Dream logos

This is my sandbox, aka where all of my Dream Logos go. As I said on my main page, I have been thinking up stuff to add to the gargantuan library of movies, shows, and music all owned by the multi-trillion dollar conglomerate and movie studio, Robun Entertainment.

Some things to know about my logos:

• I am not an expert at drawing logos on software, so this page will be imageless (even if it looks really interesting from your perspective). I don't want to make messes on MS Paint, PowerPoint, or any form of drawing software so that they will not come out looking hideous.
• This company and the proceeding ones are most definitely not real. It is entirely made up and stored in my brain for over 3 years, and I've been waiting a long time to express the logos' looks on this wiki (I got the idea from a ripoff CLG Wiki, entitled Your Dream Logos with different page parts). Think of Marvel's What If.. but with dream logos instead of superheroes (sorry about the plagiarization, AlmightyKingPrawn). I think of this as part of an alternate Earth in my brain.
• Due to me being completely used to the term "Editor's Note", I will say that instead of "Legacy".
• I will put "Author's Note" underneath "Editor's Note" at times to show my thinking behind the logo and how I thought up the idea of it.
• I'm not the best at coming up with original phrases, so you might read some phrases explaining logos that sound kind of familiar (if you revert back to other pages).
• One more time. This is all fake. Do not ever place it on the wiki or make a page dedicated to dream logos. I want to stick with AVID's rules as much as I can.

Robun Brothers Theatres

Background

In 1973, Robun Brothers Pictures executives (Martin Freshcher, Damian Kaythi Saatchi, Howp Towen, and Javii Nomboyer) had a talk with theater entrepreneurs the Durwood brothers and David Dambuel to acquire their run-down theaters so they can expand the business to theater development. October 24, 1974, was the opening day of the first Robun Brothers Theater in Los Angeles, California. After exceeding over $30 million in currency and box office transfers from customers and deals of venue, the chain began worldwide expansion.

After growth in revenue starting in 1983, the company experienced major growth in revenue and eventually expanded locations to across the world. The first non-USA theater chain to open was the Robun Brothers Theater in Mexico City in 1984. In 1985, the company opened its first multiplex cinema chains overseas, the 12-screen multiplex theatre in London, United Kingdom and the 10-screen multiplex in The Point, Milton Keynes, both in the United Kingdom. During that year, they opened the first non-English speaking chains, the Robun Brothers Theater Madrid 10 in Madrid, Spain, and the Robun Brothers Theater Louvre 15 in Paris, France. They opened additional sites in those countries such as the Robun Brothers Theater Point Bordeaux in Bordeaux, France, Robun Brothers Theater La-Part-Dieu 8 in Lyon, France, and the Robun Brothers Theater Barcelona 12 in Barcelona, Spain, all of which have garnered over $500 million in revenue for the main company in total. The first Asian theaters to open are the Robun Brothers Theater Shanghai 15 in Shanghai, China and the Robun Brothers Theater Tokyo 15 in Tokyo, Japan in August. The first Australian theaters to open are the Robun Brothers Theater Canberra 20, the Robun Brothers Theater Gold Coast 25, and the Robun Brothers Theater Sydney 23, all of which opened in October of 1985.

In July 1987, the company opened its first megaplex theater (also the first megaplex theater in the world; and would eventually become their most famous theater), the Robun Brothers Theater Times Square 35 in New York City, New York. The megaplex theater, with 35 screens and with each auditorium sitting over 25,000 people, was opened by Kineopolis in association with Marquee Holdings and EAK Company. During its grand opening, it drew in approximately 1,594,000 moviegoers and residents in just its first hour, and after the first movie showing, garnered nearly $550,000.

