Background: Sinking Ship Entertainment is an multiple Canadian award-winning production, distribution and interactive company which specializes in family and children's live-action and CGI-graphic content, founded in 2004. Sinking Ship Entertainment is based from Toronto, Ontario.
(2004-)
Nickname(s): "The Ship that Collapses", "The Superimposed Outlined Ship on Water Print Logo", "The Ship in the Wavy Water/The Black Floating Cruiseship".
Logo: Either on a white or black background or whatever any other type of background design is superimposed on the show's end credit, there is a outlined silhouetted collapsed ship with three tiny white circles (but in some case can often be seen in alternate attires of this logo). The collapsed ship below it is a wavy line of water that's touching or covering the bottom of the ship. Below the ship and the wavy line of water is the text that says "SINKING SHIP ENTERTAINMENT", all capitalised in Calibri; "SINKING SHIP" (on top) and "ENTERTAINMENT" (below those names) are both stacked together to spread in the position of the logo.
Trivia: The company's logo design was parodies of the Battleship franchise and the 2012 film Jaws.
Variants:
- On Taste Buds, the Marble Media logo appears above it on a white BG, as well with copyright information below in smaller letters in black.
- On Rollplay, the logo appears on a black background into 2 shades of beige (on the top left and bottom right) corners/or sides and white pieces of coloured paper (on the top right and bottom left) sides, all spreaded and gathered in neatly (as if it is used as an art project), and the Sinking Ship sailboat logo is also cut into halves and nor is outlined separately as well.
- On Dino Dan, Dino Dana, and OSMU, the SSE text appears in a different font instead of Calibri.
- There is also an opening version of the logo found on some shows from the company on TVO airings, which contains the text "ORIGINAL" below the outline next to the current TVOKids logo with a tiny, black plus sign in the middle. Below these is a long black line where the latter text meets at the bottom.
- On some of it's TV shows, there also even features an copyright notice right at the bottom middle of the screen appears above the Sinking Ship Entertainment text and the ship design.
- Some shows from this company may also have the copyright notice at the bottom middle in all different fonts other than the original one.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The end theme of the series.
Availability: Current. First seen on episodes of Taste Buds. The normal variant can be seen on the said latter show and Seasons 1-2 of Odd Squad on TVOKids and PBS. The alternate variant can be seen on Dino Dan/Dino Dana and OSMU. Supposing to be seen on other present contented shows as if it is safe to do so or maybe just to name some. But even though it also appears in other shows from the company as well. Don't expect to see the Sinking Ship logo on Lockdown, Endlings, The Unlisted, What's Inside and as well as the Amazon original preteen/young teen oriented novel TV series Just Add Magic.
Editor's Note: This logo can be a favorite for fans of Dino Dan/Dino Dana and many other shows in the company as well.
Final Note: Two of TVO's owned shows Rank The Prank and My Home My Life, The Unlisted and Just Add Magic were the only four shows in this company that were associated by other and primer production companies first collaborated for every latter.
