Background
Spartina Productions is Stephen Colbert's company. While they were founded in 1999, they didn't use a logo until 2005.
Logo (October 17, 2005-)
Visuals: On a white background with black drawings, a poorly drawn crane is shown with some randomly drawn lines on either side, and a pond is shown below. A fish jumps out of the pond to the left of the crane, and then proceeds to eat the crane before falling back into the pond. The screen then cuts to a black background with the white text "SPARTINA".
Trivia: This logo was animated by J.J. Sedelmaier. Colbert personally requested Sedelmaier to create the logo.
Variant: In its early days, the text at the end read "SPA171MA", which is leet for "Spaitima".
Technique: Hand-drawn animation.
Audio: Nature sounds, accompanied by a gobbling sound as the fish eats the crane and a splash sound when the fish goes back underwater.
Audio Variant: On the April 1, 2024 episode of After Midnight, the logo is silent.
Availability: It was first seen on The Colbert Report and later appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (an exception being the August 22, 2024 episode, where the logo does not appear, but the gobbling sound is still heard), A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!, Our Cartoon President, Tooning Out the News, Hell of A Week with Charlamagne tha God, Fairview, the failed pilot Old News with Opus Moreschi, and After Midnight.