After Sony's release of the SDDS sound system in 1993, the company signed a contract to employ its auditoriums with the technology. Two years later in 1995, the company signed numerous deals with other companies. During that year, Robun Brothers Theaters signed a deal with IMAX to employ its theaters with IMAX technology. Two years later, they struck a deal with Lucasfilm to employ some auditoriums with the THX technology. The deal was closed in 2006 due to complaints about the sound scaring children, but was reverted in 2023 for their THX Ultimate Cinema franchises. Two years later, they struck another deal with Dolby Laboratories to employ some auditoriums with Dolby sound systems. In 2009, they struck a final deal with PRIME, a movie/home theater equipment manufacturing company to employ its theaters with their finest sound equipment. Some theaters come equipped with an anaglyphic RealD 3D technology for some movie showings, as well as the BigD screens in some other ones. Some theaters in Arkansas and Alabama are certified by Cinedigm, meaning that all visuals are projected with their technology. After SDDS began to be phased out in 2008, the company signed another deal with Columbus-based Westinberg Media Systems to employ the theaters with their Westinberg sound systems, although SDDS-equipped theaters still survived until October 2009. In 2010, the chain launched a membership club called RB Theatres Stubs, which attracted a total of 467 million people. The next year, they upgraded themselves to an S-Tier division, where you get free concessions, showings, and a point counter that will unlock membership rewards if you watch enough movies every week, as well as free access to all of the theater chain's subsidiarial divisions. On December 30, 2022, the chain signed another deal with THX to employ the THX certification system to theaters. Today, the chain was ranked highest of all US cinema chains (above AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas, which they all merged with Cinemark Theatres to form Fathom Events in 2005 and with Callahan Cinemas and Wall Street Cinemas (both theater chains were acquired by the company in 2011 and 2013) to form Timely Cinema Corporation in 2014), attracts 90 million customers per day, and has exceeded over $67 billion for the main company since 1982. Following the rebrand to Robun Theatres in 2024, multiple of their asset names changed (such as the stubs membership being renamed to "Robun Theatres Stubs").

C1A1 Animation

Background

C1A1 Animation (stylized as C¹A¹; a promonym for "See (C) One (1) Animate (A) One (1)"; originally called C1A1 Entertainment from 1979 to 1981 and C1A1 Animation Studios from 1981 to 2000) is an American flagship animation studio and graphic design manufacturing plot (through its division C1A1 Graphical) established in 1979 as a division of Robun Brothers Pictures by ex-Robun Brothers Animation Studios executives Ralph Bakshi, Camen Christian Jr., Don Landers, Evan Cringstam and Ray Eljovitz and backed by George Dunning in an attempt to popularize the adult animated film indsutry after the successes of Bakshi's Fritz the Cat and Heavy Traffic, Landers' short subject Arrow, and Eljovitz's "X"-rated short film Hit List. Although the company initially only made shorts created or imported from many creators during its initial run, the widespread success of the X-rated Adam & Eve led the studio to expand to full feature-length productions with the financial backing of Robun Brothers.

Unlike Robun Brothers Animation Studios, a sister animation company and subsidiary of the former company, C1A1 mainly specializes in releasing animated films appealing to teen and adult audiences, notably films that are rated PG-13, R, or (very rarely) NC-17 by the MPAA. The company is recognized for its critically-acclaimed and box office hits and franchises such as The Raiders, Living Plants, Relax, 10.5, Harold, Adam and Eve, The Comedy Zone, Crylandia, The Music Fiends, The Heavy-Termed Girl, Ice and Speed, Hunted, Republican, The Last Train, and the Hellzaverse, with their most popular short films/featurettes being Joseph Gameria's Annapolis films, Evolution of Art, The Gaslight District (1993), CliffSide, Bō Tanh, Neon Eyes, Crimson Lake, Strand, Doppelgänger, and The Cube, TV shows such as Clones, Detration (spinoff), Laney and Christine (spinoffs), The World, Ramshackle, Paradise, Bright Weather, They, Fragments of Us, Meta Runners, Class of '09, Halifax, Suction Cup Man and Gimelt (spinoff). The company has also released over 250 AMVs since its founding, 23 television shows, 33 short films/featurettes, and 51 feature-length films (31 released under Robun Pictures (previously Robun Brothers Pictures) and 20 released under the Robun Productions banner and released through either 20th Century Studios (previously 20th Century Fox), Warner Bros. Pictures or New Line Cinema (save for The Gaslight District, which was distributed through Geffen Pictures), Sony Pictures Releasing(through TriStar, Triumph Films or Columbia Pictures) and Universal Pictures, with their most recent project being Battle, co-produced with over 50 companies and domestic/international distributors, released on July 20, 2025. Upcoming films from the studio include Windraker, One Day In a Meadow, a Living Plants spin-off sequel titled Roots, a Crylandia spin-off, and upcoming TV shows In Color and the Heavy-Termed Girl spinoff Imp. Today, with 27 of their films grossing over $1 billion and six of them achieveing 100% scores on Rotten Tomatoes, C1A1 is frequently ranked as one of the greatest animation studios of all time (with Pixar (before the closure of its owner The Walt Disney Company where it became independent), Studio Ghibli, Studio Ponoc, Walt Disney Animation Studios (before the company's termination in 2023), DreamWorks Animation, Laika and Robun Brothers Animation Studios).

