Vyond GoAnimations

## Introduction

**Notes:**

* This is a dream logo, you **can't** see this in real life!
* Vyond is a real site *(which was also formerly named GoAnimate)*.

### Background

First named GoAnimate Pictures, Vyond GoAnimations is an animated company making movies made by the GoAnimate animation system, and also distributes prints from various movie companies throughout the country. It was founded in 1912 and was headquartered in San Diego, California. They released their first movie *(after 47 years in the making)*, *The Begain*, in 1959. Up until 1979, they didn't have a logo to start or end movies.

In late-1991, artist David Doring created the famous characters that Vyond GoAnimations used from the 90s, half of the 2010s, and 2013 to now, and served as mascots officially in 1994. Doring named the characters Eric, Brian, Kate and Mrs. Read by the time the characters were created. The characters were voiced by David Doring and Sara Jane Sherman from 1994 to 2010, then Louis Becker and Jaclynn Redding from 2010 to 2013, and finally, Mike Brandon and Sarah Vinton as of 2013.

Since the folding of Business Friendly Studios in 2006, as well as a resignation from the said company, they now started to make their own television shows. Vyond GoAnimations bought Salt Cover in 2007.

On March 14, 2018, GoAnimate announced that they will fold Salt Cover into the company to make room for the revival of Business Friendly Studios. For some reason, on March 28th, Business Friendly Studios became an in-name-only division of the company, with 89.9% percent of it belonging to Vyond Blue.

On April 12, 2018, GoAnimate Pictures filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They got out of this by selling international rights to several films to Warner Bros. Pictures and Universal Pictures.

On May 6, 2018, the company acquired Vyond, causing the GoAnimate animation system to rename to Vyond. It caused this movie company to become an animation division of the newly formed Vyond Pictures.

On June 14, 2021, all of Vyond's currently operating companies *(including this one)* were brought under a new holding company: Vyond Media Group. Also, Vyond Media Group started to throw Chinese variants of their logos. Mainly they recolor the text gold, make changes to fit their country and add in orange Chinese text on top of their logo (the saying depends on the logo, like Meow Mix uses The Yummy Food).

## GoAnimate Pictures

### 1st Logo

(1959-)

Nickname: "In-Credit Logo"

Logo: Only an in-credit notice at the start or end of the film. It depends. It usually reads "Vyond GoAnimations Presents" or "A Vyond Picture."

Early Variants:

* Until 1983, with the release of *The Guy Who Got Shot*, the end credit is normally below "THE END".
* Until May 6, 2018, it read "GoAnimate Pictures Presents" or "A GoAnimate Picture". Until 1964, it would sometimes read "GoAnimate Productions Presents" or "GoAnimate Presents" for the opening logo, or "A GoAnimate Production" and "A GoAnimate Presentation" for the closing logo.

Later Variant: Starting in 2006, a byline can be shown below.

FX/SFX: None, or the fading. It depends.

Music/Sounds: The opening/closing theme of the movie or none. It depends.

Availability: Can be seen on every single movie made by the company.

Editor's Note: None.

### 2nd Logo

(1979, 1983-2000)

Logo: On a black background, we see three pieces of paper layered on top of each other with a sticky figure running, flying from the top of the screen. The words "GoAnimate" wiggle in from the right and settle into place. The words "Produced by" or "Distributed by" fade in above, depending on the movie.

 File:GoAnimate Pictures (debut logo).png  FX/SFX: The paper and text.

Music/Sounds: None. In some movies, it's the closing of the movie.

Availability: Rare. Initially debuted on the distributed film *Other Times*. First officially seen on *The Guy Who Got Shot*, and used at the end of films after that. The last two movies to use this logo are *Little Lily* and *The Three Commanders*.

Editor's Note: None.

### 3rd Logo

(1981-1985, 2015)

Nicknames: "Cheap Space", "The Rainbow", "Spacebow"

Logo: On a space background, "GoAnimate Pictures Presents" *(the font and alignment depends on the film)* in yellow with a green outline spins horizontally and settles onto a rainbow. The rainbow then fades out, and the text turns red.

 File:GoAnimate SpaceBow Pictures Logo.png  Variant: On a 2015 episode of *Throwback Thursday*, the logo is animated digitally, and the text reads "GoAnimate Pictures".

FX/SFX: The space background, the rainbow, and the text.

Music/Sounds: None, or the opening to the film.

Music/Sounds Variant: On one movie from 1982 and another from 1984, as well as the mentioned *Throwback Thursday* episode, laser sounds are heard.

Availability: Seen on all main films by the company until 1985. Made an appearance on a 2015 episode of *Throwback Thursday*.

Editor's Note: People would often laugh at this logo, who said that it appeared to be a rip-off of the 1976 New World Pictures logo.

### 4th Logo

(1992, December 17, 1994-January 31, 2004, January 4, 2006-November 25, 2015, September 29, 2017-October 12, 2018, December 25, 2019)

Snapshot 50.pngScreen (1).jpgScreen(1).jpgGoanimate Pictures Home Entertainment (2003)The version used from December 17, 1994 to 1996. Video by Ivan Nikolov.Nicknames: "Comedy World Characters", "Eric Can Dance?", "The GoDance Party!"

Opening Logo: We see, on a black background, the night-vision goggles effect. It then disappears, and then Eric, Brian, Kate, and Mrs. Read slide from all four sides of the screen. Then Eric slides in to the left, followed by Brian, Kate, and Mrs. Read. Then we see them dancing in the center of the screen, with "GOANIMATE PICTURES" above them, and a byline in a green box below them as well.

Closing Logo: Basically the print logo of that time.

