Dream logos

This is my sandbox, aka where all of my Dream Logos go. As I said on my main page, I have been thinking up stuff to add to the gargantuan library of movies, shows, and music all owned by the multi-trillion dollar conglomerate and movie studio, Robun Entertainment. Robun Entertainment, just to give you a sneak peek, was founded in 1909 by allied filmmaker Clifford "Cliff" Chandler Robun, and his sons Austin Robun-Viltfeld and Sam Robun-Penton to form "Robun Brothers, Incorporated" after the former established an uncharted studio on Sidney Blvd. in Chicago, IL. on February 16, 1905. It would eventually thrive to become one of the largest movie studios in the United States (and internationally) and is one of the "Big Seven" studios, along with 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox from 1935 to 2020, and would revert back to the original name after one of the companies' closures in 2023), Paramount Pictures, Sony Entertainment, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Walt Disney Pictures (before it was closed down by this company in late 2023).

Some things to know about my logos:

  • I am not an expert at drawing logos on software, so this page will be imageless (even if it looks really interesting from your perspective). I don't want to make messes on MS Paint, PowerPoint, or any form of drawing software so that they will not come out looking hideous.
  • This company and the proceeding ones are most definitely not real. It is entirely made up and stored in my brain for over 3 years, and I've been waiting a long time to express the logos' looks on this wiki (I got the idea from a ripoff CLG Wiki, entitled Your Dream Logos with different page parts). Think of Marvel's What If.. but with dream logos instead of superheroes (sorry about the plagiarization, AlmightyKingPrawn). I think of this as part of an alternate Earth in my brain.
  • Due to me being completely used to the term "Editor's Note", I will say that instead of "Legacy".
  • I will put "Author's Note" underneath "Editor's Note" at times to show my thinking behind the logo and how I thought up the idea of it.
  • I'm not the best at coming up with original phrases, so you might read some phrases explaining logos that sound kind of familiar (if you revert back to other pages).
  • One more time. This is all fake. Do not ever place it on the wiki or make a page dedicated to dream logos. I want to stick with AVID's rules as much as I can.

Robun Entertainment

Background

Robun Entertainment (formerly known as Robun Brothers Pictures from 1909 to 1979, Robun/Brendans Corporation from 1979 to 1982, and Robun Brothers Entertainment from 1982 to 2009)'s origins trace way back to February 16, 1905, when an allied filmmaker Clifford "Cliff" Chandler Robun established an uncharted studio on Sidney Blvd. in Chicago, IL. He partnered with his sons Austin Robun-Viltfeld and Samuel Robun-Penton to form "Robun Brothers, Incorporated" on September 7, 1909, making it the oldest American movie company in continuous operation, before the founding of Paramount Pictures (founded on May 8, 1912, as Famous Players Film Corporation), Universal Pictures (founded on June 8, 1912), and Warner Bros. Pictures (founded in 1918 as Warner Bros' Pictures Incorporated). Despite being non-independent after June 17, 2005, the company is an addition to the "Big Seven" studios, alongside 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox, with it reverting back to its original name after the shutdown of its owner in 2023), Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Walt Disney Pictures (before they were closed by this company in late 2023).

After Xavier Robun, a newborn at the time of founding became 23, he joined the studio. When Cliff Chandler passed away in December 1951, the same year the company moved operations from Chicago to Hollywood, the sons took over the company independently overseeing the releases of films such as The Curse of the Devil's Roar, The Happiest Bunches, Wild Rose, Stars of a Thief, Art of the Trickster, and Ships of the Forgotten. Then, Austin died from a stroke in early 1979, shortly after the release of the critically-acclaimed Vinny Dreams, and a partnership between fellow leading independent distributor Brennans Entertainment Corporation, forming Robun/Brennans Corporation, which lasted until 1982. After Sam finally passed away from heart cancer in 1981, Xavier struggled to keep his films in good condition, as many box office failures from this era were making him lose control of the studio. Many executives from Universal, Paramount, Columbia, and 20th Century Fox left their respective jobs at the studios and offered to continue work on films with him.

During its time remaining independent for 96 years, Robun Brothers Entertainment was subject to numerous distributions of films over time, such as films from 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, Miramax Films, MGM, New Line Cinema, and Universal Pictures. After the overwhelming critical and commercial successes of Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy (20th Century Fox, 1999), 20th Century Fox eventually acquired 35% of the company on June 17, 2005, after the release of Kernel & Rose x Harold: The Boy: The Naked Mile (2005).

In 1983, within the underline of distribution deals of 20th Century Fox, Robun's independent film division was rebranded Robun Pictures for further independently released films and also to avoid rising naming infringements with Warner Bros. Pictures. Ironically, in 1985, the company signed a distribution deal with Warner Communications Group (now Warner Bros. Discovery; through Warner Bros. Pictures and Lorimar), which was originally each ten films long. But after a large amount of box office successes (such as United We Stand, Divided We Fall (Warner Bros. and Malpaso Company, 1987), The Madelyn Conspiracies (1989), The Draw Rider (Lorimar, 1990), Aeo and Run & Gun (both 1992; latter produced with Lorimar), and Between Universes (1994), the deal was extended. After New Line Cinema became a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner in In 1996, the company also signed a deal with Sony Pictures, most notably distributing films under the Columbia and TriStar labels.