Pencil Ventures

NOTE: The Ross Bollinger I mention here is not affiliated with the Ross Bollinger who makes the Pencilmation web series, but rather a renowned deceased animator who has worked on other iconic franchises from the 1940s to the mid 1990s, where his tragic death took place. Once again, this exists in my world and not ours.

Background

Pencil Ventures is an American animation studio founded by renowned animator Ross Bollinger and owned by the Bollinger Estate since his death on February 17, 1994. The studio has been a subsidiary of the Robun Brothers Studios since 1996, and is the company's third flagship animation studio alongside Robun Brothers Animation Studios and C1A1 Animation. Nearly all of the studio's content (except for the Squishville (also known as Squishmallows) and the Backyard Kids franchises, which are owned by Universal Studios), are owned by a minority stake between Robun Brothers Inc. and Paramount Pictures. The studio is best known for the Pencilmation, Squishville, Elimination!, 21st Street, Bluey and Rosy, Secrets of the Nile and the Backyard Kids franchises.

Ross Bollinger founded the studio while working for United Productions of America, where he created and animated a short film about a sketch drawing having constant quarrels with a pencil, released in 1943 as The Bollinger Production House. His other released projects were then compiled into a series known as Pencilmation, where he continued to work on episodes of the series ever since. In 1948, the company was renamed to The Bollinger Productions Co. Due to the series' massive success in viewership, Bollinger released another exclusive project, Bluey and Rosy in 1958 for theater start times and intermissions for Robun Brothers Pictures films. In 1963, the company was officially renamed to Pencil Ventures. Pencil Ventures was then inherited by several other animators of the time including Gerald Voịće, Dan Kiels and John Hubley in 1963, where they frequently collaborated to make the 21st Street and Elimination! franchises throughout the 1960s and 1970s, in which animators from Robun Brothers Pictures, such as Gnidnow Kilhocgore and Jisso Kaosu, assisted and loaned them.

After the Robun Brothers Studios renamed itself to Robun/Brendans Corporation in 1979, Pencil Ventures began to shift and cut their ties with the company altogether after Bollinger decided to eventually stop assisting other companies on his works. The company's independently-made projects, such as the series The Adventures of the Backyard Kids, unfortunately, did not financially recover as much as Bollinger had hoped, leading them to start contracting other companies to support their projects. Bollinger's daughter, Eleanor, created the franchise Squishville with toymaker Jonathan Kelly in 1984, which became a tremendous success. Until then, Bollinger inherited the intellectual property with Universal Pictures supporting the franchise.

After Ross Bollinger's death from lung cancer occurred on February 17, 1994, his sons Bruce and Joseph became chief executives of the company and formed the Bollinger Estate, where Bollinger's assitants and family members contributed their works to the institute and publicly ran the companies he owned. After Robun Brothers Entertainment took notice, they signed a deal with the company to intellectually acquire the estate so that they can loan the company and pay respects to the death of the company's founder. On July 29, 1996, Robun Brothers Entertainment acquired the company for $389 million, thus marking it their third flagship studio to specialize in animation. In 2006, Paramount Pictures announced a deal between the Robun Brothers Companies and the Bollinger estate to wholly distribute some of the company's properties after they had worked with CBS to hold television rights to their programs from the 1960s to the 1990s. Pencil Ventures' name comes from the first work from Ross Bollinger, Pencilmation, which originally ran from 1943 to 1982, but executives revived the series to air publicly on television since 1984.

