1st Logo (October 19, 1994)

Nicknames: "Return of Vulgar the Clown", "Return of Jay and Silent Bob", "Less-Perverted Clown", "View Askew All-Stars", "25 Years of Cinematic Silliness"
Logo: On a grayish-white background, we see the black-and-white Vulgar the Clown from the first logo, already wearing his obscene outfit (with stockings, thong, platform shoes and clothespins) and holding a clapperboard, but now designed in a noticeably more cartoonish manner, walking towards a changing booth (again ala the first logo, complete with cheap foot-slippage walk cycle), but just as he approaches it, the changing booth falls over and a color animated Jay comes out, running over Vulgar. Following him is Silent Bob, along with characters from many other View Askew movies (including a couple other incarnations of Jay and Silent Bob, such as in their superhero outfits from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, and their original black-and-white versions from the first Clerks film.) After the last of the crowd of characters trample Vulgar, he gets up on his knees as we zoom up to a medium shot of him as he gives a stereotypical cartoonish "dazed" expression with his tongue hanging out, to which a red circle with black outlines containing the words "VIEW ASKEW" fades in around Vulgar's head (ala the 2000 View Askew Television logo). Then Vulgar smiles in awe with a wide-eyed look, as the text "25 Years of Cinematic Silliness" fades in below, with "25" in a black bold font and the rest of the text arced in a black cursive script.
FX/SFX: 2D Flash animation (looking somewhat primitive, but probably intentional.)
Music/Sounds: It starts out with a rearrangement of the weird calliope theme from the first logo, but then it segues into a brassy rock tune when Jay appears to trample Vulgar, and plays throughout the rest of the logo.
Availability: So far only seen on Jay & Silent Bob Reboot.
Editor's Note: Some may be surprised to see Vulgar the Clown again, but this is still a fun (and much better animated) homage to the first logo and the company's filmography.
