Background

Nawmal (formerly known as Xtra-normal. and Xtranormal) is a Canadian digital entertainment company based in Montreal, Canada, that produces do-it-yourself animation software for the web and desktop and turns words from a script into an animated movie using text-to-speech and animation technologies. Originally launched in September 2008, it was a major success at YouTube until July 31, 2013, in which Xtranormal would shut down, which they encouraged users to complete and download their unfinished movies before that date. The company would eventually come back and change to its current name in April 2015.

Xtra-normal.

(September-October 16?, 2008)

Logo: On a black background, we see "xtra-" typing in one-by-one, which then spaces to "normal." The logo then slides to the left and the word "production" appears, which is smaller. All of the text are in a white color.

FX/SFX: The typing and the sliding.

Music/Sounds: Typewriter sounds followed by what sounds like a printer printing and a thud noise when "production" appears.

Availability: Ultra rare. It only appeared on Xtra-normal. videos from the period.

Editor's Noteː None.

Xtranormal

1st Logo (October 16?, 2008-2010)

Logo: On a white background, we see the words "If you can type, you can make movies." typing on their own. A Windows XP cursor then drags a camera icon between "can" and "make", as we flip to the logo from before in gray, but without the hyphen or the period. "Text-to-Movie" appears along with the URL which wipes in, as the background then gets a grid-like pattern.

Variantː Sometimes, the logo is choppy, as this was common during its early usage.

FX/SFX: Standard 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Common, Seen on almost every single Xtranormal video from 2008-2010.

Editor's Noteː This is a memorable logo for people who saw Xtranormal videos at the time.

2nd Logo (2010-July 31, 2013)

Logo: In a stylized whiteboard with flying stylized "X"s and "N"s, the word "normal" in the same font as the last two logos slides to the center, followed by "xtra" sliding to the left and forming the name. Then, a stylized puffy "XN" starts draws themselves in, followed by "text-to-movie", sliding to the screen to the center, in which the logo ends.

Variantː During the logo's first year, the logo is choppier and starts when the stylized "XN" draw themselves.

FX/SFX: Standard 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Uncommon. It can be seen on almost every single Xtranormal video from 2010-2013.

Editor's Noteː None.
