Background
Pierrot Co., Ltd. (株式会社ぴえろ), previously known as Studio Pierrot Co., Ltd. (株式会社スタジオぴえろ or Studioぴえろ) until 2004 is a Japanese animation studio established in May 1979 by former Tatsunoko Production animator and director Yuji Nunokawa. Its headquarters are located in Mitaka, Tokyo. In 2004, the studio rebranded to its current name and began using the Studio Pierrot name for its animation studio facilities. In 2024, the second Studio Pierrot was rebranded to Pierrot Films. In 2008, Pierrot purchased Studio Kikan and renamed it to Studio Pierrot+ until 2017, when it was renamed to Studio Signpost.
Some of Pierrot's most popular works include Urusei Yatsura, Creamy Mami, Yu Yu Hakusho, Fushigi Yugi, Naruto, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul among others.
The studio was named after the famous French clown Pierrot. Nunokawa chose the name in honor of a circus troupe he saw as a child.
Animated Logos
1st Logo (1985-1987)
Visuals: On a navy-blue gradient background, the abstract "Clown face" emblem in a shiny silver color stretches in horizontally. From underneath, "funnyface" with a black shadow zooms in.
Trivia:
- The "Clown face" emblem also appeared in animated form on Majokko club: yoningumi A-kuukan karano alien X, when it appeared as "The Light" with the emblem being voiced by Sukekiyo Kameyama.
- A special 45th anniversary video in 2024 features the Clown face logo alongside the old Pierrot logo.
Technique: Analog computer animation.
Audio: Silent.
Availability: Seen on video releases of Pierrot's in-house productions as well as the OVAs Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel: Lovely Serenade, Appare Chibita no Oni-suji Zansu and Majokko club: yoningumi A-kuukan karano alien X.
2nd Logo (August 6, 2005-August 7, 2015)
Visuals: On a black background, there is the text "ぴえろism" ("Pierrotism", Pierrot's motto from that time) in a copper-like font. Then, two waterdrops ripple as the symbol briefly shines. Finally, the text "Pierrot Picture Studio" in blue, writes in underneath.
Variants:
- On the first three Bleach movies, "ぴえろism" is rewritten as "ぴえろSpirit" ("PierrotSpirit"). The text below is now colored in yellow.
- From 2009 to 2012, the text "studioぴえろ" replaces "ぴえろism". Also, the color of "Pierrot Picture Studio" is changed to pink.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A three-note piano jingle.
