Logos[]
1st logo (1983-1985, 1992)[]
On a dark blue background, a circle of seventeen white stars moves down with an orange trail and retracts its trail as two trailing filmstrip outlines move into place and retract their trails. The stars flash and turn red as a blue dog with shaggy fur (Bidu/Blu, a character from Mauricio's Turma da Mônica comic book series) puts his paws on the bottom row of stars and barks four times, moving as he say "Bark, Bark, Bark, Bark!" . He then settles in the stars with his head showing and smiling at us and the top zooms out. "ESTÚDIOS MAURICIO DE SOUSA", in Mauricio's handwriting font, moves in as a blue trail and places itself in orange as it's trail moves away. "APRESENTAM" in white then appears letter-by-letter below.
Variants[]
- A text only, in-credit variant exists on O Natal De Todos Nos.
- On Chico Bento, Óia a Onça!, the logo is abridged.
2nd logo (1985-1986)[]
On a black background, the text "Em co-produção com" appears letter by letter, then 16 yellow outlines of stars spin and zoom out with a residue effect and settle in the center as they fill in with yellow. They flash and a more jarring version of Bidu/Blu's head fades in. "MAURICIO DE SOUSA PRODUÇÕES" is wiped in with a light. Bidu/Blu then raises his ears and blinks a couple of times.
3rd logo (1992-1997)[]
On a tan or black background with a floor of Mauricio De Sousa.Produções logos, 19 stars fly around and rotate as the camera rotates. A giant ray of light zooms down, forming the name and a yellow circle. The stars stop rotating and a redrawn version of Bidu/Blu's head fades in as we rotate to a full-on view of the logo.
4th logo (1998-2003)[]
On a black background, 12 stars start to fly in as it lights up, revealing a orange carpet-like background. The stars form a ring and a light wipes in below, revealing Mauricio's name and "PRODUÇOES" spreads out. Bidu/Blu appears in the ring of stars, this time with more of his body, and barks twice as the stars stop rotating.
5th logo (2003-2004)[]
On a blue background, we see the usual logo zooming in and the name flying in with the stars rotating. "A-P-R-E-S-E-N-T-A" zooms in below and the stars stop rotating. The logo then disappears and irises to the cartoon.
6th logo (2004-2007)[]
On a black background, a star appears at the top, which then spreads out. A yellow circle appears, then Bidu/Blu's head, which then zooms out. The name then appears with some sparkles and "APRESENTA" fades in below.
Variant[]
A still version exists without "APRESENTA" on the 1st trailer of Turma da Mônica em Uma Aventura no Tempo. There is a alternative version of this at the start of Turma do Penadinho, a CGI series produced with Digital 21. Bidu/Blu's head is replaced by the CGI Version Of Bidu/Blu from the 7th logo
7th logo (2007-)[]
On a blue gradient background, a star draws out lines with stars popping out. It zooms out and it reveals to be "MAURICIO DE SOUSA", then the stars draw a box and a CGI Bidu/Blu, only visible from ears to the nose, pops up as "PRODUÇOES", spaced out, appears below. Bidu/Blu looks around and blinks.
Variants[]
- A version exists without "PRODUÇOES".
- A warped version exists.
- Sometimes, "PRODUÇOES" is replaced by it's English counterpart, "PRESENTS" or "EDITORA"
- There is a longer variant.
- Sometimes, the background takes place on a video wall and it plays fast in sync with the music, Bidu/Blu no longer closes his eyes in the variant.
- A widescreen version is used on Turma da Mônica em Uma Aventura no Tempo.
- The short variant just has the animation of Bidu/Blu
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
Either a synth tune with whooshing sounds and Bidu/Blu's barks with a dreamy synth tune, or the instrumental version of "Sou A Monica", with the sounds playing over. Sometimes, the whooshing noises are not heard.
Music/Sounds Variant[]
On Chico Bento, Óia a Onça!, which adds a voice-over saying "Os Estudios Mauricio De Sousa apresentam!", and the dreamy synth tune doesn't play due to the abridgement. There is a version with the music in Dolby Surround on Monica E A Sereia Do Rio.
2nd logo[]
An ominous synth tune that turns into a calm-like tune with some plucks.
3rd logo[]
A proud synth fanfare.
4th logo[]
A synth tune with a magical revealing sound and Bidu/Blu's barks.
5th logo[]
The opening theme of Turma da Mônica.
6th logo[]
The opening theme with sounds that fit onto the logo.
Music/Sounds Variant[]
TBA
7th logo[]
A synth theme with some dings with whooshes.
Music/Sounds Variant[]
- The short version just has a whoosh with 2 dings
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
- Original Variant: Low. The dark background, cheesy animation, music, and Bidu/Blu's stare can scare a few people. Otherwise, it's a cute logo, and may be a favourite to many Brazilians.
- Chico Be to, Óia a Onça!: Low to medium. The voice-over can cause a lot of jumps, especially those who are expecting the normal variant.
- O Natal De Todos Nòs: None.
2nd logo[]
Low to medium. The deep synthesizer music will cause a lot of scares, but the calm tune can lower the scare factor in a few seconds for some. The neon red text against the black background and Bidu/Blu's stare aren't very friendly, either. The scare factor, however, is lower for those used to it.
3rd logo[]
None; it's a major improvement over the first two logos.
4th logo[]
Low. Bidu/Blu's barks may get to some.
5th logo[]
None.
6th logo[]
None.
7th logo[]
None, unless the 3D presence of Bidu/Blu surprises you.
