Johnson Cartoon Studios (Johnsonverse)/AVID page

Johnson Cartoon Studios is the animation department of Johnson Studios. It was founded in 1920.
===1st Logo(September 18, 1926 - June 14, 1968)===
Opening Title: We see the Johnson Studios globe logo, with the words "JOHNSON CARTOON STUDIOS" on it.
Variants:
* As time went on, its animation became more refined.
* Starting in 1934, the logo was also seen in full color, with a dark blue background.
* In 1953, a widescreen variant was made, and was used for the remainder of the logo's run.
Closing Title: On a colored background, we see the words "THE END", with "A JOHNSON CARTOON" below. Beginning in 1932, the font was changed.
FX/SFX: Live action model work.
Music/Sounds: The opening of the Johnsontoons.
Availability: Common. It was used in Johnsontoons from its 1926 debut until 1968.
===2nd Logo(October 18, 1968 -)===
Opening Title: We see a blue field. It zooms out to reveal the stylized "Blue J" logo for Johnson Industries, which rotates to its usual position, albeit a little faster than in the standard Johnson Studios logo. The word "JOHNSON" fades in below, in Clarendon. Chocodile appears from behind the J in his tuxedo, doing a Vanna-esque pose, before leaning on it and winking.
Variants: 
**For television series, the logo is shortened to just the end part, with the word "PRESENTS" in white below, with the closing variant simply having Chocodile winking.
**There is a variant with Cherridile, seen only in the 1972 short "Mmm... Cherries".
**For films released during the Phil Stacker years, the word "JOHNSON" is in ITC Avant Garde instead.
Closing Title: Same as the first logo.
Trivia: Chocodile was animated entirely by his creator, Randy Perkins. Perkins considered it one of his personal best works due to the lush and detailed animation.
FX/SFX: Live action model work mixed with traditional animation.
Music/Sounds: A "comedic" version of the second half of the 1968 Johnson Studios theme composed by Cal Johnson, and Chocodile (voiced by Mel Blanc) saying "And now, on with the show!" as he poses; this line is typically said before the first cartoon on Chocodile and Friends. As of 2020, Blanc's voice is still used, even after his 1989 death.
Music/Sounds Variants: 
* The "And now, on with the show!" line is replaced with a foreign-language equivalent for international releases, provided by Chocodile's voice actor in that country.
*On Johnsontoons shorts, an extension of the series' theme plays over the logo, which segues into the main theme. Also, in the "Mmm... Cherries" variant, Cherridile (voiced by Mae Questel) asks, "Isn't Chocodile supposed to be in this logo?". An offscreen voice (provided by Stan Freberg) responds, "He's stuck in traffic. Besides, this is your short, not his". Cherridile says, "Oh, alright" and says the line.
* The variant seen on Chocodile's Cool Movie uses a synthesized version of the theme.
Availability: Common. First seen on the 1968 Johnsontoons short "Pests? I Ain't Afraid of No Pests!" starring Chocodile. The normal fanfare was first used in the film Chocodile on the Run, released that same year, and has been seen on every Johnsontoons short ever since. Also seen on the end of many animated television series.
