It's Time for Cake

Background
This is a production company ran by Jerry Sterns, son of producers Phil Sterns and Julia West. The company was formed following a falling out between Jerry and his parents. Producers Dennis Friedman and Graham Vanzetti would join the company in 2003, while Sterns would move to the United Kingdom; he would return to the United States for co-productions.

1st Logo (1997)
Logo: On a black background we see a picture containing a drawing of a cake with a slice cut out. "It's time for Cake" is below in white.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The theme of the program or trailer.

Availability: Extinct. Appeared on the unsold pilot for She-Hulk.

Editor's Note: It's just boring.

2nd Logo (1999-2009, 2020)
Logo: In a living-room setting, we see some kids sitting on a couch, with a cake on a table in front of them. "IT'S TIME FOR CAKE" is above them on a banner in a plain typeface. A clock to the right of it strikes noon and the kids raise their hands while maintaining bored expressions.

Variant: In 2005, the logo was tweaked to feature cleaner animation, more details such as peeling walls and a hallway leading to a flight of stairs and two men; these represent Friedman and Vanzetti, and were featured on the first logo of their old vanity card.

Trivia: Three of the characters in this are the same ones used in the first and third Gecko Studios logos.

FX/SFX: Flash animation. This was done by Yowza! Animation. It was redesigned by Angry Alien Productions in 2005 for details outlined above.

Music/Sounds: A ticking sound, followed by a deep apathetic cheer.

Availability: Appeared on the ultra short lived 1999 revival of Inner Sanctum, Nightmare Gallery, the TV movie Chemical and the unsold pilots for a 2002 revival of Forever Knight and that for Hailey's Debts. Also seen at the end of the film Channel 2. Was brought back for the film Memory.

Editor's Note: This ended and restarted It's Time for Cake on a high note.

3rd Logo (2022-)
Logo: We see the characters from the previous logo standing in a police lineup, each holding a slice of cake on a plate. “It’s Time for Cake” is below them in black. The screen then flashes.

Variant: This shares the screen with the logo for 2nd Man on the Moon most of the time.

FX/SFX: The flash.

Music/Sounds: A male saying "Cheesecake!".

Availability: Can be seen on Dark Materials.