Today, Robun Entertainment is most well-known for the Shores of Gold, Zodiac, Sand Trap, Lives, Da Rippaz, Tori and Allan, Dead of Night, Timely, Living Plants, 10.5, Harold, Relax, Adam and Eve, The Heavy-Termed Girls and The Raiders franchises. They are also well-known for films such as Come To Me, Being The Hero, The Attack of the Bayside Towns, As We Merrily Roll Along, Off The Horizon, Vince's Dreams, among others that have excelled over $1 billion in box office sales. After Xavier Robun finally passed away on January 29, 2001, Sam Robun-Penton's nephew Norbert Robun-Penton took over the company along with vice executives with an 84% stake.

One of the company's biggest controversies is forbidding all American Disney Junior/Disney Channel Mornings airings of the Australian series Bluey, as well as prohibiting the sale of all affiliated merchandise and propaganda and even blocking all YouTube uploads from the show's official channel, stating that the show's fundamental purposes and Australian culture does not translate well to an American audience and through a new rule that character designs have to be sent out to the company's agency to verify a gender (if a character has verifiable features of a female (with eyelashes, a high, excited voice and a bow on head) or a male, (with a low voice, bowtie, or no eyelashes), they will be accepted into the American media, which Bluey and other characters did not pass). While many millionaires (including Ludo Studio, The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and BBC Studios, the companies behind the show) tried to take most of their currency due to the outrage based on the blockage, they were unsuccessful and Robun's side of the war won. Eventually, Bluey would inevitably become one of the most widely hated shows in history after Grall, out of pure spite, hacked both the ABC Kids, Cbeebies, and Disney Junior/Disney Channel networks to display a highly controversial fan episode he made himself: School Day. This prompted The Walt Disney Company to try to put an end to the company once and for all by purchasing 21st Century Fox's assets along with Robun BrothersEntertainment, but failed to do so, as shown below.

After The Walt Disney Company purchased 78% of 21st Century Fox's assets in 2019 including 15% of Robun Brothers Entertainment, Disney spun them off into a new company called "Robun Brothers, Inc." along with the company's subsidiaries after they failed to shut them down due to mass budgetary revenue overtakes. In 2023, Robun Brothers Inc. acquired most of Disney's assets for $212 billion and shut down The Walt Disney Company soon after, stating that Disney is not staying true to their source materials and that it is failing to make back most of its economic state from theatrical releases and their streaming service, Disney+. Then, on March 23, 2024, the company revived the 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures, and Blue Sky Studios names for $285.4 million, stating that the three companies in past memory are what made fans' lives complete and how the companies were very pretentious at classic films. Today, Robun Brothers Entertainment is now renowned as the #1 Most Acclaimed Movie Studio in the world, according to Universal Privilege, Global, Life, Total Film, HAF, Weekly Us, PHF Specials, and Robun's website based on a total of 48,948,828,616 votes.

Formed as an offspring of Robun Brothers Pictures in 1930 by Xavier and Samuel Robun and animators Johann Berlauß, Elson Hamberg, and Essy Allen, the studio specializes in producing films, shorts and TV series targeted for diverse age groups (its sister company, C1A1 Animatiob, mainly releases films for teen and more mature audiences only), all of which are released through Robun Pictures. The studio's earliest release, Thoughts (1929), garnered critical and commercial success for the studio, and would lead to the clip being featured in all of the company's identity logos since. The company was founded in 1930, but would not use a logo all the way up until 1988, where it was renamed to Robun Brothers Animation Studios.

Robun Theatres

Background

In 1973, Robun Brothers Pictures executives (Martin Freshcher, Damian Kaythi Saatchi, Howp Towen, and Javii Nomboyer) had a talk with theater entrepreneurs the Durwood brothers and David Dambuel to acquire their run-down theaters so they can expand the business to theater development. October 24, 1974, was the opening day of the first Robun Brothers Theater in Los Angeles, California. After exceeding over $30 million in currency and box office transfers from customers and deals of venue, the chain began worldwide expansion.

After growth in revenue starting in 1983, the company experienced major growth in revenue and eventually expanded locations to across the world. The first non-USA theater chain to open was the Robun Brothers Theater in Mexico City in 1984. In 1985, the company opened its first multiplex cinema chains overseas, the 12-screen multiplex theatre in London, United Kingdom and the 10-screen multiplex in The Point, Milton Keynes, both in the United Kingdom. During that year, they opened the first non-English speaking chains, the Robun Brothers Theater Madrid 10 in Madrid, Spain, and the Robun Brothers Theater Louvre 15 in Paris, France. They opened additional sites in those countries such as the Robun Brothers Theater Point Bordeaux in Bordeaux, France, Robun Brothers Theater La-Part-Dieu 8 in Lyon, France, and the Robun Brothers Theater Barcelona 12 in Barcelona, Spain, all of which have garnered over $500 million in revenue for the main company in total. The first Asian theaters to open are the Robun Brothers Theater Shanghai 15 in Shanghai, China and the Robun Brothers Theater Tokyo 15 in Tokyo, Japan in August. The first Australian theaters to open are the Robun Brothers Theater Canberra 20, the Robun Brothers Theater Gold Coast 25, and the Robun Brothers Theater Sydney 23, all of which opened in October of 1985.

