Background

Studio 100 was founded in 1996 as a small TV production company by Gert Verhulst and Hans Bourlon. In 1998, Studio 100 began releasing titles on video under PolyGram Video until the company was sold to Seagram's and shifted over to Universal. In 2000, Studio 100 signed a deal with Universal Studios Home Video to release its titles on home video until 2006, when Studio 100 created its own home entertainment branch to release its titles in the Netherlands and Belgium. Studio 100 purchased EM.Entertainment, the entertainment content division of EM.TV (including the rights to the Zuiyo Enterprise and Yoram Gross libraries) in 2008. In 2017, Studio 100 acquired a majority stake in m4e (Made For Entertainment) AG which included the libraries of Telescreen BV and TV-Loonland AG. In 2020, Studio 100 acquired the remaining shares in m4e that it didn't own.

The company has produced and distributed many animated shows such as Maya the Bee, Heidi, and Vic the Viking, live action series, including Plop the Gnome, Mega Mindy, and Bumba, and also manages music artists such as the girl group K3 among others.

1st Logo (1997-2007)

Visuals: In an ocean with a sunrise above it, there are 9 lights moving. They rise out of the water as the sun becomes visible, forming the text "STuDIO" (in a serif font). As the camera continues panning upwards, the sun stretches into an oval, before becoming "100" (in a paintbrush font) underneath "STuDIO", as the sunrise background turns to clouds. The logo stops panning, and the ocean is no longer visible.

Variants:

On video releases, the text "Video" is written on the bottom.
There's a 16:9 zoomed version of the logo.
A real 16:9 widescreen variant also exists.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A cheery synth tune composed by Johan Vanden Eede, which is actually the Samson & Gert Caravanshow end theme.

Availability: It appears on home media releases of all Studio 100 programs. One of its final appearences was on the Mega Mindy DVD "De Snorrenbende/Het Olijf-Misdrijf" released in early 2007.

2nd Logo (2006-)

Visuals: The screen pans up through the clouds to see a streak of light flying. As the camera follows it through the sky, the clouds it passes form to resemble characters from Studio 100: the titular character from Bumba, a comic version of Samson from Samson & Gert, the hat of the character Plop the Gnome, and a cartoon version of Pirate Pete. Afterwards, it forms the logo, which is "STUDIO100" in a Bank Gothic MD BT font, with the light forming a yellow curved line with stars at its end above it.

Variants:

A short version exists.
Another variant used for international properties, has enhanced cloud effects and different characters: the titular character from Vic the Viking, a different comic version of Samson from Samson & Gert, the titular character from Maya the Bee, the studio's version of the literary character Heidi, and a different cartoon version of Pirate Pete. The final logo is more 3D-ish, and is very close on a cloudy sky background.
On both Legend of Enyo and Zigby, the print logo is used on a white background with a "Distributed by" byline above it. Here, the text is colored gray and green. The text "MEDIA" is below. A brighter version of this variant also exists.
An in-credit version exists.
On Maya the Bee, the Studio 100 Media logo is seen still on a black background, with the text "DISTRIBUTED BY" above. The background then fades to white, both the "DISTRIBUTED BY" and "MEDIA" texts disappear, and the Studio 100 logo changes colors from green and white, to red and orange.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An orchestral rendition of "Toveren" by K3, played by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Audio Variants:

Sometimes, the end theme plays over or none.
In other cases, the theme can be low-pitched.
In a few cases, there's a re-arranged version of the theme, which is abridged on the short version.

Availability:

The in-credit version appears on series such as Big & Small, Florrie's Dragons, Kerwhizz, and also at the end of Blinky Bill the Movie.
Also used as a de-facto home video logo since 2007.
This is also seen on the 2012 Maya the Bee reboot, Zigby, The Legend of Enyo, and Vic the Viking, among others.

3rd Logo (September 6, 2010-2016)

Visuals: Superimposed on the ending credits of a show, there are two tri-dimensional rectangles, a long red one containing the owrd "STUDIO" and a shorter yellow one next to it with "100". All the text is white and in the same font as before..

Variant: A black background variant exists.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Appears on House of Anubis (including its American adaptation) and season 3 of Big & Small, among others.

4th Logo (2016-)

Visuals: In the credits of a show, there is a red outline around the text "studio100". All of the text is in white except the "o" and tittle of the "i", which are yellow.

Trivia: This logo is themed after Junior's final logo from 2015 to 2022.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Appears on House of Anubis and some shows.
