Nicknames: "Talking O", "Ha-ha Oedekerk!", "The Big O"
Logo: On a black background, 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!" (provided by Oedekerk himself).
FX/SFX: The "O" talking.
Music/Sounds: A 3-note synth theme, and the "O"'s dialogue playing over it.
Availability: Extremely rare. It only appeared on the one-off NBC special The O Show (a.k.a. steve.oedekerk.com), and the 1997 ABC special Santa vs. the Snowman.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (September 10, 1998-November 24, 2007)
Nicknames: "The Purple O II", "The Falling O", "CGI O", "Oh!", "O!", "Jell-O", "The Big O II"
Logo: On a black background, a giant, gelatinous purple "O" fall to the center of the screen. As it jiggles, "Entertainment" fades in below it.
Variant: Sometimes, "WWW.OEDEKERK.COM" appears below the logo.
FX/SFX: The "O" falling and "Entertainment" appearing. Nice CGI.
Music/Sounds: A low-pitched voice says "O!", with either a dreamy synth tune or, on Thumb Wars, the closing theme.
Music/Sounds Variant: On the Jimmy Neutron pilot "Runaway Rocketboy", the synth theme is different and the "O!" voiceover is delayed.
Availability: 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 currently appears on Nicktoons reruns of Back at the Barnyard, where it appears in the bottom left corner of the screen, like the credits, 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.
3rd Logo (1999-2002)
Nicknames: "Silent O", "20s O", "The Big O III"
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 the camera makes when being winded.
Availability: Seen at the beginning of the Thumbs! series, excluding Thumb Wars.
Editor's Note: TBA.