In July 1987, the company opened its first megaplex theater (also the first megaplex theater in the world; and would eventually become their most famous theater), the Robun Brothers Theater Times Square 35 in New York City, New York. The megaplex theater, with 35 screens and with each auditorium sitting over 25,000 people, was opened by Kineopolis in association with Marquee Holdings and EAK Company. During its grand opening, it drew in approximately 1,594,000 moviegoers and residents in just its first hour, and after the first movie showing, garnered nearly $550,000.

After Sony's release of the SDDS sound system in 1993, the company signed a contract to employ its auditoriums with the technology. Two years later in 1995, the company signed numerous deals with other companies. During that year, Robun Brothers Theaters signed a deal with IMAX to employ its theaters with IMAX technology. Two years later, they struck a deal with Lucasfilm to employ some auditoriums with the THX technology. The deal was closed in 2006 due to complaints about the sound scaring children, but was reverted in 2023 for their THX Ultimate Cinema franchises. Two years later, they struck another deal with Dolby Laboratories to employ some auditoriums with Dolby sound systems. In 2009, they struck a final deal with PRIME, a movie/home theater equipment manufacturing company to employ its theaters with their finest sound equipment. Some theaters come equipped with an anaglyphic RealD 3D technology for some movie showings, as well as the BigD screens in some other ones. Some theaters in Arkansas and Alabama are certified by [[Cinedigm Digital Cinema|Cinedigm, meaning that all visuals are projected with their technology. After SDDS began to be phased out in 2008, the company signed another deal with Columbus-based Westinberg Media Systems to employ the theaters with their Westinberg sound systems, although SDDS-equipped theaters still survived until October 2009. In 2010, the chain launched a membership club called RB Theatres Stubs, which attracted a total of 467 million people. The next year, they upgraded themselves to an S-Tier division, where you get free concessions, showings, and a point counter that will unlock membership rewards if you watch enough movies every week, as well as free access to all of the theater chain's subsidiarial divisions. On December 30, 2022, the chain signed another deal with THX to employ the THX certification system to theaters. Today, the chain was ranked highest of all US cinema chains (above AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas, which they all merged with Cinemark Theatres to form Fathom Events in 2005 and with Callahan Cinemas and Wall Street Cinemas (both theater chains were acquired by the company in 2011 and 2013) to form Timely Cinema Corporation in 2014), attracts 90 million customers per day, and has exceeded over $67 billion for the main company since 1982. Following the rebrand to Robun Theatres in 2024, multiple of their asset names changed (such as the stubs membership being renamed to "Robun Theatres Stubs").

C1A1 Animation

Background

C1A1 Animation (a promonym for "See (C) One (1) Animate (A) One (1)"; originally called C1A1 Entertainment from 1979 to 1981 and C1A1 Animation Studios from 1981 to 2000) is an American flagship animation studio and graphic design manufacturing plot established in 1979 by veteran animators Ralph Bakshi, Camen Christian Jr., Don Landers, Dick Lundy, Evan Cringstam, and Ray Eljovitz and has been owned by the Robun Brothers Studios since 1982 after the release of the critically and commerically successful Adam & Eve.

Some of their films have also achieved numerous breakthroughs and records, such as Adam and Eve being the first animated film by the company to receive an X rating from the MPAA, 10.5 becoming the first animated film to be animated entirely through rotoscope, physics tracking, and being animated at 60 frames per second, outgrossing its competitor Toy Story, Relax becoming the highest paid-preview opening for an animated film and the first film to utilize CGI-animated elements in 2D territorial elements, and Adam and Eve: Genesis becoming the first animated film to gross over $1 billion in less than 24 hours, as well as Battle receiving over 36 major accolades for its production and box office records.

The company has released over 51 feature films, 43 shorts, 19 television programs and also 25 AMVs since its founding, 42 released under Robun Pictures (previously Robun Brothers Pictures) and 7 released under the Robun Entertainment banner and released through 20th Century Studios (previously 20th Century Fox), with their most recent project being Battle, co-produced with over 50 companies and domestic/international distributors, released on July 20, 2025. Upcoming films from the studio include Another Round of Bright Weather, The Meadow, a Living Plants spinoff sequel, and Made, and upcoming TV shows include Shown in Scope, Wanda's Only and two Heavy-Termed Girls spinoffs Christine and Imp.

Visuals: Scrolling up in the end credits or over a black background, there is a white outlined oval with "C1A1" in a bold Anais font, with various petals varying in drawing styles (such as loops, detailed petals, and points) around it. The spaced out text "A N I M A T I O N" is seen below and (mostly) "produced at" is seen above.

Trivia: The object being represented is a peoryn, a symbolic natranea-type flower meant to represent a cross between hatred and generosity. Most of C1A1's films blend between feelings of seriousness and warmth, which is why the flower is a symbol of anything related to the company.

