Logos[]
Widescreen Version
1st logo (January 30, 1994): Against a black background, we see a mouth smiling. Above and below the mouth respectively is "STRETCH FILMS" in an ugly, grungy font. The trademark symbol appears next to "FILMS".
2nd logo (1994): We see a smiling mouth that shows snaggly teeth. Each tooth contains "Stretch Films" letter-by-letter. Above the mouth is a nose, and hair beards on the left and right of it respectively. Under the logo is "Presents". The logo is fully colored in blue/teal green/purple tones.
3rd logo (July 1, 1995): Against a black background, we see a smiling mouth sticking its tongue out, with "Stretch Films" in a similar font from before, on each tooth letter-by-letter.
4th logo (1996): Against a black background, we see the smiling mouth from before once again, except it doesn't stick its tongue out. "Stretch Films" is on each tooth letter-by-letter in a similar font from before, along with a dark blue outline. Under the logo is "Presents."
5th logo (August 22, 1998-2001): On a black background, we see a crudely drawn smiling mouth in white, with "INC." below it. The mouth then laughs, revealing several snaggly teeth with a letter on each one; the letters "S", "t", "r", "e", "t", "c", and "h" are on the top row while "F", "i", "L", "m", and "s", are on the bottom row. A TM bug appears when the mouth stops laughing. The whole thing looks very similar to the previous logos.
Variants[]
- On the 1998 short Hector the Get Over Cat, the logo is still and takes place on a white background. Plus, the "INC." is bigger.
- On some episodes of Courage the Cowardly Dog, there is a variant where it shows John R. Dilworth in a silver satin spacesuit with a banana in his ears on a blue background with orange-yellow radial gradient polka dots dancing for a bit, before putting on a creepy look on his face and the banana rotating a couple of times. In the top left corner is the Stretch Films logo. The mouth isn't seen laughing, but can still be heard.
- On the 2011 short Bunny Bashing, the mouth is smaller and there is a URL address below it.
6th logo (2001): Against a white background, we see the same logo from before, except the teeth on the mouth are colored withpurpleandpinkon the top and bottom rows respectively. Under the logo is a copyright notice, which is a little off-centered to the left.
7th logo (December 8, 2009): Against a black background, we see a light blue/brown parrot holding a pencil on its mouth. The parrot snaps the pencil in two with its beak. Then a pumpkin with a face drawn on it falls on the parrot. A speech bubble representing the parrot talking appears next to the pumpkin that says "OW!" During the entire animation, there is a URL address for the company and a copyright notice under the URL address, which are both centered.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: The ending theme of the short.
2nd logo: The opening music to The Dirdy Birdy.
3rd logo: None.
4th logo: The opening theme of the short.
5th logo: The mouth laughing in a high-pitched British-esque accent. For the white background variant, it's silent.
Music/Sounds Variant[]
- On the 1999 short Catch of the Day!, the ending theme plays over the logo, with the laugh.
- On the 2014 short The Fog of Courage, Eustace (voiced by Wallace Shaun in the short) yells "Stupid dog!" before the laugh is heard.
6th logo: The ending theme of the short, interrupted by popping (the mouse popping. Disney SFX)
7th logo: The ending theme of the short, with a snapping sound for when the pencil breaks, and a thump sound for when the pumpkin falls on the bird.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo: None.
2nd logo: Low.
3rd logo: Low.
4th logo: Low. Quite tame compared to what have followed afterwards (just like the next logo)...
5th logo:
- Original Version: Depending on what you feel about this logo, it can range from low to nightmare. The creepy-looking mouth laughing on a dark background and jarring appearance can be quite creepy. Anyways, some people may find the logo annoying or even funny.
- White Background Variant: Low to high. The mouth is still creepy looking, but the laugh and darkness are not there.
- Banana Man Variant: Low to high. Ultimately depends on what you think of the subject matter. The choppy animation, strange look, laughing, and jarring appearance will catch many, specifically those who expect the normal logo and immediately wind up with this, off-guard, but it's obviously meant to be humorous and lacks darkness.
- The Fog of Courage Variant: Medium to nightmare, for the same reasons as the original version, plus Eustace saying his line before the animation and laugh will catch people off-guard.
6th logo: See above.
7th logo: None. The logo's quite funny.