5th Logo (June 28, 1980-March 12, 1994)

Visuals: Over a black background, thrte is a hand-drawn graphic of a pencil (over a top view) in bright gold before it dims to a soft blue as six blue shining lights close in on the graphite tip of the pencil. The pencil is also in front of a cut-out of the United States country. Once they disappear, several lines and bolts flicker on and off (a la RKO Pictures) of the tip as the text "Pencil" in script and "VENTURES" in a spaced-out Poppins pop in in line with the Morse Code letter. The text "the company of Ross Bollinger" in Figtree fades in below. The tip continues to emit the lines and bolts until the logo ends or cuts to the next one.

Bylines:

• June 28, 1980-September 27, 1981: "The company of Ross Bollinger" in a white Figtree, along with "and D&B Holdings Ltd." below that in a smaller size.
• September 30, 1981-March 29, 1984: "The company of Ross Bollinger" by itself.
  • On various old HBO Family airings of 21st Street (1984-1989) from 1997-1998, the byline is in a slight peach tint.
• April 2, 1984-July 18, 1994: "The company of Ross Bollinger" as normal and "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." below that, both in white.
  • Sometimes, on various shows such as The All-New Umie, The Third Kid, Woops! (1984), Colored America, The Teen Angels (1981-1982), the 1984 Lucky Ones reboot, and the obscure And Then.. the "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." text would be a very pale parchment yellow, possibly due to deterioration.
  • On syndicated prints of the shows Lands Of The Lost and The Old Peeling Ball, the logo is darker, making the "Pencil VENTURES" and "the company of Ross Bollinger" text moccasin colored and the "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." text sandy brown.
  • On a syndicated print of Elimination! on CBS on March 11, 1994, the whites on the text are tinted in khaki.
• April 27-July 18, 1994: The text "A DIVISION OF THE BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." in Arial is below.
• Most post-1984 re-runs of shows made when owned by D&B Holdings Co. have the version's byline blacked out for legal reasons.

Variants:

• An extended version of this logo exists, usually seen on theatrical films. The sequence starts with a space background with galaxies for a couple of seconds before a bright star shines in the middle, emitting several rays and rotating before the light takes up the whole screen. Then the light fades out as the logo plays as normal, albeit with the pencil zooming in slightly and animating slower and as copyright info fades in on the bottom-right corner. At the beginning of the logo, you can see that the stars align and form the United States map as the star appears.

Audio Variants:

• The theatrical version starts with a low wind noise for the space background. It then culminates and morphs into four ascending analaog synth chords which fade out as the logo appears, followed by Morse Code beeps that spell "Pencil Ventures", which play twice.
• On two reported 1997 HBO Family airings of the film Nile: Two Whole Men, the Morse Code beeps play with a low pitch-set tone due to a mistake with the print.

Fine Arts Pictures

Background

Fine Arts Pictures was founded in 1982 by Robun Brothers Entertainment employees Maximof Andreou, Maelle R. Pieref, Peter Croppe, George Rumlow, Steve Ragge, and Josephin Lauffe as the arts-house and independent division of the company, whose aspect would become Pnevoma Pictures in 1991.

1st Logo (November 7, 1983-September 19, 1990)

Visuals: Several lights flash over a black background, which transforms into a night sky with mountains below. The sky becomes lighter and turns into sunrise before the landscape transforms into a slightly-faded video of large waves crashing in the distance. When the nearest wave crashes, a square forms and traces of the wave's flying water flash, forming a thin abstract "FA"-esque shape (an italicized "F" stylized like the ESPN logo with a similarly styled but normal "A" conjoined with it), both graphics in white. The background fades out, leaving the logo over a black background, where the text "F I N E A R T S" and "P I C T U R E S" (both in the Flatiron ITC font) fade in on top of and below the symbol. The text "a division of Robun PICTURES" ("Robun" and its Pnevoma graphic are intact while "PICTURES" is in Kabel Semibold) fades in after that.

