Logos[]

1st logo (March 11, 2005-)[]

Against a white background, there is a very crude drawing of an apple-headed creature with a toothy red smile and a big nose, which is wearing a top hat and a collar and also has a large, blue defecating worm with glasses, a hat and a single tooth coming out the left side of his head. The lower half of this creature has his skinny little legs in a squatting position and a face on his GYATT (ass) that appears to be spitting blood. gray bars are shown on both sides of the screen, with "PFFFR", in red, written on them. The logo rapidly flashes in and out of view.

Variants[]

  • On Season 1 episodes of Xavier: Renegade Angel, the flashing becomes more intense at the end.
  • On the Xavier: Renegade Angel episode "Pet Siouxicide", Xavier is running against the logo.
  • On the Xavier: Renegade Angel episode "Bloodcorn", the logo is red due to the end of the episode, in which the planet Earth cries blood that floods the universe after turning into a giant eyeball.
  • On the Xavier: Renegade Angel episode "Haunted Tonk", the creature's mouth is changing colors rapidly.
  • On the Xavier: Renegade Angel episode "Going Normal", the logo has a shatter effect to it.
  • On the Wonder Showzen episode "Cooperation", the logo appears on the bottom right corner of the screen while two low-quality bootleg versions of the show play.

2nd logo (April 4, 2016)[]

There is the SMPTE color bar screen with the text "P F F R" on it with "PRESENTS" under it. Above it is a fast-forward indicator. The entire thing is in static.

Music/Sounds[]

[]

A voice saying "PFR" (it says it in an extended tone, resulting in the voice saying "Peeeeee Efff Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr", although it kind of sounds like "Miii amoooor", Spanish for "My love" or "Yeah, boy") in a weird "burpy" voice. A disoriented bubbling noise is also heard.

Music/Sounds Variants[]

  • On most episodes of Xavier: Renegade Angel, the closing bits of the episodes play throughout this logo. The last bit of the voice also rapidly stutters at the end. If an episode has guest actors, an even shorter stutter fades out as the "With Special Guests" screen is shown.
    • The episodes "Chief Beef Loco" and "Signs from Godrilla" replace the stutter with a different voice which sounds like a choir singer. The special guest screen plays the voice at a higher pitch.
    • The episode "Bloodcorn" not only has the audio muffled, but also has clicking sounds in place of the voice stuttering.
  • On the Xavier: Renegade Angel episode "Going Normal", shattering sounds accompany the voice.

[]

Three beeps, with each increasing in pitch, mostly because of the fast forwarding effect.

Scare Factor[]

1st logo[]

Depending on the logo variant:

  • Original variant: Low to nightmare. The very scary and shocking crude drawing of the creature, weird voice, as well as the inappropriate subject matter, and flashing which in return has frightened many who never seem it before and has likely caused seizures. This could possibly be one of the most shocking logo designs ever, but the scare factor is somewhat a bit lower for those used to the logo design and/or are fans of their shows and songs (especially since this logo does appear on the EP mentioned above). Some people might find this logo funny, annoying and/or boring though.
  • Xavier Renegade Angel variant: Medium to nightmare, the flashing is even faster and more intense, with a very unsettling static and stuttering noise at the end.
  • Bloodcorn variant: Nightmare, The red color scheme and drowning underwater sounds had made this logo even more sinister, especially when combined with the unnerving sound and intense flashing at the end.
  • Going Normal variant: High to nightmare. It was the similar result to Bloodcorn variant but only with the shatter effect and sounds that also makes it more sinister, but it's little bit tamer than Bloodcorn.
  • Cooperation variant: Low to high. Even if you watching a strange episode of Wonder Showzen from Season 2 It was bit tamer because the logo had even zoomed out and placed on the bottom right corner in between two bootleg footages, but making it longer than usual won't stand well for some.

2nd logo[]

Low. The static sounds might get to some. But it's much tamer than the 1st logo.

Trivia[]

  • This creature is the "mascot" for PFFR's 2005 EP Chrome Ghost. This logo is still used on PFFR's website at everywhere.
  • The logo is so inappropriate because it's a joke.
  • They also have their own topic YouTube music channel called PFFR - Topic, heres the link, but be warned as in the bottom left corner, there is a ghost with a private part.
