Williams Street

Logos[]

1st logo (1995-)[]

On a very pale gray background, there is a corner shot of a dark gray building (this building is not the Williams Street office, but the factory building from the cliparts). Under it, it would say one of these texts:

April 15, 1994-December 25, 1998: "GHOST PLANET INDUSTRIES", in a "ghost" font is below the building.
October 22, 1999-: "WILLIAMS STREET"

Variants[]

There is also an inverted version of the GPI logo on season 7 of SGC2C.
- The first episode of S7, "Kentucky Nightmare", used a more slightly distorted version of that variant, along with the S8 episodes, "Baffler Meal" and "Live at the Fillmore".
On recent Adult Swim shows from 2012 and onwards, the logo has (barely readable) Cartoon Network copyright information, and it does not cut to the Cartoon Network "Skull". Also, the logo has been converted to letterbox.
On the first episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law (the only episode of the show to have this logo), the logo is tinted blue.
On the Space Ghost episode "Flipmode", the logo is in static.
On The Eric Andre Show episode "Bird Up", Eric Andre in a green suit with a parrot appears at the bottom left corner of the screen. He says "Yah Boobay" over and over again.
On the Children's Hospital episode "The Show You Watch", the logo is redesigned to fit in with the 50s motif of the episode, like all the other logos along with it. The logo is now flat, simplistic, and more cartoony, sort of resembling a UPA/H-B background design, and the "WILLIAMS STREET" text is also in a different font. The logo does not wave in this variant, and thus is completely still, no animation and without any copyright information at all.
On Brak Presents The Brak Show Starring Brak, the logo is on a paper taped to the background.
On The Eric Andre Show season 2 finale, the logo has a darker sound that gets slightly louder, the logo also appears more fuzzy than usual.
On Mister America, the logo appears in the end credits alongside the Magnolia Pictures and Abso Lutely Productions logos.
On the 'analog video remix' for the Off the Air episode "NEWNOW Analog Video Remix", the logo is shaded midnight blue, mimicking the retro VHS theme of the episode. The word "EJECT" is also seen.
On Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, there is a longer, opening variant of the standard widescreen version. This version has a slower fade in and out, and 4-5 seconds after we fade out, there is a screen that says "PRESENTS" and then "THIS MOVIE" in a split second (in the same font as the Williams Street text and it waves also).

2nd logo (1999; 2001-2012)[]

Same as before, but the letters are farther apart (and in a different font), the waving is bigger and it has a smoother and faster rate. The image quality is also better.

Variants[]

On the Sealab 2021 episode "Murphy Murph and the Feng Shui Bunch", Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force (voiced by Dana Synder) breaks the Williams Street logo, along with the 70/30 Productions and the Cartoon Network Productions logos.
Stroker and Hoop used a copyright stamp below the logo.
A sepia variant exists.

Music/Sounds[]

1st logo[]

The ever popular Mark VII Limited "Hammer" sound from 1967-1971, containing two strikes of the hammer (three for the Ghost Planet Industries version), being shortened on some shows.

Music/Sounds Variants[]

In other cases, it used the closing theme of the show (If you listen closely, certain shows (such as early seasons of Robot Chicken) still have a bit of Master Shake from ATHF yelling "dance!" really quickly which is taken from him saying "Dancing Is Forbidden!" from the first episode of ATHF).
Sometimes, it's silent. One example is the SGC2C S3 episode "Sharrock" to observe the memory of Sonny Sharrock, the show's musician.
On Squidbillies (as well as other shows and specials), it's the respective ending theme of the show.
On the SGC2C S4 episode "Boatshow", Space Ghost is heard underneath announcing "This has been a Ghost Planet Industries production. (does a spit take) That's what I did in rehearsal, and everybody laughed."
On the SGC2C S7 episode "Kentucky Nightmare" and the S8 episode "Live at the Fillmore", the music is a long held out metal guitar riff played 2 times in place of the hammer strikes.
- A similar variant appeared on the S8 episode, "Baffler Meal", but also includes Space Ghost yelling "NOOOO!!!".
On The Eric Andre Show episode "The Eric Andre Show 15", the logo cuts out early and we hear the 2nd hammer strike while the screen was black.
On Aqua Something You Know Whatever (the ninth season of ATHF), a random quote from the specific episode is right after a hammer strike.
On the China, IL episode "Dream Reamer", a "Skull!" sound from the 2001 Cartoon Network Productions logo is heard.
On the season 3 finale of Rick & Morty on Netflix, the French audio track has a low pitched version, which is also the case for the other logos before it and the whole episode.

2nd logo: Same as before. On Sealab 2021, it's the closing theme of the show, or a voice bit.

Music/Sounds Variants[]

When this logo debuted on the SGC2C episode "Chambraigne", we hear three strikes of the hammer.
On the "Murphy Murph and the Feng Shui Bunch" variant, Master Shake (voiced by Dana Synder) and Meatwad (off screen, voiced by Dave Willis) have this conversation:
- Master Shake: "Seventy-thirty, is this yours?" Meatwad: "That's not mine." Master Shake: "'Cause its gone." Meatwad: "You're breaking somebody else's thing now!" Master Shake: "It's cheap looking and it's outta here! What kind of crap?! Did an elephant paint this?!"

Scare Factor[]

1st logo[]

Depending on the music variant:

Low to high. It's a very jarring logo, cutting in directly after whatever comes before it (SGC2C is the sole exception to this; the GPI logo always fades in there, though in its later years with the WS logo it cuts in). The odd image may make some uneasy too. The scare factor may rise if is followed by the "Jack-in-the-Box" Cartoon Network Productions logo, depending on the audio used for that logo. The louder and darker sound on the Season 2 finale of The Eric Andre Show can also startle a few unsuspecting viewers.
Low to medium with the closing theme of the show, but it's nothing compared to the next two variants...
High to nightmare for the “Kentucky Nightmare” and “Baffler Meal” variants. The VERY rapid flashing and the guitar riffs will definitely put off many. Space Ghost yelling “NOOOO!” in the “Baffler Meal” variant might make people feel somewhat worse.
Medium to nightmare for the "Flipmode" and "Fried Alive" variants. The bad quality of the image and the sudden blood splatter may be worse for some and can be surprising for unexpected viewers.

Otherwise, it's nothing too much, and is a favourite among many used to seeing it, especially [adult swim] fans in general.

2nd logo[]

Low to medium, for the same reasons as before, but the image quality is at least clearer.
