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, though the actual television show didn't premiere until 2016. A titular television channel launched in the spring of 2014. The studio acquired 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 partnered with Sprixie Studios.

On March 2, 2022, Kirby Studios announced it would acquire its parent company Loud Industries, just like they acquired Fox Benedict Pictures and its animation division the previous year and Sprixie Studios the month before. The deal was ultimately abandoned fifteen days later, because Loud Industries actually has some more acquisitions in mind. It is one of the most famous feature film studios. The company plans to shift away from its original concept in 2023, and move to the 20th Century Studios base, replacing Sprixie Studios.

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 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: The 1988 Walt Disney Classics jingle, sung along by the three Loud siblings. When they bow, a crowd is heard cheering.

Availability: Pretty common.

Editor's Note: A great way to start the company. However, the jingle heard here was stolen by Walt Disney Classics in 1988.

2nd Logo (1993-2000)
Nicknames: "Louds II", "The TLH Logo II"

Logo: Same as before, but the Louds 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.

Availability: Common. Seen on movies from the era, such as Can of Root Beer, Celery and Peanut Butter, Roll For The Sake Of The Taste, Grocery Shopping Hazard, Racer Anonymous, A Bug's Life, and Cat Around The World.

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

3rd Logo (2001-2014)
Nickname: "Louds 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, in lieu of the Loud Interactive logo.

FX/SFX: Same as the last two logos.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last two logos.

Availability: Very common. Seen on many different films from 2001-14, such as The Cheddar Jalapeno, Reel Estate, Young Driver, Dumb Fetcher, Butt Scratcher, and others.

Editor's Note: Same as before.

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.

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

Closing Title:
 * Just the finished product of the logo.
 * On The Loud House (2015 version) and its sequel, 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 absent. This is also the print version used on posters, DVD covers, and branding for movies.

FX/SFX: Amazing 2D animation. 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:
 * In some cases, it's silent or uses the opening/closing theme of the movie.
 * 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 different fanfare (most likely from one of Nanaimo Bar Studios' former distributors) is used, due to bad plastering.
 * On some dubs of Tetris, the audio is out-of-sync with the logo.
 * On Exhibition Amusement Park, a more dramatic rendition of the theme (with the Louds' vocals intact) is played.

Availability: Common during its usage. 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 Fried Wallet, Tetris, a third Sprixie Studios collaboration titled Flu Virus Crew, Exhibition Amusement Park, Snack Games, The Loud House 2, Rock and Stick (the first Nanaimo Bar Studios film released by the company), Coral, and Kung Fu Flashlight. The final movie to use this was Shards. 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.

5th Logo (May 13, 2022-)
Nicknames: "Louds V", "CGI Louds", "The TLH Logo V", "Singing Siblings V"

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 logo.

FX/SFX: Very nice CGI animation. Done at British studio Double Negative.

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

Music/Sounds Variant: TBA.

Availability: Brand new and current, but is not gonna last because a new logo is being introduced. This debuted on the second trailer for Medicine Cabinet (with Cutting Board Animation), as well as TV commercials for it, and made its theatrical debut on the film itself. After that (unless the next logo debuts), the logo is expected to appear on subsequent movies from the studio such as Gander 3 (replacing Fox Benedict Pictures due to their loss of interest while Specks Industries remains involved in the production), Coral 2, the company's fourth and final Sprixie Studios collaboration called Uranus and Neptune, and Kung Fu Flashlight 2.

Editor's Note: The CGI versions of the Loud siblings are pretty good, and this was a fresh new take on the company until the next logo debuted.

6th Logo (2023)
Nickname: "Loud Tower"

Logo: Same as the current 20th Century Studios logo, but the text is replaced by "LOUD PICTURES". The Loud siblings from the last two logos are seen around the structure.

Variants:
 * The prototype version has the Disney Fox Media Entertainment design.

Closing Title: TBA.

FX/SFX: CGI animation from Picture Mill.

Music/Sounds: The prototype version uses the Disney Fox Media Entertainment fanfare. The finalized version uses the 1997 Fox fanfare arrangement.

Availability: Brand new.

Editor's Note: Sad to see the original Singing Siblings concept disappear after thirty seven years, but the logo may take some time to get used to. Regardless, this is a great logo for the company's forty first anniversary.