Bylines:

* (December 17, 1994-1996, 2003, March 6-May 5, 2018) A News Corporation Company
* (1996-January 31, 2004, January 4, 2006-September 16, 2011, October 12, 2018) A Tori Net Company
* (September 17, 2011-November 25, 2015) A TimeWarner Company
* (July 11, 2012-May 29, 2014, September 29, 2017) No byline. Possibly an editing mistake.
* (May 6-October 12, 2018, December 25, 2019) A Vyond Company

Variants:

* On rare occasions, the night-vision goggles effect is replaced by a fireworks effect.
* There is a shorter version where it just starts with Eric sliding in. Also in this version, the box with the byline is white instead of green, with the Tori Net byline reading "A TORINET COMPANY" whenever that byline was used.
* There is an alternate version where the logo is off-center and the text is in a different font. The top text is in a white box in this variant, and the Tori Net byline is spelled correctly.
* At the end of the miniseries *The Story of GoAnimate (Vyond) Pictures (GoAnimations), Network, and Television*, a still variant is used.
* At the beginning of *Lumpy's First Christmas*, the text now reads "VYOND PICTURES".

FX/SFX: Characters dancing for the opening variant. None for the closing variant *(or the logo scrolling up in the closing credits and it fading out if you want to count it)*.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral dance remix. May have the opening theme play over it.

Music/Sounds Variants:

* Starting in 2006, a re-recorded version of the music was used.
* On *Comedy World: The Movie* and *The Brian Movie 2*, the logo is silent. It was believed to be an error.
* At the end of *The Story of GoAnimate (Vyond) Pictures, Network, and Television*, the closing of the miniseries plays.

Availability: Uncommon. First used on a 1992 promo reel for the company. Debuted officially on *Sara*, which last aired with this logo on TV on February 23, 2001, and can be seen on syndicated prints of *The Sara Show*. The logo was used four times: Its use in the 1992 promo reel, its original run from 1994 to 2000, its second run from 2006 to 2015, and its appearance on *The Story of GoAnimate (Vyond) Pictures, Network, and Television* miniseries. The logo continued to be used on some direct-to-video movies until 2004. The News Corporation byline variant surprisingly appeared on *The Go-Ahead*. The bylineless variant can be spotted on *Caillou Gets Grounded: The Movie*, *I Think*, *The Brian Movie 2*, *Ultimate Logo Reverse Collection*, and *Logo VS Heaven* *(though some prints of the latter two don't have this logo)*. Also appears at the end of credits of movies made by the company up to November 25, 2015, when it was replaced by the closing variant of the 15th logo. The final variant can be seen at the beginning of *Lumpy's First Christmas*. The logo made a surprise appearance *(with the Tori Net byline)* on original prints of the Vyond Archives DVD of *Eric: The Visitor* *(this was quickly fixed)*. It also made another surprise appearance on a 2017 DVD release of *Small Buttons*, though DVD releases of it at that time featured the 9th logo instead.

Editor's Note: The first logo to feature the GoAnimate characters that would remain with the name for the rest of the studio's lifetime. This logo is also a favorite of many, especially GoAnimate/Vyond fans.

### 5th Logo

(1997-2000, 2018, December 25, 2019)

Screen(2).jpgGoAnimate Pictures logo 1997The version used for educational shows from 2007-2012. Video by Wesley Ferguson/Waltwesley7.Nicknames: "Comedy World Characters II", "Eric Can Dance? II", "The GoDance Party! II"

Logo: A still variant of the previous logo, but the text is moved to below the characters and in a different font.

Trivia: This logo was made coinciding with the start of Vyond's television distribution.

Bylines:

* (1997-2000) A Tori Net Company
* (1997-2000) A GoAnimate Kids Channel Company *(for educational shows)*
* (2018) A Vyond Company

Variants:

* There is a variant with blue text.
* On *Camp Dubziz* and *Uh-Oh!*, the logo is bylineless.
* A version that doesn't feature a box for the byline exists.
* On *The Eric Show* episode "Eric's Birthday", the text reads "VYOND PICTURES".

Music/Sounds: Silent or the end theme of the show, but only two times a shortened version of the previous logo's music plays.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on the Vyond original premieres of *Camp Dubziz*, *Road Rash*, and *The Sara Show*, two days after this logo made its debut. Extinct for the variant with blue text. This logo appeared on *The Eric Show* episode "Eric's Birthday" in 2018.

Editor's Note: It may be annoying to some because they've seen it way too many times.

### 6th Logo

(1997, 1999-2004, 2009-April 12, 2018, December 19, 2019-June 13, 2021)

**Main Variants:**

GoAnimate Pictures Logo (1997) Prototype.pngScreen (2).jpgScreen (2.1).jpgGoAnimatePictures2004.pngGoAnimatePictures2000Filmed.pngScreen Shot 2020-01-31 at 4.22.28 PM.pngGoAnimate Pictures Goanimate Network (2004)Video by Shouty the Penguin/Power Animator.**Trailer Variants:**

Captura de tela 2021-12-20 192727.pngCaptura de tela 2021-12-20 192754.pngCaptura de tela 2021-12-20 192811.pngNicknames: "Comedy World Characters III", "Eric Clones", "Baby Erics"

Logo: On a blue background, we see two Erics dancing, with "GoAnimate Pictures" between them.