3rd Logo (November 22, 1992-November 19, 2000)

Visuals: Over a black background, several lights streak upward from the bottom of the screen vertically and explode into colorful fireworks, with the third producing a big explosion which produces a shockwave that reveals several elements of the invisible peoryn symbol from the previous logo (if you look closely, the lines form in by themselves), to which its lines are then filled in later as it shines. As the shockwave disappears, a light shines over the background, lighting it up and turning it cornsilk as the outlines fill with red and blue, but leaving the middle blank for the "C1A1" text from the previous logo which is bordered by outlines which draw in. After this, the text "A N I M A T I O N" draws in letter-by-letter while copyright information appears below.

Pencil Ventures

NOTE: The Ross Bollinger I mention here is not affiliated with the Ross Bollinger who makes the Pencilmation web series, but rather a renowned deceased animator who has worked on other iconic franchises from the 1940s to the mid 1990s, where his tragic death took place. Once again, this exists in my world and not ours.

Background

Pencil Ventures is an American animation studio founded by renowned animator Ross Bollinger and owned by the Bollinger Estate since his death on February 17, 1994. The studio has been a subsidiary of the Robun Brothers Studios since 1996, and is the company's third flagship animation studio alongside Robun Brothers Animation Studios and C1A1 Animation. Nearly all of the studio's content (except for the Squishville (also known as Squishmallows) and the Backyard Kids franchises, which are owned by Universal Studios), are owned by a minority stake between Robun Brothers Inc. and Paramount Pictures. The studio is best known for the Pencilmation, Squishville, Elimination!, 21st Street, Bluey and Rosy, Secrets of the Nile and the Backyard Kids franchises.

Ross Bollinger founded the studio while working for United Productions of America, where he created and animated a short film about a sketch drawing having constant quarrels with a pencil, released in 1943 as The Bollinger Production House. His other released projects were then compiled into a series known as Pencilmation, where he continued to work on episodes of the series ever since. In 1948, the company was renamed to The Bollinger Productions Co. Due to the series' massive success in viewership, Bollinger released another exclusive project, Bluey and Rosy in 1958 for theater start times and intermissions for Robun Brothers Pictures films. In 1963, the company was officially renamed to Pencil Ventures. Pencil Ventures was then inherited by several other animators of the time including Gerald Voịće, Dan Kiels and John Hubley in 1963, where they frequently collaborated to make the 21st Street and Elimination! franchises throughout the 1960s and 1970s, in which animators from Robun Brothers Pictures, such as Gnidnow Kilhocgore and Jisso Kaosu, assisted and loaned them.

After the Robun Brothers Studios renamed itself to Robun/Brendans Corporation in 1979, Pencil Ventures began to shift and cut their ties with the company altogether after Bollinger decided to eventually stop assisting other companies on his works. The company's independently-made projects, such as the series The Adventures of the Backyard Kids, unfortunately, did not financially recover as much as Bollinger had hoped, leading them to start contracting other companies to support their projects. Bollinger's daughter, Eleanor, created the franchise Squishville with toymaker Jonathan Kelly in 1984, which became a tremendous success. Until then, Bollinger inherited the intellectual property with Universal Pictures supporting the franchise.

After Ross Bollinger's death from lung cancer occurred on February 17, 1994, his sons Bruce and Joseph became chief executives of the company and formed the Bollinger Estate, where Bollinger's assitants and family members contributed their works to the institute and publicly ran the companies he owned. After Robun Brothers Entertainment took notice, they signed a deal with the company to intellectually acquire the estate so that they can loan the company and pay respects to the death of the company's founder. On July 29, 1996, Robun Brothers Entertainment acquired the company for $389 million, thus marking it their third flagship studio to specialize in animation. In 2006, Paramount Pictures announced a deal between the Robun Brothers Companies and the Bollinger estate to wholly distribute some of the company's properties after they had worked with CBS to hold television rights to their programs from the 1960s to the 1990s. Pencil Ventures' name comes from the first work from Ross Bollinger, Pencilmation, which originally ran from 1943 to 1982, but executives revived the series to air publicly on television since 1984.

Visuals: Over a black background, thrte is a hand-drawn graphic of a pencil (over a top view) in bright gold before it dims to a soft blue as six blue shining lights close in on the graphite tip of the pencil. The pencil is also in front of a cut-out of the United States country. Once they disappear, several lines and bolts flicker on and off (a la RKO Pictures) of the tip as the text "Pencil" in script and "VENTURES" in a spaced-out Poppins pop in in line with the Morse Code letter. The text "the company of Ross Bollinger" in Figtree fades in below. The tip continues to emit the lines and bolts until the logo ends or cuts to the next one.

