Summer 2007

The Summer 2007 era of Cartoon Network (internally known as Summer or Summer Reface) refers to its sixth branding period, beginning in May 29, 2007 and lasting until September 13, 2007, replacing the CN City and Yes! eras respectively.
==History==
On February 9, 2007, due to the Boston bomb scare incident, Jim Samples stepped down from his position as president of Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. The incident revolved around guerilla marketing for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters for its theatrical release, where LED displays of the Mooninites placed around the city were being mistaken for IEDs by local police. Stuart Snyder was named his replacement on May 2, 2007.
By the time the Summer 2007 rebranding hit, Cartoon Network made some changes to its schedule, including the discontinuation of the Fridays and Miguzi blocks and the rebranding of Cartoon Theatre to Movie Madness.
The Summer 2007 branding began on May 29, 2007, following a month long retheming to promote the Invaded event, ending the use of the CN City and Yes! eras entirely. Although it was commissioned by Jim Samples, this era was the first to air under the direction of Stuart Snyder.
On July 6, 2007, Adult Swim took over the Friday late-night slot occupied by reruns of Cartoon Network shows and burn-off anime programming, expanding the block to 7 days a week for the first time ever, while Cartoon Network gains the 10:30pm slot on weeknights.
===Programming===
No new programming premiered during the Summer 2007 era, unless one counts the official premieres of Storm Hawks and Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl to be new. Most of the shows that were commonplace during the Yes! era continued to air during the Summer 2007 era, such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Class of 3000 and Ben 10.
The Summer 2007 era was centered around the Summer @ Seven block, where premieres of Cartoon Network original series and other acquisitions aired every weeknight at 7:00pm. Also introduced in Summer 2007 is the weekday morning Funny for Your Face block, hosting reruns of Cartoon Network comedy series and Movie Madness, the network's marquee movie presentation block replacing Cartoon Theatre (Movie Madness also aired The New Scooby-Doo Movies, which, despite its title, is actually a series). By the end of the brand's era, Fried Dynamite would be introduced, becoming the permanent replacement to the Fridays block, while its Saturday morning equivalent, the Dynamite Action Squad would take over the network's Saturday morning lineup.
==On-air identity==
In terms of its short lived identity, bumpers saw abstract elements colored in gradients of red, yellow, green and blue with additional theming for the summer, such as waves and splatters that reveal the Cartoon Network logo. Several bumpers also featured live-action footage of children swimming in the pool, or in case of the Funny for Your Face block, children laughing. The Cartoon Network logo also had a secondary version that was used in this era featured in select bumpers replacing the standard Eagle Bold font with Buxus. The soundtrack associated with this era was performed by Cee Lo Green, with "Get Away". Additional elements were featured in Up Next bumpers, from triangles to stripes and lines.
==Transition==
As this was considered temporary branding, the Summer 2007 era aired for the last time on September 13, 2007, with its replacement, Fall Is Just Something That Grown-Ups Invented, airing the following day.