Variants:

* A prototype version exists, which comprises the four characters standing instead of two Erics dancing, and a different Tori Net byline in white below *(it wouldn't appear regularly until 2001, see below)*.
* There is an animated version. A black background is shown, and the two Erics fly across the screen. Then, the background turns blue and the text fades in.
* Starting in 2001, there is a byline reading "A TORI NET COMPANY". The size of the byline varies.
* On *That Sinking Feeling*, the background is grey and the text is yellow. This was quickly plastered by the 14th logo on reruns and the re-release of the movie. The original DVD has this logo intact with a byline reading "A TIME WARNER COMPANY".
* On some 2004 episodes of *The Eric Show*, a copyright date can be seen.
* There is a strange filmed variant on 35mm Greek prints of *Eric and the Toon Lake Treasure* from 2009.
* **Trailer Variants:** For home video releases, a space door appears at the end. After a second, it disappears, revealing the logo again, but the text is replaced by one of these:
	+ Coming Soon to a Theater/Theatre Near You
	+ Now in Theaters/Theatres
	+ Coming to Rental Stores *(United Kingdom only)*
	+ Coming Soon to Own on DVD and Video
	+ Now on DVD and Video
	+ Coming Soon to Own on DVD
	+ Now on DVD
	+ Feature Presentation
	+ Coming This Christmas (*GoAnimate: The Movie 2* DVD)
	+ Coming Next Year (*Lumpy's First Christmas* DVD)
	+ The text may carry an exclamation point or will sometimes be in all-caps. In rare cases, the text will be in a different font altogether.
* On the DVD releases of *Lumpy's First Christmas*, *GoAnimate: The Movie 2*, and *Weatherstar4000video: The Movie*, as well as current DVD releases of similar films until June 2021, the text reads "Vyond Home Entertainment". The Tori Net byline is also replaced with a Vyond one.

Music/Sounds: Something similar to the 1998 Warner Bros. Pictures 75th Anniversary logo fanfare. May have the opening theme of the movie, or silent.

Availability: Rare, and used on the "GoAnimate Programming for Children" block on Vyond Network in 2009 until it was renamed to "Vyond Chiblock" in 2018. Up until then, it was scarce. Was not intact on *Bright Idea* when it was released on video by Artisan Entertainment. The version with music is extremely rare and can be seen on 2004 episodes of *The Eric Show*. It's unknown if this was used on other movies or shows. The prototype version can be seen on a 1997 rough cut of the 1998 film *Where is My Pudding?* *(which uses the 4th logo instead)* The filmed variant appears on Greek prints of *Eric and the Toon Lake Treasure*, but international releases use the next logo. The VHE variant can be seen on the DVD releases of *Lumpy's First Christmas* and *GoAnimate: The Movie 2*.

Editor's Note: None.

### 7th Logo

(2000-2007, 2010-2013)

Screen (2.3).jpgScreencamping.jpgGoAnimatePictures2005Filmed.pngScreen2012.jpgNicknames: "Comedy World Characters IV", "Eric", "Little Eric, Big Brian", "Little Eric", "Big Brian", "Eric's Ditty"

Logo: In a bedroom, we see a small Eric. After a while, a large Brian appears. We then see the text "GOANIMATE PICTURES".

Trivia: The cels were repainted on *Orange Puff*.

Bylines:

* (2002-2007) A Tori Net Company
* (2012-2013) A GoAnimate Company

Variants:

* On some shows, the logo is on a purple checkered background.
* On *Eric's Minigame Central* for Nintendo GameCube, the logo is still, and only GoAnimate is above. The title music plays.
* On *Eric's Camping Trip*, Eric and Brian are in the night sky and there is a spotlight casting over them.
* Sometimes the background is light blue and the text is dark yellow. Even though the logo was retired in 2003, this variant continued to be used until 2007! This variant was bylineless until 2005 when the byline "A Tori Net company" was added to the logo.
* On 35mm German prints of *Factory* *(a movie that was only released in Australia and Germany)*, the logo is filmed and the first second of the logo is cut off. This variant was also used on 35mm prints of movies from 2001 to 2003 in Italy, Germany, and India.
* On 2010 to 2013 episodes of *Orange Puff*, the characters are in a redesigned bedroom.

Music/Sounds: Either none, the ending theme of the movie or show, or a cute little ditty *(named Eric's Ditty)* on rare occasions.

Availability: No longer current. Can be seen on shows from the era. Was also seen on *Chef Eric* and *Orange Puff*. Also appears on some movies and shows by other Vyond companies. Some of the only shows not to use this logo were shows that have the GoAnimate Network logo at the end and Vyond Network weather forecasts. One show from Vyond Network that contains the logo is *Delphine*, while others contain a newer logo. The logo can be also seen on GoAnimate Studios shows that have been collaborated with GoAnimate Pictures. The logo was plastered on television, but this logo is retained on DVDs of these movies and shows by the company.

Editor's Note: None.

### 8th Logo

(July 2000, March 2002-2015)

GoAnimate Pictures Filmreel Logo (Early Demo Reel).jpgGoAnimate Pictures Logo (July 2000) Prototype.pngGoanimate 2 (90 Years).pngGoanimate 2.pngNicknames: "Where's Eric?", "GoAnimate Filmreel", "Where Are The Characters?", "Eric's Ditty II"

Logo: On a marble background, a film reel fades in with characters from various themes on it. Until the reel disappears, A GoAnimate logo wipes in from the right. As this happens, the background fades to black. The text "P I C T U R E S" fades in.

Bylines:

* (March 2002-2003) "A GoAnimate/Cayby J Company", with "GoAnimate" in its respective font.
* (2003-2007, albeit used sparingly) "A GoAnimate/Cayby J Company"
* (2003-2011) "A Tori Net Company"
* (2011-2015) "A GoAnimate Company"

Variants:

* A prototype version exists where "P I C T U R E S" is instead yellow and in a marker font.
* From March to December 31, 2002, the words "90th Anniversary", in white, fade in with the byline.
* On select films and programs, the logo appears in text form.
* Sometimes, a copyright notice is underneath.
* On *Summercamp Cool*, "P I C T U R E S" is smaller and in a different font.

Music/Sounds: The film reel rolling, a choir version of "Eric's Ditty" when the GoAnimate logo appears, and an explosion when "P I C T U R E S" fades in.

Availability: No longer current. Seen on the end of some movies like *Eric's Slumber Party*, and shows like *The Dylan Show*. The prototype version can be seen on a 2000 rough cut of the 2001 film *Triple Bullets* *(which uses the 6th logo instead)*.

