Pipeline Studios

Background

Pipeline Studios is a Canadian studio that produces and animates TV series, based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

(June 1, 2013-)

Logo: In the credits of a show, we see a shiny light blue circle with a black outline inside it. Inside the circle are some dark blue curves. Below this is the stacked text "Pipeline Studios" in black.

Variants:

Still/in-credit:

• Sometimes, the text is white.
• There's a white text variant where the word are next to each other instead of stacked.
• There is also a version where the black outline is white instead.
• There is a version of the white outline variant where the circle is bigger and the text is smaller, and it sits with the Shoe Ink logo.
• A version exists where the circle is the same shade of light blue as the outline, the curves are black instead of dark blue and the text (which is now on the left and right sides of the circle) is white with black outlines.

Animated:

• On a black background, we fade in to the curves forming on the circle. The company's name then fades in below in white. The version of the logo here is the one from the 4th still/in-credit version, except the text is stacked and doesn’t have an outline.
• On a black background, a light blue squid swims up from the bottom left side of the screen to the top middle area and swims in circles twice. At the same time, a circle in the same color as the squid appears and zooms in. The squid then swims away and releases white ink which goes inside the circle and forms the curves and outline. The company's name then appears below in white.

FX/SFX: None for the still versions. The logo forming and the text fading in for the first animated version. The squid swimming and releasing ink, the circle zooming in and the curves, outline and text forming for the second animated version.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Music/Sounds Variants: TBA

Availability: Common. Appears on Sunny Day. The white text variant appears on Fangbone!, and the white outline version can be found on Nina's World. The variant with a bigger circle is seen on 2020 episodes Elinor Wonders Why, however, starting with the March 1, 2021 episodes, it will have Temple Street Productions instead. The white text variant with the words next to each other appears on Legend Quest: Masters of Myth. The black curves version was seen on Sidekick and Oh No! It's an Alien Invasion. The animated versions can be seen on some of the company's videos on Vimeo.
