Logo[]
(1994-2013): Against a black background, we see the silvery words "THE CURIOSITY COMPANY" arranged in three lines underneath a square. Above it is a heavily distorted image of wavy lines or waves washing ashore, which varies depending on the episode. An image of a"C" shape made from a distorted surfboard reflection in either fully red or red with a white copy on it. On early episodes, later seasons and direct-to-video movies of Futurama, the words "in association with" are shown below the logo.
- An image of a"C" shape made from a distorted surfboard reflection in either fully red or red with a white copy on it
- An ocean with the distorted surfboard "C" shape appearing to move down and copies connecting them
- Another image of the distorted "C" shape made from a surfboard reflection with golden dots on the water. The "O" in "CURIOSITY" has a dot in it.
Variants[]
- On early episodes, later seasons and direct-to-video movies of Futurama, the words "in association with" are shown below the logo.
- There's also a still and credit-compressed version of airings of Futurama on Comedy Central.
Music/Sounds[]
Either a heavily distorted rippling sound or a heavily distorted sound of waves washing ashore, depending on the episode. On the ''Futurama'' episode "A Taste of Freedom", Bender (voiced by John DiMaggio) is heard saying "Freedom!" after the final rippling sound.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- On the ''Futurama'' episode "A Taste of Freedom", Bender (voiced by John DiMaggio) is heard saying "Freedom!" after the final rippling sound.
- On the ''Futurama'' episode "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on T.V.", Hypnotoad's signature noise is heard instead.
- On digital prints of the first two episodes of season 1 of ''Futurama'', it's silent.
- Fox airings of ''Futurama'' (starting in 2002) used a generic theme.
Scare Factor[]
Depends on the variant.
- Original variant: Medium to high. The weird noises and psychedelic patterns will scare many people. However, those used to seeing the logo may have less of a problem. Nevertheless, it's a favourite logo of many.
- Silent variant: Low to high, although silent, the water footage can still be a problem. The 20th/30th Century Fox Television logo immediately following it may affect the factor too.
- Still/Credit-compressed variants: None.
