Nanaimo Bar Studios

Background
Nanaimo Bar Studios is an American animation studio. It is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, United States of America. The company was founded in 2003, and their first film was Android Robot in 2007. The company was bought out by Loud Industries in October 2020, with Loud Pictures distributing all of the company's newer releases since 2021. For their twentieth anniversary, the company plans to create a fresh new logo, and it will go similar to Blue Sky Studios.

1st Logo (2007-)
Nickname: "The Nanaimo Bar"

Logo: On a yellow background, a living Nanaimo bar with arms, legs, and eyeballs walks on all fours, then encounters a pile of chocolate chips on the floor. He eats the chocolate chips, then burps out the text "NANAIMO BAR STUDIOS", landing right below him in teal. He stands in place as the logo fades out.

Variant: Starting on March 19, 2021 with the release of Rock and Stick, a byline reading "a Loud Pictures company" is added below in purple.

Closing Title: The already formed logo, fading in and out.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat jazz tune, with sound effects corresponding to the actions.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On some movies, the film's opening theme is used instead.
 * The closing variant is silent. However, Penny the Pussywillow and Rock and Stick play the ending theme of the movie.

Availability: Current and common, but that might not last, because the new logo is being introduced in 2023. It made its debut on Android Robot, and then appeared on Dance Party Daniel, Gold Rush Goldfish, Easter Heist, Rescue the Tadpole, Penny the Pussywillow, Washing Machine, Christmas Crashers, Handheld Gamer, Under the Sewage System, Surf City, Rock and Stick, and Shards. Also seen on trailers and TV commercials for the studio's movies.

Editor's Note: A really memorable logo for those who grew up with their films. The next logo is even more mind blowing.

2nd Logo (2023)
Nickname: "The Nanaimo Bar II"

Logo: Same as the final Blue Sky Studios logo, but Scrat is replaced with the Nanaimo bar from the previous logo, the text "Blue Sky" is replaced by the text "Nanaimo Bar" in brown, and the background is beige.

Closing Title: Same as the previous logo.

FX/SFX: More advanced CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The Nanaimo bar making his noises, accompanied by the sound effects from the final Blue Sky Studios logo.

Availability: Brand new. This logo was unveiled on June 9, 2022 along with the new Loud Pictures logo.

Editor's Note: A worthy and more fulfilling successor to the previous logo.
