Sprixie Television Studios

Background
"Sprixie Television Studios", is the television division of Sprixie Studios. Founded in 1949, around the same time "TCF Television Productions Inc." was founded. And was also founded by the 7 Sprixies. The company was known to compete againest "Revue Productions, Inc.", and "Paramount Television Productions, Inc." The company later officially launched in 1955 with the release of the popular TV show, "Sprixie Battles." Just like Sprixie Studios, Sprixie Television Studios is one of the most popular Television companies. Alongside Walt Disney Television, MGM Television, Universal Television, and many more. The company celebrated it's 60th anniversary in 2009.

Their first logo was interesting, as the logo was basically a tower with a sunburst in the background. Used from 1949 to 1957. The Sprixie Tower was later introduced in 1957 and was used ever since then on later TV shows and cartoons. With the logo adding the 7 Sprixies in 1965 and CGI later being added in 1992. The logo was later updated in 2010 to use the 2009 "20th Century Fox" structure. And in 2020, the "20th Century Studios" structure. The logo later on started using the "Disney Fox Media Entertainment" logo base for the logo, although, the television logo plans to be upgraded later on with the upcoming rebrand.

Throughout the years, the company was never really owned by a parent company. But on May 13th, 2021, Kirby Studios announced to purchase the company's assets. On Febuary 5th, 2022, the byline was inserted into the company's logo. And the byline will most likely be appearing in the next logo once Sprixie Television Studios rebrands.

1st logo (August 9th, 1949 - December 25th, 1957)
Nicknames: "SSC Tower", "SSC Sunburst"

Logo: On a blue background, we see a tower that looks similar to the Sprixie Studios logos, however, instead of the structure reading Sprixie Studios, the text is replaced with the words, "SSTV" with a sunburst behind the structure. The following bylines can appear at the bottom.

Bylines:
 * DISTRIBUTED FROM THE SPRIXIE KINGDOM STUDIOS OF SPRIXIE STUDIOS TELEVISION CORPORATION
 * FILMED AT THE SPRIXIE KINGDOM STUDIOS OF SPRIXIE STUDIOS PRODUCTIONS INC.

Variants: Only a few.
 * On some shows, like the "Sprixie Battles" TV show, the logo can be imposed over the credits. But sometimes, the logo can cut in from black.
 * For color shows, the logo has the tower colored in Gold, Yellow and orange, while the background is colored blue.
 * On the prototype variant of the logo, the logo has a darker tint, and has the byline, "FILMED AT THE SPRIXIE KINGDOM STUDIOS OF SPRIXIE STUDIOS PRODUCTIONS INC."

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None or just the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Extremely rare.
 * It's made appearances on the first season of "Sprixie Battles", Broken Arrow, the first season of How to Marry a Millionaire (the series), and My Friend Flicka in color. It's also been seen on Time for Beany, and many other shows.

Editor's Note: An amazing logo, even though it is rare to find, it can still be found on blu-ray releases of the first season of "Sprixie Battles", and on VHS releases.

2nd logo (December 19th, 1956-June, 1963)


Nicknames: ""Starry Sky", "Floating Structure"

Logo: Same as the 20th Century Fox Television 1959 logo, except the name is changed to read SPRIXIE STUDIOS CORP.

Variants:
 * Just like the 20th Century Fox Television logo, this appeared as an opening logo with a fanfare, followed by the Martin Manulis Productions logo.

FX/SFX: The fade in of the company's name.

Music/Sounds:
 * Simply just the opening theme or closing theme of a random TV show.

Availability: Extremely rare.

Editor's Note: This was the last logo before the Sprixie Tower was used.

3rd logo (July 24th, 1959-1984)


Nicknames: "The Super Structure II", "The Sprixie Tower II", "1930s Tower"

Logo: The 1936 Sprixie Studios logo is seen, but in a close up of the structure. A few seconds later, the camera zooms out into position and the words TELEVISION", which is slanted at an angle, suddenly appears and rapidly zooms out, which plasters itself on top of the "STUDIOS" on the stack of words, which fills the whole screen. The logo then fades out.

Variants:
 * A sepia like variant exists.
 * From the early years of this logo, the camera zooms out slowly.
 * A sped up version exists.
 * The movie logo of the time opened the pilot to The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, "Caper at the Bijou", with the Martin Manulis Productions logo (the fanfare plays over the Martin Manulis logo).
 * A pink variant exists.
 * Some variants contain the searchlights looping back to the beginning of the logo when the word "TELEVISION" zooms out.
 * A "DISTRIBUTED BY" version exists.

