The Hatchery LLC

Logo: On a black background, we see a frame containing a backdrop of clouds moving, and the words "THE HATCHERY" being displayed in the top-center in big, bold and black text, with a small "LLC." next to the "Y". At the bottom of the frame is an egg that rolls twice before hitting the left side of the frame, cracking it a bit. It then rolls 3 more times to an upright position, where a light glows from inside the crack afterwards.

Variant: A still variant exists.

FX/SFX: The egg rolling, the clouds moving hastily in the background, and the egg admitting a light from inside the egg.

Music/Sounds: A "CRACK" and rolling sounds, followed by a male audience contently going "Ahhh!". Sometimes it's silent.

Music/Sounds Variant: On The Zula Patrol, the music from the Gotham Entertainment logo is heard. Qubo airing use the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on Dan Vs., Young Blades and R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series, as well as R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It. Originally first appeared on the short-lived PAX game show Balderdash and the first season of The Zula Patrol.
