Background

Billionfold, Inc. is the production company of Butch Hartman, creator of The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, T.U.F.F. Puppy, and Bunsen is a Beast!, all for Nickelodeon.

(April 3, 2004-)

Nicknames: "Butch the Superhero", "The Extending Cape", "Super-Butch", "Spoofed Superman", "BILLION FOOOOOOOOLD! (inc.)"

Logo: On a plain white background with a light blue trapezoid shape, we see a drawing of Butch Hartman as a superhero, wearing a suit that's somewhat similar to Superman's, but purple with black briefs, yellow boots and a cursive red "B" in front of a yellow circle where the "S" is supposed to go. Butch's cape extends out to reveal the words "BILLIONFOLD INC." written on it.

Variant: On Butch Hartman's video of the Nicktoons Unite parody trailer to the 2017 film Justice League, the logo is modified with Butch wearing a different suit, in a style of Superman's suit from the DC Extended Universe films. Also, the background is black.

FX/SFX: The cape waving, and the cape extending out to reveal "BILLIONFOLD INC."

Music/Sounds: A loud "heroic" fanfare (composed by Guy Moon) accompanied by a chorus loudly singing "BILLIONFOLD!" (a la the Snee-Oosh "Creepy Chorus of Doom"), followed by a Road Runner-like voice uttering "inc!"

Music/Sounds Variants:

On The Fairly OddParents episode, "Open Wide & Say Ahhh/Odd Pirates" and A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!, the ending theme of the show/movie respectively plays over it. Oddly enough, the Latin American Spanish dub of the former actually had the logo's audio, implying the former's case is a post-production error that made it to the broadcast copy.
On an French iTunes print of the Danny Phantom episode "Memory Blank" (S02E01), the audio is slightly high toned.
Similarly, on the iTunes France print of the said show's episodes "The Ultimate Enemy, Parts 1 and 2", the audio is low pitched.
On 2009-2014 airings of Season 6 and later episodes of The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom with the split-screen credits, later episodes of Bunsen Is a Beast! episodes with the 2017 Nickelodeon Productions logo and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, the "Inc!" sound effect has been removed.

Availability: First introduced with Danny Phantom and later incorporated onto post-2008 episodes of The Fairly OddParents. Also appeared on T.U.F.F. Puppy, A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner, A Fairly Odd Christmas, A Fairly Odd Summer, the Nicktoons Unite parody trailer to the 2017 film Justice League, and Bunsen Is a Beast! (the latter which was Hartman's last-ever show, as he eventually left Nickelodeon). Currently appears on HobbyKids Adventures and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder.

Editor's Note: This is a cute, fun and memorable logo for those who have grown up with Butch Hartman's shows.