FX/SFX: The spotlights and the "TELEVISION" text.

Music/Sounds:
 * There's 4 different fanfares this logo used.

1. 1959-1964: The rearrangement of the Alfred Newman fanfare that was used on the movie logo. 2. 1961-1966: Some sort of short tune played on muted trumpets and strings that is a variation of the jingle, but does not sound exactly like a Sprixie jingle. 3. 1963-1964: The shortened variant of the 1959 theme. 4. 1965-1966: A sped-up/shortened version of the 1961 theme.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Same as the main TCFTV logo.

Availability: Very rare.


 * Just like the TCFTV 1957 logo, it has the same availability's as the TCFTV logo.

Editor's Note: This, was one of the only SSTV logos that had the words "TELEVISION" zooming out plastering over the words "STUDIOS", as some sort of rebrand took place next logo.

4th logo (November 19th, 1967-1984)


Nicknames: "The Super Structure III", "The Sprixie Tower III", "1950s Tower"

Logo: We see the 20th Century Fox 1953 logo, but the structure reads, "Sprixie Television", The 7 Sprixie Princesses from the movie counterpart logo make their first appearance in this logo. The word "TELEVISION" does not appear in this logo at all.

Variants:
 * The word "TELEVISION" can appear in either gold, orange, or yellow. Depending on what show this logo appears on.
 * A green tinted version exists.
 * A blue tinted version, .aka the "Regular" version, does appear on various shows.
 * Some sort of "gray scaled" variant appeared on B&W prints of classic color shows, like for example, "Sprixie Heroes".
 * The logo was shifted over to the left starting in 1968.
 * The registered trademark "®" symbol was added to the logo starting in 1976.
 * A "DISTRIBUTED BY" version exists.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo and the Sprixie Studios 1955 logo.

Music/Sounds:
 * 1967-1968: The same 1961 theme from 1st SSTV logo.
 * 1968-1984: The same 1965 theme from 1st SSTV logo.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Same as the TCFTV 1965 logo.

Availability: Rare, but was more common back then.


 * Just like the TCFTV 1965, it has the same availability's as the TCFTV logo.

Editor's Note: Just like the TCFTV logo, the 1976 variant with the shifted text certainly doesn't look very professional.

4th logo (December 13th, 1981-1993)


Nicknames: "The Super Structure IV", "The Sprixie Tower IV", "1980s Tower"

Logo: Very similar to the Sprixie Studios 1981 logo, except the logo is stacked one extra row to make room for the word "TELEVISION." The logo is also shortened.

Trivia: Like the TCFTV 1981 logo, there is a rear spotlight missing in this logo.

Variants:
 * A videotaped and filmed version of this logo exists.
 * The word "TELEVISION" can appear in either gold, yellow, orange, or ivory.
 * A widescreen version exists.
 * A rare version exists, with slightly different coloring and the 3rd rear spotlight.
 * In 1989, the logo was modified with slightly different coloring and a pink spotlight.

FX/SFX: Similar to the other logo.

Music/Sounds: The 1965 fanfare. Also used in the 2nd and 3rd logos.


 * The fanfare was later replaced with the 1989 fanfare in later years. Also used in a prototype version of the SSTV 1995 logo.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Some shows use a generic theme instead of the regular audio. But, it's exclusive to co-produced shows from the era.
 * The first note is cut-off on some episodes of Mr. Belvedere and a short-lived series, Sister Kate.

Availability: Uncommon. Which is caused by the modern logos.

Editor's Note: While similar to it's movie counterpart logo, it's much smoother than before. And like the 20th Century Fox Television 1981 logo, It's the first time that the familiar shortened SS theme was used for Sprixie's television logos after approximately three decades of unconventional fanfares.

6th logo (July 13th, 1995-April 9th, 2010)


Nicknames: "The Super Structure V", "The Sprixie Tower V", "1990s and 2000s Tower", "The CGI Searchlights I", "The CGI Tower I"

Logo: The 1995 TCFTV logo is seen, except the name now reads, "Sprixie Studios Television". The 7 Sprixies from the previous logo have been moved to the top of the word "Sprixie", and have been given their poses from the film division logo. No byline is present though.

Trivia: This was the last logo base that Sprixie Studios Television used before switching to a different one.

