Idiotbox

1st Logo (October 12, 2014-March 29, 2015)

Visuals: There is some white pixels which cover the screen. A portion of the pixels are black and read "idiotbox" with what looks like a game box with an antenna on top covering "box". The antennas have an electrical bolt which moves up, down and up again. The logo has a vignette effect.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The ending theme.

Availability: Seen on season 5 of The Walking Dead on AMC.

2nd Logo (October 11, 2015-April 3, 2016)

Visuals: There is a gamepad with designs of large robot monsters (called "mecha") and some robot flying bats on a wooden table. In the middle is a screen. The last logo then pops up inside the screen.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Same as the last logo.

Availability: Seen on season 6 of The Walking Dead on AMC.

3rd Logo (October 23, 2016-)

Visuals: There is a new Idiotbox logo on the top of an arcade game, which appears on an old-style TV. A purple flash occurs in the logos direction and a character on the right jumps up while the red arrow clicks on "VERY EASY". This happens in a city setting. The screen glitches and cuts to another screen with the character now holding a sword and "You are Idiotbox" and "Time 001" below.

Trivia: This logo clearly takes inspiration from the title screen of Mega Man 2.

Variant:

There exists a still version.
On Tales of the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: Dead City, the logo is next to the Skybound Entertainment logo.

Technique: 2D sprite-based animation.

Audio: Same as the last two logos.

Availability: Seen on The Walking Dead on AMC, starting with season 7. It is also seen on Tales of the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: Dead City. These can be seen on AMC.
