Idiotbox
1st Logo (October 12, 2014-March 29, 2015)
Logo: We see 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: The electrical bolt. Appears to be limited animation.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme.
Availability: Seen on season 5 of The Walking Dead.
2nd Logo (October 11, 2015-April 3, 2016)
Logo: We see 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: Just the logo appearing.
Music/Sounds: Same as the last logo.
Availability: Seen on season 6 of The Walking Dead.
3rd Logo (October 23, 2016-)
Logo: We see 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, the logo is next to the Skybound Entertainment logo.
Technique: Very cool arcade-styled graphics, especially for the period.
Music/Sounds: Same as the last two logos.
Availability: Seen on The Walking Dead, starting with season 7. It is also seen on Tales of the Walking Dead.
