Loud Pictures

Background
Loud Pictures Corporation is a feature film company that is dedicated to the Nickelodeon animated television series The Loud House. It and its parent company Loud Industries were founded in 1982, and began releasing films in 1986, despite the fact that the actual television show called The Loud House didn't premiere on Nickelodeon until 2016. A titular television channel launched in the spring of 2014. The studio acquired the one of a kind Seattle-based animation studio Nanaimo Bar Studios in 2020, and distributes all of their future movies since 2021, and re-releases prior films from other studios prior to the acquisition with the opening credits and copyright information updated. For a few films, they decide to partner up with Sprixie Studios, but more commonly partners up with Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios, to handle domestic and regional releases of all of the latter company's films.

Throughout the years, the company has made various well known family friendly animated and hybrid films, and has partnered with various companies, such as Paintballs Productions, Globe Studios, Gums Productions, Cutting Board Animation, Specks Industries, Sprixie Studios, Ultimate Enterprise Studios, and, in 2000, Fox Imperial Pictures' animation division. Three Loud siblings from the TV series The Loud House, those being Lincoln, Leni, and Luan, are the company and corporation's mascots.

With their movies being more successful than other studios' movies during the COVID-19 pandemic, parent company Loud Industries has more acquisitions in mind. It is one of the most famous mini major feature film studios. The company has since retired from using its original "Singing Siblings" concept, and moved to the 20th Century Studios base, replacing Sprixie Studios under using it. After July 8, 2022 with the release of Uranus and Neptune, the original "Singing Siblings" concept was discontinued, and the TCS tower concept became widely known about. What's even better is that they also gave the green light to competing studios 20th Century Studios and Casagrande Studios to remake Spin Jam and Ropes and Hopes respectively into computer animation, the remakes were very successful.

1st Logo (1986-1992)
Nicknames: "Louds", "The Loud Siblings", "Meet the Siblings"

Logo: On a black background, we see a spotlight turning on. It reveals a rainbow background, and three of the Loud siblings (Lincoln, Leni, and Luan) from 1986. They start singing as the camera zooms out a bit to reveal the cyan text "LOUD PICTURES" turning above them in Arial. They are standing on a blue stage, and bow when they finish singing.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A light switch sound, followed by the 1988 Walt Disney Classics jingle, sung along by the three Loud siblings. When they bow, a crowd is heard cheering.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * PAL prints of the company's films use a high tone version of the theme.
 * On In the Deep Blue Sea and The Dipsticks, the logo is silent.

Availability: Used to be common during its usage, but due to plastering with the current logo, nowadays it's uncommon, bordering on rare.
 * This logo made its theatrical premiere on The Loud House (1986), which is also the company's very first movie.
 * It then appeared on Handkerchief, The Dipsticks, Fetus Sucking Days, Ropes and Hopes (1989), Super Scary Face, In The Deep Blue Sea, Roast to the Marshmallows, Fatal Police Car Chase, Pocky & Rocky (1992), and Corn Exchange.
 * This logo made its final appearance on Thirty Something.

Editor's Note: A great way to start the company. However, the jingle heard here was stolen by Walt Disney Classics in 1988, and rearranged and sped up for the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection in 1994. This is also the only logo not to have a closing logo.

2nd Logo (1993-January 2001)
Nicknames: "Louds II", "The TLH Logo II"

Logo: Same as before, but the Loud siblings are in their 1993 appearances. Also, the text is in a different font (Comic Sans).

Closing Title: Just the finished product of the logo.

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, but the Louds' voices are rerecorded.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Spin Jam and PAL prints of most movies, the audio is higher pitched.
 * A double pitched version of the audio was used on international releases of Spin Jam.
 * On Can Of Root Beer, the first film with this logo, the music sounds muffled.
 * On Maru, the logo is silent. The captions and subtitles on the respective VHS and DVD releases say "Inaudible".

Availability: Common during its run, but it has become rarer recently.
 * The first movie to use this logo was Can of Root Beer, and then appeared on Celery and Peanut Butter, Roll For The Sake Of The Taste, Maru, Grocery Shopping Hazards, the first two Toy Story movies, Bird TV, The Casagrandes (1994), The Racer Anonymous, A Bug's Life, Tidal Threats, Spin Jam (2000), Cat Around The World, Cash Crabs, Ship Wrecked, and Hazardous Roadworks.
 * The last movie to use this logo was Twisty the Crayon.
 * The 2022 4K Ultra HD releases of Spin Jam and Twisty the Crayon both plaster this with the 6th logo, as well as post-September 2022 Loud Channel airings of the latter.

Editor's Note: Another great logo, and this is a favourite for those who grew up with Loud Pictures, even with plastering with the 6th logo.

3rd Logo (March 2001-March 6, 2015)
Nickname: "Louds III", "Singing Siblings III"

Logo: Same as the last two logos, but the Loud siblings are in their 2001 designs and the colors are enhanced.

Trivia: This logo was made to fit the company's 20th anniversary.

