Harvey Entertainment

Background
==Harvey Comics was established in 1939, but didn't use a logo until the comic book publisher entered the animation arena (by purchasing the rights to many of the characters Paramount featured in its cartoon shorts) in 1959. Today, Harvey Entertainment currently remains as an in-name-only unit of DreamWorks Classics, a division of NBCUniversal. ==

1st Logo (1959-1962, 1999-2001)
Nicknames : "Harvey-in-the-Box", "The 'H' TV Tube", "Harvey the Clown" Logo : We see a white background, with the letter "H" on it. Then, we zoom out to reveal a TV tube (ala the first Screen Gems logo) and some Harvey characters (including Casper, Little Audrey, Baby Huey, Buzzy the Crow, Herman and Katnip and Tommy Tortoise and Moe Hare) and then it pops goes a tube, Harvey the clown appears at the top. We reveal "HARVEY FILMS" in a birthday party lettering. The logo is on a pink background (or sometimes light blue, blue, green, or red, due to print deterioration). Sometimes, "HARVEY FILMS" turns into "HARVEYTOON". The closing variant has the logo playing in reverse.

Variant : A variant of this logo was used for The Harveytoons Show. We see "HARVEYTOON" in a different lettering instead of "HARVEY FILMS". It was first used in 1999. The logo is on an orange background and the characters, along with the clown, are drawn in a more modern version, plus marking the first appearance of Wendy and Spooky in this logo. There's also confetti falling off of it. Though on cartoon shorts and Modern Madcaps, it omits the confetti. This variant was last used in 2001.

FX/SFX : The clown popped going a tube.

Music/Sounds : The cartoon theme's open/end.

Availability : Appears on TV prints of post-October 1950 and pre-April 1962 Paramount cartoons, replacing the Paramount mountain logo. Paramount may be more visible to replace this logo with the Paramount mountain logo. The closing variant is followed by the 1979 Worldvision Enterprises logo on early 1980s syndicated prints.

Scare Factor : Minimal. The clown in the logo may scare you.

2nd Logo (1963-1969)
Nicknames : "Harvey-in-the-Box II", "The 'H' TV Tube II", "Harvey the Clown II"

Logo : Over a black background, we see a TV tube with the letter "H" on it. Then we see Harvey the clown from the Harvey Films logo at the top of the TV tube to reveal "HARVEY FUNNIES", in the same lettering as the Harvey Films logo. This logo is in black and white until 1966.

Variant : There's a color version in which the logo is on a blue background. Plus, the color of Harvey the clown and the "H" TV tube is the same used for the Harvey Films logo. The color version debuted in 1966.

FX/SFX : Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds : A 8-note comedy tune.

Availability : Extinct. Was originally seen on The New Casper Cartoon Show in black & white (1963-1966) and in color (1966-1969) on ABC.

Scare Factor : Low.

3rd Logo (1990-1992?)
Nicknames : "Harvey-in-the-Box III", "The 'H' TV Tube III", "Harvey the Clown III"

Logo : On a purple-pink gradient background, we see the TV tube with the letter "H" on it and Harvey the Clown appearing from it (which is reused animation from the Harvey Films Logo). Then it zooms out on the left and the "ARVEY" appears letter-by-letter on turquoise squares. After this, "COMICS ENTERTAINMENT © [YEAR]" appears below it.

FX/SFX : The reused animation from the Harvey Films logo, the logo zooming out on the left, "ARVEY" appearing letter-by-letter with the copyright stamp.

Music/Sounds : The ending of the show.

Availability : Extremely rare. It's currently seen on Casper and Friends on Hulu.

Scare Factor : Low. Again, the clown in the logo may scare you.

4th Logo (1994-????)
Nicknames :"Harvey the Clown IV", "The Harvey Seal"

Logo : On a blue background, we see the face of Harvey the clown, overlapping a yellow-orange seal a la the official Nintendo seal logo on the top of the screen. Over the clown are the words "The Harvey Entertainment Company", with "Est. 1939" above "Entertainment Company". Below it's the copyright disclaimer for Harvey Comics.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : An 8-note trumpet tune.

Availability : The logo was originally seen on the first season of The Baby Huey Show. It also appeared on the Casper Classics web series.

Scare Factor : Medium, due to the creepy music and the terrible graphics. However, it got worse in the next logo...

5th Logo (May 26, 1995-October 31, 2000)
Nicknames : "Harvey the Clown V", "The Harvey Seal II", "Harvey of Doom"

Logo : On a black background, we see the same Harvey seal logo from before, but has a white outline around it and is shifted to the left. Then we see the words:

The Harvey Entertainment Company-

wiped on the right of the logo. Harvey the clown winks his eye at the end.

Variants :
 * On the video game of said movie, the logo is still.
 * On season 1 and early season 2 episodes of The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper, the words "A UNIVERSAL CARTOON STUDIOS PRODUCTION", in Universal's corporate logo font, fade in underneath the logo as the company name wipes in.
