Background

Spin The Bottle Inc. is a production company famous for Pop-Up Video, founded by Tad Low in 1995.

1st Logo (October 27, 1996-1997)

Expansion depth limit exceeded

Logo: On an {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|orange}} background with a {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|green}} circle in the middle, we see a {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|green}} bottle with a blank label on it. A hand comes out and gives it a spin. After it's done spinning, "SPin THe BOTTLe" rotates onto the label. The URL "www.spinthebottle.com" is seen below in a {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|blue}} rectangle.

Technique: The label animation, mostly live action.

Music/Sounds: A "woo-woo-woo-wo" like sound as the bottle spins.

Availability: Can be seen on early episodes of Pop-Up Video.

2nd Logo (June 25, 1997-August 8, 2002)

Expansion depth limit exceeded

Logo: On a rotating {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|green}}-black spiral background, we see a bottle with bubbles and some text in it. A hand is on top of the bottle. The hand gives it an spin. After it's done spinning, we see "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|orange|SPIN THE BOTTLE INC}}" in a '60s era font. It waves once. The URL "www.spinthebottle.com" fades in on the bottom right corner.

Variants:

  • A more common version has the hand part almost cut out, the bubbles are black, and the text keeps waving.
  • In 1999, the words "Want more?" appear in one of Pop-Up VideoExpansion depth limit exceeded's bubbles over the bottle. The URL is also in a bubble and does not have "www".
  • On Pop-Up Quiz, the bubbles are {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|green}} and {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|red}} respectively, and the font is different.

Technique: Live-action and 2D CGI.

Music/Sounds: An ominous tune, with a "whoosh" when the bottle spins. In 1999, the "popping" sound from Pop-Up Video was added when the bubbles appear; Pop-Up Quiz replaces the second "pop" with a bell.

Availability: Can be seen on most Pop-Up Video episodes, as well as Pop-Up Quiz.