Editor's Note: You'll be annoyed by the lack of Eric and/or the characters.

### 9th Logo

(2005-2014, January 1-April 12, 2018)

Screen (3).jpgGoanimatelogotheericshow.pngGoAnimate pictures theericshowfilmed.pngScreen (4).jpgGoanimate2007logo.pngGoanimate 2010 Logo.pngGoanimate2011logocopyright.pngGoAnimate pictures EricMaker.pngNicknames: "Comedy World Characters V", "Warner Bros. Theme", "GoAnimate, Woo-Hoo, This Is My Place", "Eric Can Dance? III". "The GoDance Party! III"

Logo: On an orange background, we zoom out to see the same characters from the 4th and 5th logos. We see the text GOANIMATE PICTURES in black.

Early Variant: For the logo's first official year, the logo is zoomed-in.

Variants:

* On select films and shows released between 2011 and 2014, such as *Eric's Summer Special*, the byline "A Time Warner Company" with a line above was added below the logo.
* On *Michael's Trip*, the logo is still.
* A shorter version exists on television shows.
* Sometimes, this logo would have copyright on the bottom.
* *The Eric Show* features the early variant, but with Elick replacing Kate and Mrs. Read, and the text is in white. There's also no zoom-out.
	+ *The Brian and Steve Show* also uses this variant, with Brian and Steve replacing Elick.
	+ On 35mm Australian prints of *The Eric Show*, the logo is filmed. This was used until 2008.
* The logo is cut short *(even shorter than the shorter one)* on the failed pilot called *One of Us Can Save Kids*.
* On the *Mo on the Go* episode "Leonardo's Computer", Pigeon, Piggie, Gerald, Leonardo, and Knuffle Bunny replace the characters.
* On *Eric Maker*, Eric is in a builder's outfit.

FX/SFX: Characters dancing.

Music/Sounds: Something similar to the Warner Bros. logo used at that time.

Music/Sounds Variants:

* The zoomed-in version, *The Eric Show* variant, *The Brian and Steve Show* variant, and the "Leonardo's Computer" variant *(all made in 2005)* have Eric, Elick, Steve, or Piggie saying "GoAnimate! Woo-hoo, this is my place!" The jingle isn't heard in this variant.
* On one rerun of *The Sara Show*, the logo has the 1st GoAnimate Studios logo's music due to sloppy editing.
* One version of the television version has the last note of the tune shorter than usual.

Availability: No longer current. Can be seen in shows and movies of the era (such as *One Sister and a Baby*). This also appeared on the television series *The One Lane*.

Editor's Note: None.

*After the next logo was introduced, the Tori Net company had been mostly discontinued. On September 17, 2011, the GoAnimate Pictures company was bought by TimeWarner (now Warner Bros. Discovery).*

### 10th Logo

(2006-April 12, 2018, December 20, 2019)

Untitled (3).pngGoAnimate Pictures Logo (Early 2012) Prototype.pngUntitled.pngUntitled (5).pngHalloweengoanimate.pngGoanimateCHRISTMAS.pngCeovonyeofgopi.pngGoanimate 2015-2019 Logo.pngNicknames: "Comedy World Characters VI", "Celebration", "100 Years", "Special Logo", "The GoDance Party! IV"

Logo: On a city with a banner reading "GoAnimate Pictures 100th Anniversary", we see many GoAnimate characters. Fireworks are popping. A gold cloud zooms in to reveal a gold background and zooms to see the same characters as the 4th, 5th, and 9th logos. A hand slides in the text "100th Anniversary", and a byline below that.

Bylines:

* (2006-April 12, 2018) "A GoAnimate Company"

Early Variant: From 2006 to September 17, 2011, the logo pops in instead of zooming out.

Variants:

* On the second season of *The Eric Show*, we see a normal city, then fireworks flash off and the logo animates as normal.
* On movies released from 2006 to December 31, 2011, as well as movies made after May 17, 2013, there is a version where "100th Anniversary" is gone. Look for this variant on *Comedy Goes Wild*.
	+ A version of the above with a smaller, more generic byline exists, which is more common on TV shows.
	+ On *Comedy World*, the characters are holding balloons.
* On *Sara 3*, the regular "100th Anniversary" text and byline are in black, with the former in a Helvetica font.
* Sometimes, the logo is still.
* On *Eric's Second Minigame Central* for Wii, Wii U, PS3, and XBOX 360, there are no effects. Also, this logo is still. This is not on the PS4 and XBOX ONE versions, as it has the 12th logo instead.
* On *Eric's Halloween*, Eric is in a ghost outfit, and the text is red and blue, plus Eric is closer to the screen. Also in this variant, the byline is the typeface used in the alternate 2006 variant, but it has moved to the bottom of the screen, and is bigger.
* There is an extremely rare variant on an episode of *Comedy World* where above GoAnimate Pictures, it says "CELEBRATING THE WORLD NOT ENDING AND 100 YEARS OF". It is usually plastered on syndication and DVD by the normal logo.
* On *An Eric Christmas*, the logo is bylineless. "MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM" is above "GoAnimate Pictures" and the logo is snowing.
* On movies released from January 1 to May 17, 2013, there is a version where "Celebrating Over 100 Years" is seen in the text. It is in a darker shade than usual for reasons unknown.
* A rare short version was made with only the characters and text already formed. This was seen on season 1 of *Bedroom Antics*. However, season 2 has the normal logo.
	+ For 2017, the short version was used for the majority of their movies, but only some feature the longer version.
* One variant has some white birds on an ocean instead of a city, and the final logo is similar to the 1994 logo.
* A variant with the GoAnimate logo from the 8th logo exists.

FX/SX: Characters dancing and fireworks.

Music/Sounds: Silent, or the opening theme of the movie.