Bylines:

  • June 28, 1980-September 27, 1981: "The company of Ross Bollinger" in a white Figtree, along with "and D&B Holdings Ltd." below that in a smaller size.
  • September 30, 1981-March 29, 1984: "The company of Ross Bollinger" by itself.
    • On various old HBO Family airings of 21st Street (1984-1989) from 1997-1998, the byline is in a slight peach tint.
  • April 2, 1984-July 18, 1994: "The company of Ross Bollinger" as normal and "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." below that, both in white.
    • Sometimes, on various shows such as The All-New Umie, The Third Kid, Woops! (1984), Colored America, The Teen Angels (1981-1982), the 1984 Lucky Ones reboot, and the obscure And Then.. the "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." text would be a very pale parchment yellow, possibly due to deterioration.
    • On syndicated prints of the shows Lands Of The Lost and The Old Peeling Ball, the logo is darker, making the "Pencil VENTURES" and "the company of Ross Bollinger" text moccasin colored and the "and the BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." text sandy brown.
    • On a syndicated print of Elimination! on CBS on March 11, 1994, the whites on the text are tinted in khaki.
  • April 27-July 18, 1994: The text "A DIVISION OF THE BOLLINGER HOLDINGS CO." in Arial is below.
  • Most post-1984 re-runs of shows made when owned by D&B Holdings Co. have the version's byline blacked out for legal reasons.

Variants:

  • An extended version of this logo exists, usually seen on theatrical films. The sequence starts with a space background with galaxies for a couple of seconds before a bright star shines in the middle, emitting several rays and rotating before the light takes up the whole screen. Then the light fades out as the logo plays as normal, albeit with the pencil zooming in slightly and animating slower and as copyright info fades in on the bottom-right corner. At the beginning of the logo, you can see that the stars align and form the United States map as the star appears.

Audio Variants:

  • The theatrical version starts with a low wind noise for the space background. It then culminates and morphs into four ascending analaog synth chords which fade out as the logo appears, followed by Morse Code beeps that spell "Pencil Ventures", which play twice.
  • On two reported 1997 HBO Family airings of the film Nile: Two Whole Men, the Morse Code beeps play with a low pitch-set tone due to a mistake with the print.

The Palidrus Company

Background

The Palidrus Company is an American production company founded by the four Palidrus brothers: Mark, Fale, Charles "Chuckie", and Jonah, who are noted for their work on the Robun Brothers films Bargain (1965), Why, Little John? (1967), and Dupe For Two (1971).

1st Logo (March 16, 1981-August 2, 1985)

Visuals: Over a dimly lit black background, several 3D rectangular prisms of different heights rise out of the ground and move away from the camera, which stops as the text "PALIDRUS" in Times New Roman rises out of the ground and starts glowing white as it floats. Meanwhile, a blue-colored line travels around the screen, over the text, and off-screen. As the text nears the center, a lime line appears and travels around the text, forming "The" on top of the "P" and "Company" below the "U" and "S" before disappearing. A red or tomato red line appears from the left like the line before it disappears into the ground. Almost immediately after, it appears again, drawing a stylized "P" below the name.

Trivia: This logo was created on an early XEL workstation manufactured by Xuang, Incorporated to experiment with its technology and models. The Palidrus brither in attendance of the testing, Fale, was appeased by the results and agreed to incorporate them into an animation for his colleagues' company. The loading processes were not easy, taking a total of 5 weeks to render all frames and edit them together. The shapes were simple computer-generated models that the pitchers, Jonah and Fale, thought were satisfying to view when they merged with the logo's base, and the lines were drawn with guides and edited together onto various plane frames, while the text was comprised of simple modeling and guiding. This logo marks the first ever known usage of computer-generated imagery.

2nd Logo (November 20, 1985-July 10, 1998)

Visuals: Over a background of bright blue-tinted mountains with a lake prefecture below, the camera zooms close to the shore as eight neon yellow lights shine brightly in the center. As this happens, a billowing cloudy sky (if watched in open-matte, stars are also visible) overhead turns from a color scheme of blue to an ominous brown, along with the mountains. As the camera continues to zoom closer, the lights flash, turning them into the letters of "PALIDRUS" in the same font as the last logo and in golden yellow. Almost immediately after this, the screen flashes white, superimposing the text over the billowing cloud background seen earlier with lightning strikes happening below the text. A bolt forms the "P" shape from the last logo, which makes the background disappear and turn it into a black-blue gradient as the "P" shape also turns fire brick. As this happens, the text "The" and "Company" also fade in at their respective places and the logo stays for a few seconds before fading out.

Trivia: While it may look like CGI at first, this was an entirely live-action logo, with modeling done at propaganda plot Marvel Set Associates (not to be confused with the more recognizable Marvel; now a Magnum Screen Partners plot) in Raleigh, North Carolina. The mountains were made from polyester fiber and several cut straps that was layered on and elevated by large rocks and tinted by a large light overhead. The lake was also a large container of stillwater that was implanted with several yellow bulbs of 500-watt light. This container of water measured up to 300 inches long and occupied neraly half of the filming set. The only edited parts of the logo were the cuts between the text and the backgrounds, with the operators tuning the flash to 1000 watts to cover the text's cut. The thunderstorm scene, shot in a barren area of Ray, Seminolia, was filmed over the course of 12 days during a squall line and took the filmers nearly 4 final days to catch a lightning bolt shaped like the "P". The final segment was edited together on a XFG Rendering System (also a product of Xiang) with green-screens and masking with the text and symbols being provided by standers.