Variants: TBA.

Technique: Computer effects combined with live-action.

Audio: Usually none or the opening theme, but two known tracks can be spotted:

• 1983-1985: Faint explosions are heard first for the lights, followed by sounds of air, wind, and crickets and cicadas, and then a recording of waves crashing. After that, silence
• 1985-1990: A warm synthesized music piece which repeats and slowly fades out, combined with slightly muffled versions of the sound effects. This is actually a stock music piece known as "Music - Billboard #2" from the Sound Ideas Series 1000 sound library, which is also used on the Hanna-Barbera Poland, Charter Entertainment, the 1983 Tokyo Movie Shinsha, Evrika-Film, My Way Film Company and Golden Entertainment Co. Ltd. logos, and is also heard in the game Worms: Armageddon as a victory fanfare.

Audio Variants:

• An early version of the second fanfare exists where the sound effects are absent.
• Sometimes, the audio will sound slightly detuned.

Availability:

• Seen and retained on all of the company's output, with the most famous example being Ridgeline (the first film to use this logo).
• The first audio variant can be seen on The Groups, Roadrunner and early prints of Sucker Punch, as well as early VHS releases of The Same Age.
• The second audio variant was used far more often, with it being heard on films like The Same Age, Homebound Train, The Stained Angel, Mirage, Take Me, You Homeless, New Jersey, and The Edge, as well as syndicated prints of Ridgeline and Acid Trip, using updated prints.
  • For some reason, on the pre-cert Robun Home Video VHS releases of Mirage, the logo uses the first audio variant instead, most likely due to a mistake with the print.

D&L Distribution

Background

D&L Distribution was a joint venture between Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (later and now Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) and Lionsgate Films to handle distribution of Buena Vista or Lionsgate material in both the Canadian regions, lesser Commonwealth nations and Australasian colonies. It was headquartered at Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (the same headquarters as Lionsgate), and was mostly a theatrical and physical media distributor in Canada and Australia. In the Commonwealth nations, it was a digital media distributor and physical media identifier for film releases. It was formed in 2006 when Disney opted to extend their filming locations and distribution arms to Canada for more film production and sales to enforce their division Buena Vista International, only for then-Lionsgate CFO Frank Giustra to settle a deal between Disney to finance Lionsgate Films' catalog and settle abred their creative distinction. The unit grew in 2008 when they agreed to distribute the library of Alta Pictures, a mini-major distribution company founded by Lionsgate executive Danna Brack after being fired from the company in 2004, leading them to acquire and distribute other catalogues and become recognized for ownership of companies as Artisan Entertainment, Trimark Pictures and Summit Entertainment, producing and distributing franchises like Saw, The Dead Speak, Blair Witch, Left Lane, and The Terminator, and later John Wick, The Expendables and Red, and for housing the rights of Pixar (after Disney's acquisition of the company in 2006, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Touchstone Pictures films in the alotted regions, generating both Lionsgate and Disney revenue shares, leading them to become one of the largest coalitious international distributors throughout the 2000s.

By around 2018, however the company hit severe financial troubles and loss of support after several executives of the company were accused of sexual harassment, spying, labor enforcement, and anti-political stature and were forced to leave the company, thus bringing down staff and rendering them unable to handle the company's massive demands. Also, financial failures of the distributed output brought the company itself down after Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures' behalf spun off into simply Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, serving all three of D&L's intended regions and leaving simply Lionsgate and several Disney executives as staff for releasing films such as The Grand Man, which became a massive financial flop losing the company an estimated $299 million. In 2020, D&L was also forced to reorganize their entire unit due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic preventing staff from working, and the unit had even tried adapting their output as Disney+ Originals, but due to a lack of interest, D&L closed altogether in 2021 and their output was resent back to Lionsgate, which became a full distribution unit itself by that point. Most of D&L's original output now rests in Lionsgate's ownership while all Disney-distributed releases went back to the Walt Disney Company through Buena Vista International in those regions.