Variants:
 * There's a lot of variants for this, so, let me explain each one by one.
 * An early version is known to exist, but not confirmed yet.
 * Corporate versions exist, but they were only on social media until 2021.
 * A squished version exists.
 * A rare extended version exists, but it's unconfirmed as of now.
 * In 2007, the logo was redesigned and enhanced similar to the TCFTV logo. Which includes the same name though.
 * The 2007 Enhanced logo does contain a squished version and corporate version too.

FX/SFX: The spotlights, the sky, and the camera.

Music/Sounds: The TCFTV 2007 fanfare.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * For the first four years of this logo, the fanfare originated from the TCFTV 1995 logo.
 * Starting in 1998, the fanfare was changed to the TCFTV 1998 fanfare.
 * The TCFTV 2007 fanfare was used starting in 2007.
 * Short versions of the audio exist.
 * Sometimes, the 2008 TTV fanfare would play.
 * In some rare cases, the ending theme of the show, the generic network theme, or none.

Availability: Was very common in its own time, but is now uncommon, bordering on rare, as this logo is starting to get plastered by the newer 2021 logo now.

Editor's Note: Pretty amazing, lots of variants, and some were reused into future logos.

7th Logo (April 10th, 2010-Janurary 30th, 2020)


Nicknames: "The Super Structure VI", "The Sprixie Tower VI", "2010s Tower", "The CGI Searchlights II", "The CGI Tower II"

Logo: We see the 2010 Sprixie Studios logo, but it looks different. This time, we are zoomed up close to the structure like the previous logo, and we zoom out a few seconds later, after zooming out, the extra searchlight in the background can be seen. The sky is also different too.

Variants:
 * An extended version exists. But only on a few shows. Also comes in a full screen version too.
 * A color alternation version exists. But it's very rare to find.
 * Some versions of this logo have the logo stacked one extra row to make it read "Sprixie Studios Television Distribution". But none have seen it yet.
 * A short version exists.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Was very common in its own time, but it's now rare as of 2022. This logo first debuted on the "Windows 2000 Dies" series and had appeared on many shows since then. It's first apperance on a film was at the end of Sprixie Battles fighters, and was also popular on other films until it's discontinuation in 2020.

Editor's Note: Not much to say honestly.

8th logo (January 31st-December 31, 2020)


Nicknames: "The Super Structure VII", "The Sprixie Tower VII", "2020s Tower", "The CGI Searchlights III", "The CGI Tower III"

Logo: A major enhancement of the previous logo is seen. This time, the base has been updated to use the 2020 TCS logo base now. The sky was completely changed too, and three of the Sprixies on the logo are seen slightly glowing.

Trivia: This was the first time since 1981 that the logo rebranded it's name.

Variants:
 * Not a whole lot of variants. But here are some.
 * On some plasters of shows from the 50s to the 80s, the logo is seen in B&W.
 * A short version exists.
 * A color alteration version exists.
 * An extended version exists, but not on a lot of shows.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logos.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last two logos.

Availability: While short-lived, it is still common. However, it's currently unknown what show or made for TV film this debuted on. But, it has appeared on many films and shows from that year before the next logo even debuted to the public.

Editor's Note: Not a bad logo, although some people have had mixed reactions to this logo when it debuted.

9th logo (January 1st, 2021-)


Nicknames: "The Super Structure VIII", "The Sprixie Tower VIII", "2020s Tower II", "The CGI Searchlights IV", "The CGI Tower IV"

Logo: The unused Sprixie Studios 2021 logo is seen, but, like the previous Sprixie Television Studios logos, we start zoomed into the structure, and this time, we zoom out slowly. While the main Sprixie Studios logo has a byline, the byline for this one arrived in March of 2022.

Trivia: Looking at the sky, it appears to have been reused from the Sydney Century Australia logo, as it's sky was changed back to the FSA 1998 one.

Variants:
 * A cinemascope version exists at the end of made-for-TV films.
 * There is a longer version.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logos.

Music/Sounds: A shortened version of the Disney Fox Media Entertainment fanfare. Sometimes it's silent, has the show's ending theme, or a generic network theme.

Availability: Current and ultra common, but that might not last. It first appeared at the end of a television broadcast of the remastered Sprixie Battles film, and then appeared on the TV series adaptation of Sprixie Battles, and has appeared on many shows and at the end of many made for TV films since then, plastering the older logos. As with the movie logo, a new logo was announced, and it will be dropping the TCS structure concept, so this will soon no longer be in use.

Editor's Note: This is an incredible CGI logo, and the nodding really kicks in too since it was redone completely. As with the movie logo, everything changes in the next logo.

10th Logo (Late 2022,-)
Logo: TBA.