Variants:

  • From 1985 to 1992, the logo animated at approximately 20 fps and the colors were slightly darker. The thunderstorm footage was also slightly shortened and the flash of lightning forming the "P" looked rougher.
  • From 1992 to 1998, the logo's framerate was upgraded to 30 fps, eliminating the juts visible from the original variant. The colors are also brighter (allowing for more visibility of mountain details, for instance), the water is also clearer and looks to be stiller, and the flashes of lightning forming the "P" were updated with a flash effect instead. The color of the background remains the same, though.
  • When Robun Brothers Pictures acquired The Palidrus Company in September 7, 1996, the byline "A Robun Brothers ENTERTAINMENT company" (with "Robun Brothers" in its corporate fonts, "A" and "ENTERTAINMENT" being a Helvetica bold and "company" being in Gill Sans Light) fades in below the logo after it finishes animating. Sometimes used in tandem with the original version for unknown reasons.
  • Sometimes, the logo can appear slightly enlarged, making the text almost take up the screen width.
  • An open-matte version exists, where other details (like the mountain chain's ends and stars overhead being visible) are exposed more. The lightning footage is also expanded.
  • A variant of the bylineless version exists where

Audio: An ominous-sounding orchestral theme with synth tings and dings, composed by George Byars.

Schulz Studio (1998-present)

NOTE: This is not affiliated with the Schulz Studio which makes the Apple TV Peanuts stuff, but rather my own version to commemorate with the release of a specific movie. Plus, I know the things in here already exist, but this is in my world and not ours.

Background

Schulz Studio was opened by Charles M. Schulz, creator of the Peanuts comic strip, in November 18, 1998 to commemorate and support Amblin Entertainment for the release of A Son Named Schulz, which would eventually release seven months after his death in 2000. After the film's tremendous financial success and critical acclaim, the studio would be inherited by the family of Charles himself and would eventually produce other Peanuts-related media throughout its life with Steven Spielberg, such as The Snoopy Show and other original and remastered specials done by them. Schulz Studio is now owned by a minority stake between Amblin Partners and Robun Pictures (through its Robun Brothers Animation Studios division).

Logo (April 27, 1999-February 14, 2009, December 15, 2019-)

Visuals: Over a black backdrop, there is the text "SCHULZ" in Charles M. Schulz's signature with a line and "S T U D I O" in Futura below it.

Trivia: This logo was designed by I&P Imaging and Chandler Stevens from C1A1 Entertainment.

Variants:

  • On the Take Care With Peanuts promotional shorts, the logo is sized down and is seen at the bottom right corner.
  • On the short Snoopy Off-Screen, the logo is seen on the bottom still.
  • On another short Snow Dog (1999), the logo is black and superimposed over the end scene.
  • On A Son Named Schulz itself, the logo is seen scrolling up with the copyright info and the commemorative texts.
  • Starting with For Auld Lang Syne (2001), the logo cuts to memorial text saying "Thank you, Sparky. Always in our hearts." This refers to Charles M. Schulz, as this was his nickname.
  • On the documentary film Who Are You, Charlie Brown?, the logo is black over a white background. The memorial text appears after the 20th Century Fox Television logo.
  • Some prints of the film have the logo above the Fantasy Films logo. The memorial text this time appears after the Flower Films and View Askew Productions logos.
  • Starting with The Peanuts Classics (2011-), an animated version is seen where the "SCHULZ" text writes in first and everything else fades in below.

Technique: A still digital graphic. 2D animation for the animated version.

Audio: Either the closing theme of the film/show/special, or pencil sounds for the animated version.

Availability: Seen on all of Schulz Studio's content since 1999, mostly paired with the Amblin Entertainment logo on most of their output.

  • First appeared on promotional A Son Named Schulz shorts and currently seen on The Snoopy Show (2021-).
  • This does not appear on the first three Take Care With Peanuts shorts from 1998 to 1999, as they were not produced entirely by the studio.
  • Shows you can find this on are Snoopy in Space (1999), The Snoopy Show (both 2001 and 2021; the latter released on Timely domestically and Netflix internationally), and The Peanuts Classics (which are re-animated versions of the Peanuts television specials in better quality).

EVE's Company

Background

EVE's Company is the production company and in-house animation studio of renowned erotic animator Ray Eljovitz, French filmmaker Darĉe Paule Vandenberg, and executive partner Mila Elowis, creators of the franchises Adam and Eve, The Heavy-Termed Girls and Ice and Speed, the former which became the first animated Robun Brothers-distributed movie to receive an "X" rating from the MPAA, founded in 1996. The company originally produced animated shorts from 1980-1981, such as Late to Hell, before expanding to feature-length animated movies after the animated film competition began to rise in popularity at the time. Most of their 32 films are critically and commercially successful, with 17 of then exceeding over $1 billion in box office reception for Robun Brothers Entertainment which led to the company acquiring it through their C1A1 Entertainment division in 2010.

In 2011, the company branched out into television production, with their notable shows being Laney, The Drain, Mid-Level and Running From Hell, the former which broke viewership and profit records for the Robun Brothers Network (now known as RBN). Their upcoming shows and movies include Imp, Christine, a potential canon Adam and Eve sequel, and Leave Me Alone!. The company's acronym comes from the deurotagonist character Evelyn Valerie Pemberton from the Adam and Eve franchise.

