Background
OutFit7 (also capitalized as Outfit7 or spaced out as Out Fit 7, or O7 for short) is a Slovenian multinational development company founded in July 2009 and headquartered in Ljubljana. They are best known for their media franchise Talking Tom and Friends. Their apps have been downloaded over 15 billion times. In January 2017, it was acquired by United Luck Consortium and then sold to Zhejiang Jinke for over US$1 billion.
Outfit7 is derived from the word "outfit", which likely describes their apps in a way that they would "fit" their users, leading to their eventual slogan "Apps that fit you"[1], and the number 7, which is likely the number of people involved in the company's founding, specifically Samo Login (the company's founder) and six friends with whom both Samo and Iza Sia Login invested $250,000 (€180,000) to set up an office where they will develop apps.[2]

Logo: In a white environment, we see the piece of white cloth with Tom next to it, he blinks and starts to take it off quickly, revealing the 2011 OutFit7 logo, which is glowing. While a pink-peach spotlight shines on the logo, the glow on it dies down. Tom then rests on the O of the logo, and then "created by" types in above the logo.
Variants:
- Closing "Created by" variant: We see the company name with "created by" above the right part, with Tom resting on the O and checking his right paw while the spotlight still shines on it, he suddenly blinks and notices the camera, then he giggles and waves his right paw.
- Opening "Loved by" variant: Just like the opening variant, except there's no spotlight and "created by" reads "loved by" instead.
- Closing "Loved by" variant: Just like the closing variant, except there's no spotlight and "created by" reads "loved by" instead.
- Sometimes, the Arx Anima logo is seen with this logo.
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds:
- Opening "Created by" variant: A blip-like "eye blinking" sound, a sound of the Tom gasping, a swoosh followed by the "ta-da" fanfare that sounds like the last note of the 20th Century Fox fanfare combined with the windchime sound, Tom yelling "Woo-hoo!", a boing sound when Tom puts his left paw on the O, and finally a typewriter sound when "created by" or "loved by" types in.
- Opening "Loved by" variant: Same as the "Created by" variant, except without the windchime sound.
- Closing variant: Tom saying "Mmm...", a blip-like "eye-blinking" sound followed by Tom gasping and giggling.