* On rare occasions, one of these tunes will play that are similar to a movie logo's theme:
	+ (2006-September 17, 2011) The Paramount Pictures 2011 logo.
	+ (September 18, 2011-July 8, 2014) The Warner Bros. Pictures 1999 logo.
	+ (July 9, 2014-April 12, 2018) The Universal Pictures 1990 logo.
* (2016-2017) A synth tune.
* On some films, it uses the GoAnimate theme, which first debuted in *GoAnimate: The Movie*s intro.

Availability: Uncommon, bordering on rare. This logo made its debut on the *GoAnimate 2000* (also known as *GoAnimate Remastered*) series, which is from 2006, and the early variant was beautifully restored on the 2012 DVD and Blu-ray releases of the *GoAnimate 2000* films, distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment; ironically enough, current reruns of this series aren't so lucky; except for "Eric's Great Adventure", this logo was plastered with either the Warner Bros. Television, ABC Studios, or the later GoAnimate Pictures logos on reruns. *Robyn's Journey* kept the "Over 100 Years" logo when it was released on DVD, so you can see it on there. On Boomerang, *Chef Eric* and *Comedy World* have this logo intact. The "100th Anniversary" and "Over 100 Years" variant was seen on *Comedy World* with balloons; these variants were sadly plastered by the previous logo! These variants thankfully were restored for DVD and Blu-ray in 2016. The rare short version can be seen on *Bedroom Antics* for season 1, but replaced by the 12th logo on the DVD release *GoAnimate: An Eric Specialty with Eric and Brian and Bedroom Antics*. It was restored on Blu-ray releases, though. Currently retained on DVDs.

Editor's Note: This logo is a favorite among fans of GoAnimate.

### 11th Logo

(October 22, 2011)

Nicknames: "Where Are The Characters? II", "Where's Eric? II", "In-Credit GoAnimate"

Logo: On a white background, we see two lines of text containing "GoAnimat" and "e Pictures", both in a big orange serif font.

 File:Goanimate2011logo.png  FX/SFX/Music/Sounds: None.

Music/Sounds/Variant: On some prints, it's the closing theme of the movie.

Availability: Only seen on *The Bob and Blueberry Movie* *(airings on Vyond Network plaster this logo with either the 9th logo, the first GoAnimate Studios logo, the 1st or 3rd Vyond GoAnimations logos, or the PPYBEN logo instead)*.

Editor's Note: Same as the 8th logo. According to the DVD commentary, the logo was actually produced at the last minute by an editor for the film, resulting in a sloppy design *(The "e" in "GoAnimate" is to the left of "Pictures" because the editor didn't bother to check)*.

### 12th Logo

(May 18, 2012-2016)

Goanimate1002.pngGoanimate.pngGoanimate is hungry.pngGoAnimateBedroom.jpgNicknames: "Comedy World Characters VIII", "Eric Pointing", "Eric Alone", "Where Are The Characters? III"

Logo: On a green background, we see Eric walk in, before pointing at the screen. Below him is the text "GoAnimate Pictures".

Variants:

* Two font versions exist: one features the text in Arial font, another features the text in Accidental Presidency.
* On the second season of *The New Adventures of Camp Dubziz*, it's still. It also appears on *Eric's Little Brother Experiences*, *Schoolhouse* *(United Kingdom only)* and *You are Your Brother* as well.
* "CELEBRATING 100 YEARS" in yellow can be seen below in 2012 movies and programs.
* "CELEBRATING OVER 100 YEARS", also in yellow, can be seen below in 2013 movies and programs.
* The network, Nickelodeon, normally edits out GoAnimate Pictures logos. *Rich Dad* keeps this logo intact, except they put in an "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" line below "GoAnimate Pictures".
* On direct-to-video releases, Eric is replaced by a square and fast food hamburgers are inside. You can hear Eric (who is offscreen) saying "Yum, yum, yum." The text is larger in this variant.
* On the final season of *Bedroom Antics*, the logo has a rainbow background, and Eric says "Huh?".
* On reruns of *The Sara Show* of the era, Brian, Kate, and Mrs. Read come in and say to the logo, "Screw you, Eric! Screw you! We're with you, for God's sake!", then they kick it, however, Brian stubs his toe in the process. They jump off-screen as Brian holds his foot while howling in pain. The music is "Eric's Ditty" due to their appearances. Look for this variant on GoAnimate Adults.
* On *Babysitting*, we see the text fade in. Then Eric walks in and points like the normal variant. While all of this is happening, "Eric's Ditty" is heard.
* On *Mrs. Suzy*, Suzy *(main character of said show)* is on the logo near Eric. On the episode "Accident and Emergency", they are dressed in doctor and nurse outfits.

FX/SFX: Eric walking and pointing. Sometimes a still.

Music/Sounds: Two trumpet notes.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the *Mrs. Suzy* episode "Accident and Emergency", it's silent.

Availability: Uncommon. Can occasionally be seen on PBS and Vyond Adults. The rerun *Sara Show* variant is seen on the last episode of *The Eric Show* but "for God's sake!" was taken out, though their mouths sync it. Also seen on the final season of *Bedroom Antics*, which is so rare that it was plastered on DVD and Blu-Ray releases by the 14th logo. Also seen on *Eric's Little Brother Experiences*, *Schoolhouse* *(which was only shown in the United Kingdom)* and *You are Your Brother*. The normal variant is retained on the *Comedy World* Season 8 DVD. Also retained on the *Eric's Little Brother Experiences* and *Mrs. Suzy* DVDs. This logo was used in tandem with the 14th logo until its retirement. The logo also made a surprise appearance on the *Sprout House* episode "Snug and Shug", even though all other episodes used the 14th logo.

Editor's Note: Same as the 8th logo.

