Nanaimo Bar Studios

Background
Nanaimo Bar Studios is an American animation studio. It is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, United States of America. The company was founded in 2003, and their first film was Android Robot in 2007. The company was bought out by Loud Industries for a good price in October 2020, and Loud Pictures distributes all of the company's newer releases since 2021. For their twentieth anniversary, the company plans to create a fresh new logo, and it will go similar to Blue Sky Studios.

1st Logo (2007-February 2022)
Nickname: "The Nanaimo Bar"

Logo: On a yellow background, a living Nanaimo bar with arms, legs, and eyeballs walks on all fours, then encounters a pile of chocolate chips on the floor. He eats the chocolate chips, then burps out the text "NANAIMO BAR STUDIOS", landing right below him in teal. He stands in place as the logo fades out.

Variant: Starting on March 19, 2021 with the release of Rock and Stick (using the still logo), a byline reading "a Loud Pictures company" is added below in purple.

Closing Title: The already formed logo, fading in and out. This is also used at the beginning of Rock and Stick, as described above.

FX/SFX: CGI animation. This was animated using Autodesk Maya.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat jazz tune, with sound effects corresponding to the actions.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On some movies, the film's opening theme is used instead.
 * The closing variant is silent.
 * On Penny the Pussywillow and Rock and Stick, the ending theme of the movie plays over the closing variant.

Availability: Common during its usage, but will become extinct in 2023.
 * It made its debut on Android Robot, and then appeared on Dance Party Daniel, Gold Rush Goldfish, Easter Heist, Rescue the Tadpole, Penny the Pussywillow, Washing Machine, Christmas Crashers, Handheld Gamer, Under the Sewage System, Surf City, and Rock and Stick.
 * The final release to use this logo was Shards. This logo will become extremely hard to find, but since it was used for fifteen years, it shouldn't be too hard to find on your old recordings and older physical media releases.
 * Also seen on trailers and TV commercials for the studio's movies.
 * This logo was last seen on the teaser trailer for Sparkling Glitter Glue.

Editor's Note: A really memorable logo for those who grew up with their films. The next logo is even more mind blowing.

2nd Logo (June 9, 2022-)
Nickname: "The Nanaimo Bar II"

Logo: Same as the final Blue Sky Studios logo, but Scrat is replaced with the Nanaimo bar from the previous logo, the text "Blue Sky" is replaced by the text "Nanaimo Bar" in brown, and the background is beige. The byline from the previous logo fades in below.

Variant: On the official trailers and the TV spots for Sparkling Glitter Glue, the Nanaimo bar is holding onto the first "N".

Closing Title: Same as the previous logo.

FX/SFX: More advanced CGI animation. Like the previous logo, this was also animated using Autodesk Maya.

Music/Sounds: The Nanaimo bar making his noises, accompanied by the sound effects from the final Blue Sky Studios logo.

Availability: Currently in use. This will become very common in a matter of months.
 * This logo was unveiled at the 2022 Loud Industries investors' day on June 9, 2022 along with the new Loud Pictures and Television logos.
 * The finished product of the logo made its debut on the official trailer for Sparkling Glitter Glue, and the fully animated version is expected to make its premiere on the film itself.
 * In a similar fashion to its parent company, the logo is expected to plaster over the previous logo on upcoming printings of all of the company's pre-2022 movies.

Editor's Note: A worthy and more fulfilling successor to the previous logo.