Most of their output is distributed by either Sony Pictures Releasing (through either Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures or Stage 6 Films), Universal Pictures, Focus Features, or Robun Pictures.

1st Logo (September 19, 1991-October 17, 1994)

Visuals: On a black background with the text "VIRAGE FILMS" in a white Garamond Condensed font, there is a large "M" like shape, tinted in tomato sauce red and in what appears to be Minion Black with two serif-diagonal lines jutting out from the stems. The right stem has a blinking white light (similar to a channel trasmitter) separated by a slit. After a couple seconds, the light flashes brightly, coloring it permanent and consuming the rest of the logo (leaving the text) with white.

Variants: TBA.

Technique: TBA.

Audio: Several faint low-toned beeps at 1.1 second delays are heard, followed by a louder lower-tone synth chord that plays throughout the logo's runtime with bass drones. Composed by Alexander Graff.

The Palidrus Company

Background

The Palidrus Company is an American production company founded by the four Palidrus brothers: Mark, Fale, Charles "Chuckie", and Jonah, who are noted for their work on the Robun Brothers films Bargain (1965), Why, Little John? (1967), and Dupe For Two (1971).

1st Logo (March 16, 1981-August 2, 1985)

Visuals: Over a dimly lit black background, several 3D rectangular prisms of different heights rise out of the ground and move away from the camera, which stops as the text "PALIDRUS" in Times New Roman rises out of the ground and starts glowing white as it floats. Meanwhile, a blue-colored line travels around the screen, over the text, and off-screen. As the text nears the center, a lime line appears and travels around the text, forming "The" on top of the "P" and "Company" below the "U" and "S" before disappearing. A red or tomato red line appears from the left like the line before it disappears into the ground. Almost immediately after, it appears again, drawing a stylized "P" below the name.

Trivia: This logo was created on an early XEL workstation manufactured by Xiang, Incorporated to experiment with its technology and models. The Palidrus brother in attendance of the testing, Fale, was appeased by the results and agreed to incorporate them into an animation for his colleagues' company. The loading processes were not easy, taking a total of 3 weeks to render all frames and edit them together. The shapes were simple computer-generated models that the pitchers, Jonah and Fale, thought were satisfying to view when they merged with the logo's base, and the lines were drawn with guides and edited together onto various plane frames, while the text was comprised of simple modeling and guiding. This logo marks the first ever known usage of frame-optical computer-generated imagery.

2nd Logo (November 20, 1985-July 10, 1998)

Visuals: Over a background of bright blue-tinted mountains with a lake surface below, the camera zooms close to the shore as eight neon yellow lights shine brightly in the center. As this happens, a billowing cloudy sky overhead turns from a color scheme of blue to an ominous brown, along with the mountains, which turn bronze. As the camera continues to zoom closer, the lights flash, turning them into the letters of "PALIDRUS" in the same font as the last logo and in golden yellow. Almost immediately after this, the screen flashes white, superimposing the text over the billowing cloud background seen earlier with lightning strikes happening below the text. A bolt forms the "P" shape from the last logo, which makes the background disappear and turn it into a black-blue gradient as the "P" shape also turns fire brick. As this happens, the text "The" and "Company" also fade in at their respective places and the logo stays for a few seconds before fading out.

Trivia: While it may look like CGI at first, this was an entirely live-action logo, with modeling done at propaganda plot Marvel Set Associates (not to be confused with the more recognizable Marvel; now a Magnum Screen Partners plot) in Raleigh, North Carolina. The mountains were made from polyester fiber and several cut straps that was layered on and elevated by large rocks and tinted by a large light overhead. The lake was also a large container of stillwater that was implanted with several yellow bulbs of 500-watt light. This container of water measured up to 300 inches long and occupied neraly half of the filming set. The only edited parts of the logo were the cuts between the text and the backgrounds, with the operators tuning the flash to 1000 watts to cover the text's cut. The thunderstorm scene, shot in a barren area of Ray, Seminolia, was filmed over the course of 12 days during a squall line and took the filmers nearly 4 final days to catch a lightning bolt shaped like the "P". The final segment was edited together on a XFG Rendering System (also a product of Xiang) with green-screens and masking with the text and symbols being provided by standers.