### 13th Logo

(May 10, 2013)

Nickname: "Comedy World Characters VII"

Logo: On a green background, we see a white jack-in-a-box, with the front having the GoAnimate Pictures logo. When the jack-in-a-box finishes winding, the top pops up with the four characters yelling "GoAnimate Pictures!".

 File:Goani1.png  FX/SFX: Nice animation for 2013.

Music/Sounds: A jack-in-a-box fanfare (*Pop Goes the Weasel*), then party blowers and fireworks.

Availability: Very rare. Seen on only one episode of *The Brian Show*.

Editor's Note: This is a nicely done logo, shame it was only used once.

*By this time, GoAnimate Pictures had billions of responses to return the characters. GoAnimate Pictures and its employees did. Also, TimeWarner regained control of all GoAnimate names and properties, but Tori Net still owned the original films. In which, TimeWarner decided to acquire Tori Net from News Corporation. In 2015, Comcast bought the company and made a huge profit from it. In November 2016, the company began to be owned by TimeWarner again after almost being bought out by NBCUniversal.*

### 14th Logo

(December 18, 2013-November 25, 2015)

Hqdefault (1).jpgGoAnimate Pictures Logo (April 2015).pngNicknames: "Comedy World Characters IX", "The Characters' Return!", "Flags With Letters", "Eric Can Dance? IV", "The GoDance Party! V", "Eric's Ditty III", "The GoAnimate Flag"

Logo: On a gold background, we see a flag wave with the letter G on it. Then we see a flag wave with the letter O on it. The entire thing keeps going until we zoom out from the last flag to see that the flags have spelled GOANIMATE. Then "Pictures" fades in on a blank flag. The familiar characters walk in. They look around, then start dancing. The flags stop waving. The byline "A Time Warner Company" appears below. The characters wink one time.

Variants:

* A shorter version of the logo exists.
* On *The Funnies* and *Cute Kittens*, a Scottish kitten walks in, mutters to himself, then jumps on the characters until they are too weak to move. He then looks at us and meows then says "No more of this crap! Just end the show!".
	+ On *The Funnies* episode "The $1,000,000 Pet Shop" and the *Cute Kittens* episode "Bouncy Fun/Cats and Dogs" *(both shows' pilots)*, after "Just end the show!" he says "Poor Eric...". As he says that, Eric gets back up, and after the cat says "Poor Eric...", Eric runs and yells, "NO!" and crashes into the camera, smashing the screen. Then he falls off, and we see whatever logo would appear at the end.
* Starting in April 2015, a white GoAnimate logo flag and "PICTURES" in an orange flag replaces the original flags, and "A Comcast Company, A Division of Tori Net" appears as the byline, due to Comcast owning GoAnimate and Tori Net reviving.
* On episodes of *Like That House*, the family's cat replaces the characters.
* On some episodes of *Gary and Friends*, Gary replaces the characters.
* On the UK release of *The Urgent Murderer*, the characters are killed. A blood drip falls to start the opening credits.
* On the US release of *The Urgent Murderer*, the logo slowly zooms in, then Eric grabs red paint and shouts "BOO!" scaring two of the characters away. Eric takes a drip off, starting the opening credits.

Music/Sounds: Two drumbeats, then a trumpet fanfare, then "Eric's Ditty". Sometimes, it's the opening theme of the movie or show.

Availability: No longer current. Can be seen on GoAnimate-produced films and shows on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and more. Can also be seen on reruns of the *GoAnimate 2000* *(plastering the 10th logo)* and GoAnimate '90s series on the Vyond Network. Later episodes of *The Sara Show* also have this logo as well. Can also be seen on *Making That Blockbuster*, *Like That House*, *Gary and Friends*.

Editor's Note: None.

*By this time, TimeWarner was beginning to try to protect GoAnimate from a buyout from HTML5. TimeWarner won, but they had to gain thousands of dollars to save it from HTML5's buyout. About a year later, Comcast (which had recently bought itself from Star TV) made an agreement with TimeWarner that GoAnimate would be a joint venture between the two companies.*

### 15th Logo

(November 26, 2015-April 12, 2018)

Nicknames: "Comedy World Characters X", "8-bit Eric", "Eric Holding the Flag", "Eric's Ditty IV", "The GoAnimate Flag II", "CGI Eric", "The CGI GoAnimate Flag"

Logo:

* Opening Variant: On a plain white background, Eric walks in, and takes a large toolbox in. He opens it, digs through, and holds up a large CGI model of the flag from the previous logo, turning him into a CGI version of himself. Eric winks and says "GoAnimate!" He then walks out.
* Closing Variant: The print logo of GoAnimate Pictures at the time *(which is the opening variant in a box, excluding the toolbox, and "GoAnimate Pictures" is below the box. The Comcast/TimeWarner byline is below that)*. File:Screen(4).jpg

Trivia: The animation program used to make the model, RenderMan, was used by Pixar to make *Tin Toy* and many other shorts, as well as movies like *Toy Story*.

Bylines:

* (November 25, 2015-August 2016) "A Comcast Company"
* (September 2016-April 12, 2018) "A TimeWarner Company"

Variants:

* On shows, the logo is shortened down to just Eric saying "GoAnimate!", which is more common.
* There is also a non-CGI variant, but it only appears on reruns of *The Funnies*.
* On *Apocalypse Massacre*, Eric is holding a chainsaw as well as the flag.

FX/SFX: For the opening variant, the CGI model, and Eric's animation. For the closing variant, none, unless you count it scrolling up with the credits at the end of them and it fading out to be FX.

Music/Sounds: For the opening variant, an 8-bit rendition of "Eric's Ditty" followed by Eric's line. In the short version, it's just the last four notes. For the closing variant, the ending theme of the movie.

Music/Sounds Variant: At the end of *The Eric Movie* *(an unusual variation in which the opening and closing roles are reversed)*, "Eric's Ditty" is not heard and in its place are natural sound effects.