Variant: A still version is seen on the NDS version of the Dumb Fetcher video game (and the movie itself), in lieu of the Loud Interactive logo.

Closing Title:
 * Same as the last logo.
 * On Pixar movies from Monsters, Inc. to Ratatouille, the fully animated version is used as a closing logo.

FX/SFX: Same as the last two logos.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last two logos. None for the still version.

Music/Sounds Variants: On Dumb Fetcher, the opening theme of the movie plays over the logo instead.

Availability: Very common during its run, but has become harder to find, due to mostly being plastered with the 6th logo.
 * This logo debuted on The Morticians Club.
 * It then appeared on many different films from 2001-14, such as Monsters, Inc., Banjo-Kazooie, both Word Jumbles films, The Cheddar Jalapeno, Finding Nemo, Reel Estate, Young Driver, The Incredibles, Handkerchief 2: Lost in Paradise, Dumb Fetcher, Butt Scratcher, the first two Cars films, Shark Tale, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3, Brave, Lightbulb Incident, Apple Cored, Morse Code Madness, and Jambalaya Chimichanga.
 * This made its final appearance on Squash and Garlic with Gums Productions and Mercury Filmworks.

Editor's Note: Same as before. The next logo introduces the more familiar designs of the company's mascots, considering that they appear in that logo's debut film.

4th Logo (June 10, 2015-February 11, 2022)
Nicknames: "Louds IV", "The TLH Logo IV", "Singing Siblings IV"

Logo: Same as the last three logos, but the Louds are redesigned again, this time in their 2014 appearances. The stage is now colored black, and the neon text is in aquamarine.

Variants:
 * A shortened version is seen on trailers and commercials for the company's movies.
 * On older Exhibition Amusement Park kiddie rides from Jolly Roger, the logo starts where the Louds sing the jingle.
 * On Rock and Stick, the logo is still.

Closing Title:
 * The primary closing variation is same as the last two logos.
 * On The Loud House (2015 version), its 2020 sequel, and Pixar movies from Finding Dory to Luca (save for Onward), the fully animated version is seen as a closing logo.
 * Rock and Stick only uses the text (except in white) over a black background, and the Louds are nowhere to be seen. This is also the print version used on posters, DVD covers, and branding for movies.

FX/SFX: Amazing 2D animation than ever before! This was animated at Top Draw Animation in the Philippines.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last three logos, but the Louds' voices are rerecorded again. The crowd cheering also sounds different.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Snack Games, the logo is silent.
 * On Fried Wallet, Rock and Stick (using the still version), Coral, and Kung Fu Flashlight, the opening theme of the movie plays over the logo.
 * There is a higher-pitched version used for PAL prints of the company's movies.
 * On some current prints of 2007-20 Nanaimo Bar Studios films, a completely different jingle (most likely from one of Nanaimo Bar Studios' former distributors) is used, due to bad plastering.
 * On some dubs and some international TV airings of Tetris, the audio is out-of-sync with the logo.

Availability: Common during its usage, but nowadays it's rare, with newer prints of most films using the second 2022 Loud Pictures logo.
 * It debuted on the 2015 version of the titular film The Loud House, and has appeared on all movies from the company after that, such as Inside Out, Fried Wallet, The Good Dinosaur, Tetris, Abdominal Discomfort, a third Sprixie Studios collaboration titled Flu Virus Crew, Finding Dory, More Hazardous Roadworks, Exhibition Amusement Park, Cars 3, Snack Games, Coco, Incredibles 2, Ant and Cockroach, Toy Story 4, The Hart Store, Onward, The Loud House 2, Soul, Rock and Stick (the first Nanaimo Bar Studios film released by the company), Coral, Luca, and Kung Fu Flashlight'', among others.
 * The final movie to use this was Shards, despite the fact that physical media commercials use the next logo.
 * It also plasters over other film studio logos on current prints of Nanaimo Bar Studios movies released prior to 2021, but sometimes leaving their fanfares intact.

Editor's Note: This logo is a favourite among fans of this company's films from this era, and the next is even more mind blowing. It also introduces the current designs for the Loud siblings.

5th Logo (February 24, 2022, March 11-July 8, 2022)
Nicknames: "Louds V", "CGI Louds", "The TLH Logo V", "Singing Siblings V", "CGI Singing Siblings", "Goodbye Singing Siblings"

Logo: Basically the same concept as the previous logo, but with some massive changes. The Loud siblings are redesigned in CGI while keeping their 2014 appearances, the stage is white, the rainbow background is completely different, and the text "LOUD PICTURES" is in another different font (Calibri).

Closing Title: Just the finished product of the logo, like the last three logos.

FX/SFX: Very nice CGI animation. Done at British studio DNEG Feature Animation, using the previous logo for the base.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, but the theme is rearranged and the Louds' voices are re-recorded.

