Background: Bad Robot is a production company by J.J. Abrams that specializes in television programs as well as film.
1st Logo
(September 30, 2001-2008)[]
Logo: In a box containing fog and some zooming grass, which is situated against a black background, a silhouette of a robot sneaks through the grass at a distance from the left to the right, and then the shabby robot, which is revealed to have a red color scheme, a curved rectangular shaped head, and yellow eyes, appears in front of us. "BAD ROBOT", in a white abstract font, appears below the box when the robot is revealed. Instantly, the picture becomes still.
FX/SFX: The robot moving. Looks like Flash animation.
Music/Sounds: The sounds of rustling grass and the two little kids (actually J.J. Abrams' kids) say the company name. The voice could be heard over ABC's credits music/announcements on BR's shows on that network. 2001-2002: The kids' voice was normal. 2002-2008: The kids' voice was changed to a robotic voice.
Availability: Appears on J.J. Abrams' shows, such as Alias, Lost, What About Brian, early episodes of Dear Savannah, Six Degrees, Person of Interest, and Almost Human.
Editor's Note: This is considered as a humorous logo.
2nd Logo
(2008-)[]
Logo: Same as the movie logo, except the logo is shortened to when the robot appears in full view from the left and the logo fades to a 2D illustration of the image (two logo shots here depict the logo before and after the transformation).
Variant: Starting with Almost Human,after the robot appears the symbols "@" and "_" appears in the company name, makes it read as "@bad_robot".
FX/SFX: The robot moving (this time in CG-reused from the film logo), the fade to the 2D illustration.
Music/Sounds: Same as the first logo.
Availability: Appears on J.J. Abrams' shows, such as Fringe, Dear Savannah, Alcatraz, Revolution, Person of Interest, Almost Human and Believe. May also appear on later episodes of Lost.
Editor's Note: The retained voiceclips of the kids saying the company name can still be considered funny, though the CG appearance of the robot may get to some.