Availability: No longer current. Mostly on new episodes of the BBC shows *P.S. 3538* and *Sticks n' Stones*. Also shown on episodes of *Comedy World* and *Comedy Land*, as well as the new NBC shows *Apocalypse Massacre* and *GoNinjago*, which are co-produced with Vyond. The closing variant continued to be used until April 12, 2018.

Editor's Note: None.

Note: The picture on the right is the non-CGI variant.

### 16th Logo

(November 2016?, unused)

Nicknames: "Comedy World Characters XI", "Eric Can Dance? V", "The GoDance Party! VI"

Logo: On a green background, a CGI GoAnimate logo flips to the left, while the text "PICTURES" zooms out. The characters dancing fades in, then a square forms in the GoAnimate logo. A flash occurs, and the TimeWarner byline fades in. The logo shines.

 File:GoAnimate Pictures (2016) Unused.png  FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Unused. The only source of its existence is a leaked rough cut of *Just a Little More*. The film itself uses the previous logo.

Editor's Note: None.

### 17th Logo

(January 1-April 28, 2017)

Nicknames: "Comedy World Characters XII", "CGI Eric II", "Another Celebration", "105 Years", "Eric's Ditty V"

Logo: A black screen saying "Celebrating 105 Years of..." in the Dom Bold font appears. Then we see Eric in CGI saying "Surprise!" as the background becomes white. Balloons fly up and confetti flies everywhere, while the name and the byline fade in below.

 File:Screen(6).jpg  Trivia: Despite the logo debuting in 2017, it was actually made *(and finished)* in 2016.

Variants:

* On *GoAnimate Pictures' 105th Birthday Spectacular*, *Comedy World*, and *Comedy Land*, Eric is not in CGI and balloons are casting over him.
* A rare version exists where the byline is not there. This is probably due to an error.
* Shortened versions have just Eric saying "Surprise!" and a short version of "Eric's Ditty".
* On *The New Road Rash Show*, there is no confetti and the background is blue *(a reference to the 6th logo)* This only appears on the series premiere; all other episodes with this logo use the normal variant.

FX/SFX: Eric in his CGI form.

Music/Sounds: Silence on the first part. After Eric says his lines, party sounds are heard. A remix of "Eric's Ditty" can be heard too.

Availability: No longer current. It was first seen on *GoAnimate Pictures' 105th Birthday Spectacular*.

Editor's Note: None.

Note: The picture on the right is the non-CGI variant.

*On April 28, 2017, this logo was discontinued. The company was later bought out by The Logan Company. All of its assets were liquidated into The Logan Company. At this time, fans started to miss the original characters. On October 1, 2017, The Logan Company announced GoAnimate Pictures would return in January 2018, owned by both TimeWarner and Comcast.*

### 18th Logo

(November 1, 2017, March 29-April 12, 2018)

Nicknames: "Comedy World Characters XIII", "The Nine Network Logo That Isn't Nine Network", "The Green Logo", "The GoDance Party! VII"

Logo: Same as the Nine Network 1999 logo, but it has a green background with sparkles and the words "A GoAnimate Pictures production in association with Nine Network" is replacing the text. The characters dancing replace the 9. The TimeWarner/Comcast byline and copyright info is below all of that.

 File:GoAnimate Nine Network Pictures.png  Variants:

* On reruns of *The Funnies*, the characters are replaced by Shrek and the music is "All Star" by Smash Mouth *(Shrek's signature song)*.
* On one trailer for *The Thing That Almost Ate The Planet*, the background is black, the characters are replaced by the GoAnimate logo, and below that are "PICTURES" and the TimeWarner byline.
	+ On another trailer, the logo is gold.

FX/SFX: Characters dancing.

Music/Sounds: Same as the Nine Network 1999 logo.

Availability: No longer current. It first appeared on *The Thing That Almost Ate The Planet*, and appeared on 2018 *Comedy Land* episodes airing on Nine Network.

Editor's Note: This logo can be okay to some.

### 19th Logo

(January 4-May 5, 2018)

Nicknames: "Comedy World Characters XIV", "Classic Characters", "The GoDance Party! VIII", "Eric Can Dance? VI", "Eric's Ditty VI"

Logo: We see the characters run up onto the grass. The characters then start dancing. Then Eric looks at the screen and winks. The name and byline fade in below.

 File:Screen1.jpg  Variants:

* Once, the byline was written so that it implied that Comcast owns TimeWarner. After some speculation, Comcast owning TimeWarner was confirmed false.
* A more common, shorter version of this logo exists, where the logo is cut down just to the last three seconds. This can be found on *Comedy Land*. However, the long version was used when it first appeared.
* Some movies and shows have the characters on a white background.
* On *Tales Of Orange Puff*, the characters get hit with a guitar, where the classic "KABONG!" sound comes in.
* On *You're in GoAnimate, Charlie Brown*, Charlie Brown and Snoopy are between Kate and Mrs. Read, along with Peanuts-style flirty music. Eric is very disappointed, and he says to them, "Get out of the logo!" Charlie Brown then says "Good grief!"

FX/SFX: The characters dancing.

Music/Sounds: A nice classical guitar version of "Eric's Ditty".

Availability: No longer current. First seen on an episode of *Comedy Land*.

Editor's Note: Many people love this logo as it is homage to the classic characters.

## Vyond Pictures

### 1st Logo

(May 6, 2018-December 16, 2019)

Nicknames: "Comedy World Characters XV", "Squares", "Eric Can Dance? VII", "The GoDance Party! IX", "Eric's Ditty VII"

Logo: On a white background, we see multiple squares in different colors and sizes, zooming, left and right, up and down, and everywhere, before morphing into the characters dancing. "Vyond Pictures" then zooms in and the logo settles.

