Nicknames: "The Wheel", "Who is Chosen?"

Logo: On a light blue background, we see the text in yellow:

THE

SIMPSONS

in the middle of the screen with heads of the Simpsons in a row that looks like a wheel (Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie, Lisa). We can also see a grave in the bottom right corner. Nelson jumps up and hits the grave, causing the wheel-like shape to spin around. When it stops, the chosen character drops down, and then the opening titles go on, then the credits, and the cartoon's title, then the head is left in, the rest of his/her body appears, the objects in the scene fall down, and the background changes to the room in the episode, which plays as normal.

Trivia: An updated version was used for the Alternate IDs.

FX/Cheesy Factor: The wheel, the head, all good 2-D graphics.

Music/Sounds: A thump sound, then the character saying a line. Most of the time, before Nelson jumps up, the Simpsons theme is heard.

Availability: Common. Seen on some Simpsons cartoons. Also on the Simpsons Dream Cartoons DVDs.

Scare Factor: Minimal, depends on what you think of the wheel.

Logo: On an underwater background, we see the text in yellow:

THE SIMPSONS

in an arc in the middle of the screen with heads of the Simpsons in a row that looks like a wheel (Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie, Lisa). We can also see a grave in the bottom left corner. Nelson walks over, jumps up and hits the grave, causing the wheel-like shape to spin around. When it stops, the chosen character drops down, and the episode plays as normal.

(2005-2006)

2nd Logo

(2006-)

Nicknames: "The CRAZIEST Logo Ever", "Too Much In This Logo", "What is Going On??"

Logo: On a black-red gradient background, a black bordered box contains a beach. Bart and Lisa walk on the sand and into the sea. A wave appears and they run off screaming but... TOO LATE! The wave sucks them up and "THE SIMPSONS" slides to the center of the screen. Bats fly past twice and squawk like seagulls. The characters Homer, Marge (carrying Maggie, and near a trolley), Otto, Grandpa, Apu (holding a piece of cloth), Ralph, Nelson, Krusty (holding a unicycle), and Dr. Nick appear. Ghosts appear from the sea and sing a rave. Several sweets fly out from the "P" in "SIMPSONS" (a la the Simpsons intro where we zoom through the letter), then a laser attacks the set, followed by comets hitting the ground and turning into fire. Near the end of the logo, we see "ENTERTAINMENT" in yellow to match the skin of the Simpsons appear letter by letter. An unusual letter appears and unfolds to reveal the byline "a (WGBY) SPRINGFIELD company".

Variants:


 * Sometimes, the background would not be gradient and would be black.
 * The background may be blue, green or orange rather than red.
 * In other cases, the logo may appear superimposed over the credits.FX/SFX: Completely everything.

Music/Sounds: We hear the SCS Flitting theme, with the yelling, a cymbal crash when the wave appears, the bats squawking, a rave, a Magic In sound when the sweets appear, a laser sound, and finally a drum roll when the comets appear. These actually came from the Simpsons Cartoon Studio sound library. The closing theme may play over it.

Availability: ULTRA COMMON! Can be seen anywhere.

Scare Factor:


 * High to nightmare, the action scares a lot of people.
 * Minimal for those who are used to seeing it.3rd Logo
