O Entertainment

Background :
O Entertainment is a company founded by Steve Oedekerk in 1990. O Entertainment produced the Thumbs! series (Thumb Wars, Bat-Thumb, Thumbtanic, etc), Santa vs. The Snowman, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and Back at the Barnyard among other shows and movies. In 2007, the company was reincorporated as Omation Animation Studios.

1st Logo (1996-1998)
Logo : On a black background, we see a yellow "O", with "ENTERTAINMENT" also in yellow below it. The "O" then rotates, turning into a lip shape, and says "Ha-ha, Oedekerk!".

FX/SFX : Computer Graphics.

Music/Sounds : A 3-note synth theme, with the "O"'s dialogue playing over it.

Availability : Extinct. It only appeared on the one-off NBC special The O Show (a.k.a. steve.oedekerk.com) and the end of Santa vs. the Snowman.

2nd Logo (1997-2006)
Nickname : "The Purple O"

Logo : On a white background, a purple "O" is on the center, which is surrounded by "entertainment" underneath.

Variants :
 * Sometimes the background is black, the logo is on a white oval, or the logo is smaller.
 * On Santa vs. the Snowman 3D, the logo is on a white oval, and it slowly zooms in.
 * On a June 2014 airing of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius after Nickelodeon's last-scene-of-the-show credits, the logo is superimposed and on a white background.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : None.

Music Variant : At the end of Barnyard, the tail end of "The Barnyard Dance" is heard over it, then the after-song conversation starts before the logo fades out.

Availability : Seen at the end of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and Santa vs. The Snowman 3D.

3rd Logo (September 10, 1998-November 24, 2007)
Nickname : "Jell-O"

Logo : On a black background, we see a giant, gelatinous purple "O" fall to the center of the screen. As it jiggles, "Entertainment" fades in below it.

Variant : Sometimes, "WWW.OEDEKERK.COM" appears below the logo.

FX/SFX : CGI.

Music/Sounds : A low-pitched voice says "O!" accompanied by a dreamy synth tune.

Music/Sounds Variants:


 * On the Jimmy Neutron pilot "Runaway Rocketboy", the synth theme is different and the "O!" voiceover is delayed for a fraction of a second.
 * Thumb Wars has the closing theme, with the voice saying "O!" intact.
 * On the Thumb Wars 1999 VHS at the beginning of the tape, the logo is silent with the "O!" voiceover intact.

Availability : Seen on The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and early episodes of Back at the Barnyard. It also appeared on the Nickelodeon premiere broadcast of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, instead of the closing logo combo from that film.