Availability: Very rare, due to its short lifespan.
 * It was only seen on four films: those movies being Turning Red, Medicine Cabinet, and More Morse Code Madness, and as a custom variant on Uranus and Neptune.
 * Also seen on physical media commercials for Shards.
 * Also seen on the teaser trailer for Sparkling Glitter Glue and official trailer for Tetris 2, the next logo is expected to appear on the actual movie.
 * This logo was strangely not seen on theatrical prints of Lightyear, nor in any trailers for that movie. This is probably due to the film's box office failure and due to review bombs. However, the company is still mentioned in the opening credits. The next logo appears on Disney+, VOD, and physical media prints.

Editor's Note: The CGI versions of the Loud siblings are pretty good, and this is a nice ending to the "Singing Siblings" base concept. However, everything changes in the next logo. It's also the only logo not to be plastered over. It's possible that this was the placeholder for the next logo.

6th Logo (June 7, 2022, August 9, 2022-)
Nicknames: "Loud Tower", "CGI Louds II", "The Searchlights", "CGI Searchlights", "No More Singing Siblings"

Logo: Same as the current 20th Century Studios logo, but the text is replaced by "LOUD PICTURES". The Loud siblings (albeit redesigned with different clothing) from the last two logos are seen in a few areas around the structure.

Trivia:
 * This logo was made to fit the new rebranding.
 * This logo, the new Loud Television logo, and the new Nanaimo Bar Studios logo were all announced at the 2022 Loud Industries investors day.

Variants:
 * The finished product of the logo appears on trailers and commercials.
 * The prototype version of this logo has a red-orange colored sky, harder shading, and different searchlight and Loud sibling positions.
 * A version that starts halfway through the animation appears on newer kiddie rides from Jolly Roger.
 * A still version exists. In this version, the logo is in print form, and the Loud siblings are absent. This version is also used on posters, physical media release covers, and the branding for movies.

Closing Title:
 * A shortened version of the logo, without any camera panning animation. This is also used at the beginning of current printings of Rock and Stick to plaster over the 4th logo.
 * On Disney+, VOD, and physical media prints of Lightyear, the fully animated version is used as a closing logo.

FX/SFX: More advanced CGI animation, this time coming from Picture Mill.

Music/Sounds: The 1997 20th Century Studios fanfare (rearranged version from Ice Age: Collision Course and Spies in Disguise).

Music/Sounds Trivia: The music was carried over from the Fox Imperial Pictures/Fox Benedict Pictures logos since 1998, and the Sprixie Studios logos from 1998-20.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On the prototype version, the Disney Fox Media Entertainment fanfare is used.
 * On the 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray of Spin Jam and on PAL prints of most other movies, the music is in high tone.
 * Similarly, PAL prints of the 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray of Spin Jam play this logo with a double pitched version of the audio.
 * On current printings of Snack Games (except Netflix and Hulu printings), the logo is silent.
 * Sometimes the music from the 4th logo is used, due to sloppy plastering.
 * Whenever Fox airs movies from the company, a generic network theme plays over the closing variant.
 * Sometimes, the opening theme of the movie plays over the logo instead.
 * On current printings of Word Jumbles, the 2002 fanfare from the second FBP logo is used. It sounds similar to the above, but a choir is also heard and the orchestration is different.
 * On Indian releases of the company's films, the fanfare from the Star Studios logo is expected to be used.
 * Like the 4th logo, on some current prints of 2007-20 Nanaimo Bar Studios films, a completely different jingle (most likely from one of Nanaimo Bar Studios' former distributors) is used, due to bad plastering. Sometimes it trails into the Nanaimo Bar Studios logo itself, accompanied by its sound effects.

Availability: Current and common. This will become very common in a matter of months.
 * The finished product of the logo debuted on the teaser trailer for Gander 3 and the official trailer for Sparkling Glitter Glue.
 * The fully animated version debuted on the company's YouTube channel on July 1, 2022 in time for Canada Day, and made its wide premiere on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray releases of Spin Jam, Twisty the Crayon, Butt Scratcher, Fetus Sucking Days, and Pocky & Rocky (1992), all of which were released on August 9, 2022, plastering the older logos, and on newer TV airings of the third title, though the 2nd logo is preserved on other current printings of the first title.
 * Also seen on Disney+, VOD, and physical media prints of Lightyear, because the previous logo never appeared on theatrical releases.
 * The first ever movie to use this was Tetris 2, released on August 12, 2022. It is expected to appear on future releases from the company such as Sparkling Glitter Glue, Coral 2, Kung Fu Flashlight 2, Elemental, Pocky & Rocky (2022), Working for the Weekend, Elio, Inside Out 2, and FBI Silverfish.
 * Also seen on newer models of Exhibition Amusement Park kiddie rides from Jolly Roger.
 * Current 3D prints of Pocky & Rocky (1992) have this replacing the first logo, just like the 4K Ultra HD release.

Editor's Note: It's very sad to see the original Singing Siblings concept disappear after a whopping thirty seven years, but this logo is considered a welcoming change from the last five logos. Regardless, this is a great logo for the company's forty first anniversary. However, this is hated by those who expected the previous logo to continue usage, and because of its plastering habits.
