DNA Productions

Logo

On a tropical background complete with a beach, and a sunset, we see the black, lowercase text "d n a productions" with "d n a" bigger and spaced and "productions" underneath, near the top of the screen, and 2 double helix coconut trees twisting behind a bush. A monkey jumps up from behind the trees with his back turned to us. Then, he turns around, revealing that he has a parietal eye, and waves at us, saying "Hi, I'm Paul!"

hi my name is Paul

Did you know Kendrick Lamar's song in which that he says DNA? It's very epic and he said that because this yep yep yeah - he's still those only good rappers today.

The logos

The 1994 logo has a cartoon picture of a cat that has a chopped off head and the company name and copyright notice underneath and on a white background.

The original 1998 (same year as the Klasky Csupo Splaat) logo featured Helix The Cat, a purple cat with 2 tails twisted forming a DNA looks at us from behind him and blinks 2 times then jumps. This was featured on the Jimmy Neutron pilot episode.

A new logo was released in 2002 with Paul, a three-eyed monkey, popping up and out of the bushes to the right (facing the other way), turning to the audience, and waving while saying “Hi, I'm Paul!”

Other variants were also used. They are:

Courage the Cowardly Dog, Jimmy Neutron: "Junkman Cometh" through "Sink a Sub/Lady Singing News"

2 Pauls said ‘Hi We’re Paul’

and

- Paul forgetting his line and saying “Hi i'm...Line?”

- Instead of Paul turning around, Paul jumps right out of the bushes and Paul forgetting his line again and “Now what did you want me to say again?” in a hyper voice.

- Paul with a mustache and saying “Hola, soy Pablo!” (which translates to "Hi, I'm Pablo" in Spanish.) and after that, his mustache falls off.

- The logo in reverse, making Paul say “!luaP m'I iH”, depending on how you hear it.

- Paul jumps right out of the bushes and tries to say "Hi I'm..." but cuts off shortly and spots at some water, and finishes his sentence and says "...running in the water!" This is the first lost variant Paul won't stay still.

- Paul jumps right out of the bushes and tries saying "Hi I'm..." but cuts off and shouts "Oh, forget it!" and runs away. This is the second lost variant Paul is not standing still.

- Paul jumps right out of the bushes once again and almost said "Hi I'm..." and slaps his nose, saying "Oh, I quit!". This is the last lost variant Paul whacks himself in the face while saying this.

- Paul absent from the logo and an off-screen man softly says "Paul...?"

- A stupid fake variant has Paul weeping and farting in the toilet, exactly like the Toilet Enterprise logo. He burps and poops in the toilet, blocking it.

This logo was used from 2002 to 2006.

Scare factor

1994 version - High to Nightmare; The weird, cartoon cat holding a severed head and its sudden static appearance is WAY too inappropriate to kid. You mustn't watch it, but for some viewers it’s Low for those who are used to it because it’s a funny. 

1998 version - Low to medium. The weird noises might catch you off guard. Due to the fact that the cat has 2 tails, it may be freaky to some viewers, but some may find the cat cute. 

2002 - Normal: None to low. Due to Paul having three eyes and the fact that he can speak, it can scare kids. Some people might find Paul funny or cute.

2 Pauls: Low to medium. The fact that there is now two of them may unnerve a few, but some might find both of them cute.

Bi-Lingual: Low bordering medium. It may scare some unsuspecting viewers, but it's actually funny if you think about it.

Backwards/Reversed: None to low, due to Paul staring at us at the beginning. However, if you listen closely, it sounds like he is saying "Ow! My eye!" that many will find funny, which in that case drops the scare factor to Minimal.

Paul Blooper #1: Minimal to low, due to Paul coming out of nowhere at the beginning. It will surprise unfamiliar viewers.

Paul Blooper #2: Low. Paul (yet again) popping up out of nowhere can still surprise some, but it's funny.

Coffee Break (Where's Paul?): None to minimal, the sudden voiceover saying "Paul?" may catch some off guard.

Fake Variant: None to Low. This logo is funny.

Parodies

In an episode of "The adventures of Carlos the Caterpillar" when Carlos was in a beach, the same music in the DNA productions logo was heard.

An image burn program on a Windows Vista or Windows 7, the same music in the DNA productions logo can be heard.

On the Johnny Test episode “Johnny Applesauce“, or the Curious George movie, it has the same music.

On the episode of Poochini or the Fresh Beat Band of Spies TV show, the same music. Nicknames: "The Demo", "DNA Drive-In", "Pegasus Crashing Into a Rock Formation"
