Nickname: "The Blue Blob"
Logo: Against a black background, a steel blue blob quickly zooms up to us. Then, the words:
"OH THAT
GUS!"
inc.
zoom up, one by one, just as quickly. The words are colored white, and are written in a bulged-out font similar to the kind used in the Family Guy logo. The entire logo then quickly zooms out.
Variant: On Monarch, the logo is next to the London Calling, Inc. logo, and starts at the point where the company name is formed.
FX/SFX: 2D Flash animation.
Music/Sounds: An upbeat, 1960's-like three-note brass fanfare with a "ding" as the end, which is synced up to the animations of the logo as the words appear. A film projector sound is also heard throughout. Composed by Brian Wankum.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On No Ordinary Family, the same tune is played on a piano, and the "ding" is replaced with a quiet "thud" at the end. The film projector sound is also removed. This was composed by Josh Kramon.
- On Monarch, it's silent.
- Original Fox and ABC airings of the shows used a generic theme.
Availability: Seen on Tru Calling, Reunion and Monarch on Fox, and Big Shots and No Ordinary Family on ABC.