Variants:

• From 1985 to 1992, the logo animated at approximately 20 fps and the colors were slightly darker. The thunderstorm footage was also slightly shortened and the flash of lightning forming the "P" looked rougher.
• From 1992 to 1998, the logo's framerate was upgraded to 30 fps, eliminating the juts visible from the original variant. The colors are also brighter (allowing for more visibility of mountain details, for instance), the water is also clearer and looks to be stiller, and the flashes of lightning forming the "P" were updated with a flash effect instead. The color of the background remains the same, though.
• When Robun Brothers Pictures acquired The Palidrus Company in September 7, 1996, the byline "A Robun Brothers ENTERTAINMENT company" (with "Robun Brothers" in its corporate fonts, "A" and "ENTERTAINMENT" being a Helvetica bold and "company" being in Gill Sans Light) fades in below the logo after it finishes animating. Sometimes used in tandem with the original version for unknown reasons.
• Sometimes, the logo can appear slightly enlarged, making the text almost take up the screen width.
• An open-matte version exists, where other details (like the mountain chain's ends and stars overhead being visible) are exposed more. The lightning footage is also expanded.
• A variant of the bylineless version exists where

Audio: An ominous-sounding orchestral theme with synth tings and dings, composed by George Byars.

Schulz Studio (1998-present)

NOTE: This is not affiliated with the Schulz Studio which makes the Apple TV Peanuts stuff, but rather my own version to commemorate with the release of a specific movie. Plus, I know the things in here already exist, but this is in my world and not ours.

Background

Schulz Studio was opened by Charles M. Schulz, creator of the Peanuts comic strip, in November 18, 1998 to commemorate and support Amblin Entertainment for the release of A Son Named Schulz, which would eventually release seven months after his death in 2000. After the film's tremendous financial success and critical acclaim, the studio would be inherited by the family of Charles himself and would eventually produce other Peanuts-related media throughout its life with Steven Spielberg, such as The Snoopy Show and other original and remastered specials done by them. Schulz Studio is now owned by a minority stake between Amblin Partners and Robun Pictures (through its Robun Brothers Animation Studios division).

Logo (April 27, 1999-February 14, 2009, December 15, 2011-)

Visuals: Over a black backdrop, there is the text "SCHULZ" in Charles M. Schulz's signature with a line and "S T U D I O" in Futura below it.

Trivia: This logo was designed by I&P Imaging and Chandler Stevens from C1A1 Graphical.

Variants:

• On the Take Care With Peanuts promotional shorts, the logo is sized down and is seen at the bottom right corner.
• On the short Snoopy Off-Screen, the logo is seen on the bottom still.
• On another short Snow Dog (1999), the logo is black and superimposed over the end scene.
• On A Son Named Schulz itself, the logo is seen scrolling up with the copyright info and the commemorative texts.
• Starting with For Auld Lang Syne (2001), the logo cuts to memorial text saying "Thank you, Sparky. Always in our hearts." This refers to Charles M. Schulz, as this was his nickname.
• On the documentary film Who Are You, Charlie Brown?, the logo is black over a white background. The memorial text appears after the 20th Century Fox Television logo.
• Some prints of the film have the logo above the Fantasy Films logo.
• Starting with The Peanuts Classics (2011-), an animated version is seen where the "SCHULZ" text writes in first and everything else fades in below.

Technique: A still digital graphic. 2D animation for the animated version.

Audio: Either the closing theme of the film/show/special, or pencil sounds for the animated version.

Availability: Seen on all of Schulz Studio's content since 1999, mostly paired with the Amblin Entertainment logo on most of their output.

