Tom Is Awesome

Background

This is the vanity card of Robot Chicken writer Tom Root.

Logo (September 27, 2009-December 10, 2021)

Visuals: On a black background, we see pixel art in a very light shade of blue of a man holding a basketball next to a basketball hoop, similar to an Atari 2600 game. The man dribbles the ball twice and throws the ball into the hoop, which misses after it bounces off the edge. The ball stops as the words "TOM IS AWESOME", also in a pixel font, appear below.

Variants:

On Season 1 of Crossing Swords, the logo is next to the Buddy Systems logo.
On season 2 of the aforementioned series, the company name is still. Pixels fall, transitioning to the Buddy Systems logo.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Two beeps when the ball is dribbled, followed by two more disapproving beeps and a crowd cheering when the ball misses.

Availability: First seen on Titan Maximum, and later seen on Crossing Swords on Hulu. It does not appear on season 6 of Robot Chicken and SuperMansion, despite Root being involved.