1st Logo (April 25, 1997)

Visuals: On a black background, the text "EVE" in an ESPN-esque font and with its letters conjoined is seen with "COMPANY" in a tall serif font below it. Next to the company name, a white apostrophe and a white "S" in a curly font is written in chalk as a copyright symbol appears next to it. A crude drawing of Eve is then sketched on the bottom-right corner.

Technique: Simple 2D animation.

Audio: Just the sound of chalk drawing.

Availability: Only seen as a placeholder logo at the end of the controversial short A Wretch Priority, which has not been desicovered in its entirety until March 2018.

2nd Logo (May 20, 1999-)

Visuals: On a black background, a crumpled piece of paper falls down and unfolds, engulfing the screen with white bent paper. A pencil then falls on the paper along with a stamp as a hand (most likely Eve's from the Adam and Eve franchise) picks up the pencil and draws the "EVE's" text in the same font as the previous logo and falls off-screen. The stamp is then picked up by Eve's other hand and stamps "COMPANY" in the same font as the previous logo as well. Eve's hand becomes shaky as it drops the stamp leaves the screen before it reappears with the other hand as they crumple and bring the paper down off-screen, turning the background black again as munching sounds are heard.

Variants:

  • Movies such as We Want You, The Heavy-Termed Girls and its sequels, The Sex Maid, Ice and Speed (2022) and Adam and Eve: Genesis have a short version where the logo is already formed and starts where Eve's hands bring the paper off-screen. Recently, this is due to time constraints when movies are produced with more than three production companies.
  • On some occasions, the end part is not shown at all, with the logo fading out before Eve's hands reappear. Here, the hand also does not shake after the "COMPANY" text is stamped. This is seen on the specials The Ravishingly Erotic World: After 25 Years, The Ravishingly Erotic World: Another Thing In Mind, Ray: The Man of Sex, web series such as How to Draw.. and Eat, and the movie Instant Regret.
  • On TV shows from the company, a slightly shorter version of the former variant is seen.
  • On the end of the web series Ask Adam and Eve!.. and Friends, How to Draw.. and Eat, Endless Ecstasy, Among You, and Aki: One Glory, the text "subscribe to" is also scribbled in after the "EVE's" text is written before the rest of the logo plays, albeit strecthed out longer to make room for the channel link and the annotated videos. As they all disappear, the end of the logo plays as normal.
  • A still version exists, seen at the end of movies and some TV shows such as Suction Cup Man and Already Bred.

Technique: A combination of live-action (for the falling paper and supplies), stop-motion animation (for the unfolding and crumpling paper), and 2D animation (for the hands) done at C1A1 Entertainment.

Audio: Sounds of the paper crumpling out and writing, with sounds for the stamp impacting the ground. A slight gasp from Eve followed by her infamous stomach growling noise, and finally a crumpling noise and munching sounds.

Good Quality Entertainment

Background

This is the production company of Alan Semmin and James Frackner, known for producing the series The Threads, formed in 1997. They did not use a logo until 2001 with the premiere of Zeroes To Negative. In 2008, Semmin went to form his own company, Semmin Productions, but continues to be Frackner's partner in production of shows. In 2015, Clones producer Tabitha Roman joined the company.

Logo (January 18, 2001-)

Visuals: Over a black background, there is the text "good quality" in the Modulus font and in white.

Trivia:

  • This logo was designed by Astra Harmons at C1A1 Entertainment.
  • The look of the logo symbolizes an oxymoron developed by Semmin about the quality and effort of a work. To him: "If you at least try, it's good quality. If you try too hard, it's not good quality and everyone hates you. But if you try just well, we might as well take that back."

Variants:

  • Starting with season 3 of The Threads in 2004, "entertainment" in a smaller Modulus font is seen below "quality" (between the "q" and the "y").
  • Sometimes, on shows like Wilted Flowers, Clean Slate, Stunted Minds and Hard Water, a copyright notice or licensing notice will appear below the logo.
    • The "entertainment" text can be either seen here or removed.
  • On Mars, the logo is tinted dark red.
  • On Lovers To Hate, the logo is tinted carmine.
  • Sometimes, the logo can be superimposed over the ending scene or credits scene of the show.
  • On documentaries or films such as Raw Air, Stephen Carver's Fingers, Dearie's Best, A Soft Adoring, Bad Crowd, Third-Eye: The Story of Rob Meanehue, and The Rise And Fall Of O. Orion, an animated version is seen where the logo blurs in via a watery focus effect and "entertainment" fades in below.
  • An unused version exists that animates similarly to Semmin Productions' current logo, created in 2017 (even with the music, as Semmin was one of the company's co-founders before leaving to start his own). It has never been used on any of the company's output during the time frame.

Technique: A still digital graphic. CGI animation by Filmograph for the animated version.

Audio: Usually none or the closing theme of the show or movie.

Audio Variants:

  • The animated version has the faint sounds of waves crashing and rain pattering.
  • The unused version uses the same music from the Semmin Productions logo.
  • Stunted Minds, a line from the episodes play over the logo continuing from the Sover Productions variant.