Bylines:

* (November 2, 2018-May 6, 2019) A Division of PPYBEN Pictures, A WarnerMedia Company
* (May 7-December 16, 2019) A PPYBEN Company

Variant: On DVD and Blu-Ray releases of *Fish Food*, the background fades to the opening scene. "Presents" fades below the text, and the logo turns into the title of the movie.

Availability: First seen on their revamped website, and on the trailer for *A Mishap in the Elevator*. The logo officially debuted on the film itself, and was seen on films by the company at the time.

Editor's Note: Many people weren't expecting the name change.

### 2nd Logo

(January 10, 2019)

Nicknames: "Fish Fry", "Eric's Ditty VIII"

Logo: On a white background, we see Eric looking at a fish in a fish-tank. The fish turns into a French fry and the water in the fish-tank turns to ketchup. Eric is excited, so he eats the fry. He turns into a fish and the background turns blue while the fish-tank full of ketchup turns into the Vyond logo. The fish swims to the "O" in "VYOND". "Pictures" in blue fades in under "VYOND". We zoom up to the logo. The PPYBEN byline *(same as the previous logo)* fades in. Then, the background turns to the opening scene of the movie and the Vyond logo zooms out while "Pictures" turns into "Vyond Pictures Presents". Then, it changes to the title of the movie.

FX/SFX: Eric eating the fish.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, but when the fish turns to the fry, the music stops. When Eric eats the fry, a different electric guitar version of "Eric's Ditty" was heard.

Availability: Only seen on *Fish Food*. DVD and Blu-Ray releases have the logo replaced with the previous logo's variant. This logo can be watched on YouTube.

Editor's Note: The logo is strange in many ways.

### 3rd Logo

(November 21, 2019-December 31, 2021)

Screen Shot 2020-01-31 at 4.38.04 PM.pngScreen Shot 2020-01-31 at 4.38.55 PM.pngScreen Shot 2020-01-31 at 4.23.20 PM.pngScreen Shot 2020-01-31 at 4.25.10 PM.pngVyond Pictures 2021.pngVyond real.jpegVyond Pictures logo (November 21, 2019-)Video by Wesley Ferguson/ComboPandaFan100Logo: On a black background, a white circle emerges in the middle of the screen. The circle emerges and fills the screen. During this transition, the Vyond logo in orange writes itself from various polygons. After that, the word "Pictures" fly up from the bottom and settle.

Bylines:

* (November 21, 2019-July 15, 2020) A PPYBEN Company
* (June 14-December 31, 2021):
	+ A Vyond Company *(North American releases)*
	+ A GoAnimate Global Company *(international releases)*

Variants:

* A still 2D variant of this logo *(which, until June 2021, was shown without the byline)* exists on trailers and at the end of shorts.
* The variant above also appears on programs produced with ComboPandaFan100 and on the CPF100 Channel, like *The Tech Adventure* and *Denise Jefferson*. Below the logo reads "in association with ComboPandaFan100".
* A Christmas variant exists. The background is red, the text *(except for the Vyond logo)* is green, and the byline is replaced by "Merry Christmas!"
* On movies made from June 14 to December 31, 2021, the Vyond logo precedes this logo.
	+ There is an early version of the above variant where the Vyond byline is in a different color and font.

FX/SFX: Nice animation.

Music/Sounds: A nice, soft piano piece.

Music/Sounds Variants:

* On trailers, the opening theme of the trailer is heard.
* At the end of shorts, the logo is silent.

Availability: The variant can be seen on trailers and at the end of shorts, such as *The Plan* and *Lumpy's First Christmas*. The full version debuted on *The Anderson Family Movie 2*. This also appears on movies like *Eyeball City* *(a movie by Miracle Star Studios)*. The version with the prototype byline can be seen on *Eric's Spooky Halloween*. Used in tandem with the next logo until December 31, 2021.

Editor's Note: Not as impressive as the Studios counterpart, but at least it works.

### 4th Logo

(December 1, 2021-)

Vyond Pictures 2021 December Rebrand.pngCaptura de tela 2022-01-02 124447.pngCaptura de tela 2022-01-02 124447 (1).pngVyond Pictures (2022-) GoAnimate Global byline.pngNickname: "Comedy World Characters XVI", "Eric Can Dance? VIII", "The GoDance Party! X", "Eric's Ditty IX"

Logo: The Vyond logo transitions to a blue/purple-gradient background. A new Vyond logo *(until December 31, 2021, it was the same as the previous logos)* with "P I C T U R E S" zooms out with an orange trail. Then, the familiar characters walk in. They look around, then start dancing. The byline appears below. The characters wink one time.

Bylines:

* A Vyond Company *(North American releases)*
* A GoAnimate Global Company *(international releases, 2018 logo version only)*

Variant: Like the previous logo, a Christmas variant exists. "Merry Christmas from" is above the Vyond logo.

FX/SFX: A mix of 2D and CGI animation, which blend in efficiently.

Music/Sounds: A five-note violin tune that echoes, followed by a beautifully scored rendition of "Eric's Ditty".

Music/Sounds Variants:

* The version with the old Vyond logo has the music not as flourished or grand.
* Like the previous logo, the opening theme can be heard at the start of trailers.

Availability: Current. It debuted on the HBO Max original movie *Eric Vs. Evil Eric.*, then used in tandem with the previous logo until the end of 2021. Also used on 2021 episodes of the rebooted *Comedy World* series, and the Christmas variant is used on *A Brand-Spanking New Comedy World Christmas Special*. Even though the logo changed in January 2022, the 2018 logo variant appeared on international prints *Toppolino*, after the 2021 Vyond logo *(US prints instead use the Vyond Studios logo)*.

Editor's Note: A much more fulfilling and worthy effort from Vyond this time around, with more realistic effects, better animation, a new fanfare, and the return of the classic ditty, all of which makes this logo an appropriate successor to the previous logo.
