on Lets Go Luna! for PBS Kids and also runs a website called KaboingTV.

1st Logo (1992)

Visuals: Same as the second Games Animation Inc. logo, except that the text reads "Joe Murray Studios Company Inc".

Technique: A still, hand-painted image.

Audio: The closing theme of the short.

Availability: Was only seen on the original version of the Rocko's Modern Life short "Trash-O-Madness", which is available on the show's DVD release from Shout! Factory.

2nd Logo (October 22, 1995-November 24, 1996)

Visuals: On a colorful background, there is a group of blue and red random characters (mostly inanimate objects with anthropomorphic features such as the TV, the timer, the car, and the coffee cup), including a sketch that resembles Rocko's dog Spunky from Rocko's Modern Life at the bottom. Over it, there is the white rectangle with the words "JOE MURRaY" (with each letter inside a black circle) in weird lettering with a gold crown above the space between the "E" and "M" with "productions" in the script-like writing underneath. There are three twinkling stars over the text.

Technique: A still, hand-painted image.

Audio: The closing theme.

Availability: Was originally seen on seasons 3-4 episodes of Rocko's Modern Life on Nickelodeon. It can be found on VHS releases of the show and seasons 3-4 and its complete series DVDs.

3rd Logo (March 11, 2011-2016)

Visuals: On a white background, there is a cartoon drawing of a green frog with only his eyes peeking out. The text "Joe MURRay" in a signature style font appears above, with "Productions" in Times New Roman next to the frog. The company URL appears below.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the cartoon. On the Frog in a Suit trailers, a frog croaking is heard.

Availability: Shown at the end of Frog in a Suit on KaboingTV.
