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 that 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 partner up 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 mini major feature film studios. The company plans to retire from using its original concept in 2023, and move to the 20th Century Studios base, replacing Sprixie Studios under using it.

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-March 6, 2015)
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.

Closing Title: Same as the last 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 Up. This made its final appearance on Squash and Garlic with Gums Productions.

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 Exhibition Amusement Park kiddie rides from Jolly Roger, the logo starts where the Louds sing the jingle.

Closing Title:
 * The primary closing variation is 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 nowhere to be seen. 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:
 * On Snack Games, it's silent.
 * On some movies, 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 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 (February 24, 2022, 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, using the previous logo for the base.

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

Music/Sounds Variant: TBA.

Availability: Current, but is not gonna last because the logo below is being introduced, with a YouTube video. This debuted on the official 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 loss of interest while Specks Industries remains involved in the production), Coral 2, yet another 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 is a fresh new take on the company until the next logo makes its premiere.

6th Logo (June 7, 2022, 2023)
Nicknames: "Loud Tower", "The Searchlights", "CGI Searchlights"

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 finished product of the logo appears on trailers and commercials.
 * A prototype has a red-orange colored sky, harder shading, and different searchlight and Loud sibling positions.

Closing Title: TBA.

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

Music/Sounds: The 1997 Fox fanfare arrangement.

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 Variant: On the prototype version, the Disney Fox Media Entertainment fanfare is used.

Availability: Brand new. The finished product of the logo debuted on the teaser trailer for Gander 3. The fully animated version debuted on the company's YouTube channel on July 1, 2022 in time for Canada Day.

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.
