'''Editor's Note:''' This is much simpler than the next logo because the "O" is different with a more minimalistic design. It is also boring because it just fades in and out.

Background:

O Entertainment is a production company founded by Steve Oedekerk in 1990. O Entertainment produced the Thumbs! series (Thumb Wars, Bat-Thumb, Thumbtanic, etc), Santa vs. the Snowman 3D, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and Back at the Barnyard among other shows and movies. Oedekerk later founded Omation as an animation subsidiary in 2002. The studio has gone dormant since Planet Sheen, which was poorly-received and was a ratings flop.

1st Logo (September 3, 1997)

Nicknames: "Talking O", "Ha-ha Oedekerk!", "The Big O"

Logo: On a black background, we see a light yellow "O", with "ENTERTAINMENT" also in light yellow below it. The "O" then rotates, turning into a lip shape, and says "Ha-ha, Oedekerk!".

FX/SFX: The "O" talking.

Music/Sounds: A 3-note synth theme, and the "O"'s high-pitched dialogue (provided by Oedekerk himself) playing over it.

Availability: Extremely rare. It only appeared on the one-off NBC special The O Show (a.k.a. steve.oedekerk.com).

Editor's Note: The O talking may creep some out, but the music is pretty peaceful.

2nd Logo (December 1997?-August 4, 2006)

Nicknames: "The Purple O", "Still O", "The Big O II"

Logo: On a white background, a purple "O" is seen on the center, which is surrounded by "entertainment" underneath.

Variants:

  • Sometimes the background is black, or the logo is a bit smaller.
  • On Santa vs. the Snowman 3D, the logo is on a white oval and shines as it slowly zooms in.

FX/SFX: The logo fading in and out; the zoom-in and shining in the 2nd variant.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the movie.

Availability: Rare. Seen at the end of Barnyard and Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Also seen at the start of Santa vs. the Snowman 3D, which was originally made as a television special in December 1997 and later presented in IMAX 3D theaters during the 2002-2006 holiday seasons.

Editor's Note: This is much simpler than the next logo, with a more minimalistically designed "O".

3rd Logo (September 10, 1998-November 24, 2007)

Nicknames: "The Purple O II", "The Falling O", "CGI O", "Oh!", "O!", "Jell-O", "The Big O III"

Logo: On a black background, a giant, gelatinous purple "O" falls to the center of the screen. As it jiggles, "Entertainment" fades in below it in a wipe-in effect.

Variant: On Thumbs!, "WWW.OEDEKERK.COM" appears below the logo.

FX/SFX: The "O" falling and "Entertainment" appearing. Nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: A low-pitched voice saying "O!" with a dreamy synth tune.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • On the Jimmy Neutron pilot "Runaway Rocketboy", the synth theme is different and the "O!" voiceover is delayed for a fraction of a second.
  • Thumb Wars has the closing theme, with the voice saying "O!" intact.
  • On the Thumb Wars 1999 VHS at the beginning of the tape, the logo is silent with the "O!" voiceover intact.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on all episodes of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. It also appeared on said show's "Runaway Rocketboy" pilot. It also appeared on the Thumbs! series, such as Thumb Wars, and split-screen airings of Back at the Barnyard when it premiered up to the episode "The Barnyard Games". It appears in the bottom left corner of the screen whenever Back at the Barnyard is still rerun on Nicktoons in place of the Omation logo.

Editor's Note: This logo is best known for appearing in Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius in conjunction with DNA Productions, and is a favorite among fans of the show. However, the darkness and sudden voice might scare a few.

4th Logo (1999-2002)

Nicknames: "Silent O", "20s O", "The Big O IV"

Logo: In black and white, a thumb depicted as a human is sitting on a chair while winding a camera with stacks of film reels next to it in a front of a blackbackground. As he does, the camera projects to reveal the O Entertainment logo (the same one as the first) while it pans briefly.

FX/SFX: The thumb winding the camera, the panning, and the logo appearing.

Music/Sounds: A silent film-style piano piece, as well as the sound of the camera being wound.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen at the beginning of the Thumbs! series, excluding Thumb Wars.

Editor's Note: This is a hilarious logo.
