Skinny Ugly Pilgrim

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Logo (July 14-21, 2014)


Visuals: On a cream background with some pink in the center and a tree to the left, there is a lanky pilgrim standing on the right of the screen, who blinks once and suddenly feels his stomach grumbling as a turkey comes out from behind the tree. Once the pilgrim sees the turkey, he brings out a blunderbuss from behind his back, loads some bullets into it and shoves them in further with a rammer. All the while, the turkey turns his head in the opposite direction, turns it back and pecks at the ground. During this, however, he accidentally makes the blunderbuss shoot into the tree's leaves, and as it falls over, some branches and the words "Skinny Ugly Pilgrim", which are tree-like in texture and have tiny twigs sticking out of them, fall from the leaves and land on the turkey. Getting up, the pilgrim puts his hands on his hips and declares "That oughta do it!". The turkey then peeks out from behind the tree, possibly having dodged the company name falling on him, and winks.

Variants:

  • A short version of the logo appears at the beginning of Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie, where it starts at the pilgrim ramming the bullets into his blunderbuss and ends when he says his line. The same version also appears at the end of the second trailer of the film, except the text "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" in a black retro pixel font (known as Press Start) appears at the start, and it flies away when the blunderbuss shoots. The logo has also been cropped to a scope aspect ratio.
  • A still version of the logo appears at the end of the film.

Technique: Flash animation, animated by Matt Beaudoin.

Audio: In order: Birds chirping in the background, the pilgrim's stomach grumbling, the turkey's footsteps, a "toing" sound when he spots the turkey, the turkey's gobbling, a whoosh sound when he brings out his blunderbuss, cluttering sounds when he puts the bullets in the blunderbuss, him ramming the bullets further, the blunderbuss shooting, branches creaking, a small and subtle slide whistle and a thud sound when the company name lands on the turkey, a dog barking and a crow cawing in the background, the pilgrim's dialogue, a three-note pizzicato tune, a creaking sound when the turkey peeks out from behind the tree and, finally, a ding when he winks.

Audio Variant: The second trailer for Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie has a different thud sound, lacks the slide whistle and the turkey can be heard squealing when he gets hit by the company name.

Availability: Seen on Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie and its second trailer.