• First appeared on promotional A Son Named Schulz shorts and currently seen on The Snoopy Show (2021-).
• This does not appear on the first three Take Care With Peanuts shorts from 1998 to 1999, as they were not produced entirely by the studio.
• Shows you can find this on are Snoopy in Space (1999), The Snoopy Show (both 2001 and 2021; the latter released on Timely domestically and Netflix internationally), and The Peanuts Classics (which are re-animated versions of the Peanuts television specials in better quality).

EVE's Company

Background

EVE's Company is the production company and in-house animation studio of renowned erotic animator Ray Eljovitz, French filmmaker Darĉe Paule Vandenberg, and executive partner Mila Elowis, creators of the franchises Adam and Eve, The Heavy-Termed Girl and Ice and Speed, the former which became the first animated Robun Brothers-distributed movie to receive an "X" rating from the MPAA, founded in 1996. The company originally produced animated shorts from 1980-1981, such as Late to Hell, before expanding to feature-length animated movies after the animated film competition began to rise in popularity at the time. Most of their 32 films are critically and commercially successful, with 17 of then exceeding over $1 billion in box office reception for Robun Brothers Entertainment which led to the company acquiring it through their C1A1 Animation division in 2010.

In 2011, the company branched out into television production, with their notable shows being Laney, The Drain, Mid-Level and Running From Hell, the former which broke viewership and profit records for the Robun Brothers Network (now known as RBN). Their upcoming shows and movies include Imp, Christine, a potential canon Adam and Eve sequel, and Leave Me Alone!. The company's acronym comes from the deurotagonist character Evelyn Valerie Pemberton from the Adam and Eve franchise.

1st Logo (April 25, 1997)

Visuals: On a black background, the text "EVE" in an ESPN-esque font and with its letters conjoined is seen with "COMPANY" in a tall serif font below it. Next to the company name, a white apostrophe and a white "S" in a curly font is written in chalk as a copyright symbol appears next to it. A crude drawing of Eve is then sketched on the bottom-right corner.

Technique: Simple 2D animation.

Audio: Just the sound of chalk drawing.

Availability: Only seen as a placeholder logo at the end of the controversial short A Wretch Priority, which has not been desicovered in its entirety until March 2018.

2nd Logo (May 20, 1999-)

Visuals: On a black background, a crumpled piece of paper falls down and unfolds, engulfing the screen with white bent paper. A pencil then falls on the paper along with a stamp as a hand (most likely Eve's from the Adam and Eve franchise) picks up the pencil and draws the "EVE's" text in the same font as the previous logo and falls off-screen. The stamp is then picked up by Eve's other hand and stamps "COMPANY" in the same font as the previous logo as well. Eve's hand becomes shaky as it drops the stamp leaves the screen before it reappears with the other hand as they crumple and bring the paper down off-screen, turning the background black again as munching sounds are heard.

Variants:

• Movies such as We Want You, The Heavy-Termed Girl and its sequels, The Sex Maid, Ice and Speed (2022) and Adam and Eve: Genesis have a short version where the logo is already formed and starts where Eve's hands bring the paper off-screen. Recently, this is due to time constraints when movies are produced with more than three production companies.
• On some occasions, the end part is not shown at all, with the logo fading out before Eve's hands reappear. Here, the hand also does not shake after the "COMPANY" text is stamped. This is seen on the specials The Ravishingly Erotic World: After 25 Years, The Ravishingly Erotic World: Another Thing In Mind, Ray: The Man of Sex, web series such as How to Draw.. and Eat, and the movie Instant Regret.
• On TV shows from the company, a slightly shorter version of the former variant is seen.
• On the end of the web series Ask Adam and Eve!.. and Friends, How to Draw.. and Eat, Endless Ecstasy, Among You, and Aki: One Glory, the text "subscribe to" is also scribbled in after the "EVE's" text is written before the rest of the logo plays, albeit strecthed out longer to make room for the channel link and the annotated videos. As they all disappear, the end of the logo plays as normal.
• A still version exists, seen at the end of movies and some TV shows such as Suction Cup Man and Already Bred.

Technique: A combination of live-action (for the falling paper and supplies), stop-motion animation (for the unfolding and crumpling paper), and 2D animation (for the hands) done at C1A1 Animation.
