Logo
Logo[]
(January 3, 2005-July 6, 2008): On a yellow background, four long, green blob-like creatures with a single eye each look up to the top of the screen, set in front of a slanted black box with the company's name above. "SPECTRA" is in red in Humanist 531 Ultra Black/Syntax Ultra Black, while "ANIMATION" is in pale yellow in Kidprint. A fifth creature identical to the other four drops down next to them, and then they slam themselves onto the box as their eyes roll, revealing themselves to be an alien hand.
Variant[]
A 16:9 version appears on Fred's Head. On certain mini-movies and spin-off episodes of the Toopy and Binoo brand, the logo's background is a light yellow color (which is due to tape's yellow color deformation).
Music/Sounds[]
Some sounds resembling screaming, a cartoon running sound effect, some bongos, more cartoon sound effects, and a sound of eyes rolling, or silence.
Scare Factor[]
None to low. The alien hand, the sounds, and the slam could potentially startle you. However, some might find it cute or funny instead of scary; and those at the target age of Toopy and Binoo can be scared as well as they are not used to the sounds the logo has. But it is a bit lower to those who have noticed that alien hand does look quite much similar to Wilt from "Foster's Home for IF".