Availability: Seen on all of the company's content starting with Zeroes To Negative.

Semmin Productions

Background

This is Alan Semmin's production company, founded in 2003, but would not be active until 2008 after Semmin left Good Quality Entertainment (which he co-founded with James Frackner).

1st Logo (March 2004-May 2, 2008)

TBA.

2nd Logo (June 24, 2008-September 18, 2016)

TBA.

3rd Logo (March 18, 2016-)

Visuals: On a black background, there is dark static all over the screen. A white ring of static expands from a light and glitches all over the screen, with parts of the letters of "SEMMIN" in Arial Black spinning and forming in place. The static disappears as the text "P R O D U C T I O N S" in a smaller Arial fades in below.

Technique: CGI done by Filmograph.

Audio: Sounds of crackling film followed by a tap and a warped rising synth.

Availability: Seen on all of Semmin's programming since 2016, such as L, Hooks, Erin, Regression, Cross My Heart and Chula, among others.

Sover Productions

Background

This is the production company and vanity plate of renowned American-British actress and singer Ellen Sover.

1st Logo (October 13, 1999-)

Visuals: Over a black background, there is a mostly magenta-tinted graphic of U5-Z2-I02-002 (Unified Zepotronic Integration 002 (more iconically known as the Unified Zepotronic Integration drone or U.Z.I.)) from the franchise The Raiders with a diabolical grin on her face, with her right eye replaced with a glitching Solver symbol, and with her undercollar and straitjacket being taken by an italicized Atomic Script "S" as part of the surname "Sover" in white, which extends and takes the place of her arm in various details with three paint strokes (one blue, one green and one red behind it. At the end of her arm, she is pointing her Uzi submachine gun (with the rocket cocker and RXP scope) to the right as she looks over her shoulder. The word "P R O D U C T I O N S" in a spaced out Futura is seen below.

Trivia:

  • This logo is a homage to the character U.Z.I., who Sover provided the voice of throughout the franchise and even in her appearances in the 2025 crossover movie Battle.
  • The graphic of U.Z.I. was designed by franchise creator Liam Vicker and details provided by fellow Palomese inker and graphic artist Arlieejakheau Zaidjat.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, the logo will be zoomed out further than usual.
  • Most of the time, it will share the screen with other logos.
  • A version exists where U.Z.I. is fully colored (the bottom half of her head is white, the eyes are magenta, her hair is purple, and the beanie hat is different shades of gray), but the colors of the text remain the same.
  • Starting with the 2005 version of We Made History, the "Sover" text takes up the whole arm instead and her collar and straitjacket are untouched. Her arm and head are also in a more tactical position, with the gun being pointed more towards the front, causing the text to become diagobally aligned. Her fist is also seen on her right side, a feature that was not present in the original logo.
  • On the film adaptation of Lucky Girl, an animated version is seen where U.Z.I. draws into view and with a miffed expression on her face. She pulls out her Uzi and raises her fist, points it offscreen, and does her grin as her right eye glitches out into the symbol. The logo begins to glitch out dramatically, to which the three paint strokes draw in over her arm as the "Sover" text writes in, along with "P R O D U C T I O N S" fading in below as the animation flashes, freezes and turns magenta. The version animated is the 2005 version.
    • A short version of this exists.
  • On Sover's self-made shows or documentaries, a copyright notice is seen below the logo.

Technique: A still graphic. The animated version uses high-quality 2D animation done by Vicker at C1A1 Animation Studios.

Audio: None or the closing theme of the show.

Audio Variants:

  • The animated version has a swelling dramatic note along with sounds of bullets rattling in the Uzi and sounds of glitching, done by Stevon Williamsand (who composed the soundtracks for the first and second Raiders films).
  • On Stunted Minds, a line from either episode plays over the logo which continues into the proceeding Good Quality Entertainment logo.

Availability:

  • Still seen on all of the company's output that Sover produced or created. Notable examples are Jersey Shore (2003), Sydney, All The Stars, So, About That Woman.., Mom & Son, Underground (2006), Lucky Girl and Stunted Minds.
  • The original logo first appeared on the failed pilot for Pop and the 2005 version made its first appearance on We Made History.
  • The long animated version was only seen on the film adaptation of Lucky Girl. All future films produced by the studio use the next logo in tandem with this one. The short version can be seen on programs released from 2006 to 2007, such as Super Sweet 69, Feelings, and Eternal Dreams (strangely, the remaining seasons from late 2007 to 2010 use the regular version).
    • Farcely, despite Sover serving as a supervising producer, this version (or the regular versions for that matter) does not appear on The Raiders 2.
  • The regular versions also do not appear on the programs Strip! (due to reasonable controversies surrounding the show) and The Bowlers.
  • The alternate version was only seen on the miniseries Cross Me Up, several 2004-2005 episodes of All The Stars, and the final episodes of What To Do?.
  • The zoomed out version can be seen on mostly split-screen airings (mostly Fox or CBS airings of Sydney, All The Stars, Feelings, and The DeVille Legger from 2001 to 2007.
