Closing Logo Group

1994-1996[]

Debmar Studios

Nickname: "Debmar Searchlight"

Logo: On a black background, we see the words "DEBMAR STUDIOS" in gold three-dimensional font. Above it, the words "DISTRIBUTED BY", in white sans serif font, chryoned-in. The background wipes with a searchlight-like revealing brown color.

FX/SFX: The background wiping.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extinct. This was found on a period TV airing of The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat.

2004-2006[]

Nicknames: "Leaping Jaguar", "The Debmar Jaguar"

Logo: Several crystal-textured Copperplate letters, reading "DEBMAR STUDIOS" and reflecting the image of a jaguar in them, overlap each other and move around. Then, they zoom in, as the text "DEBMAR STUDIOS" quickly zooms out at the top of the screen, while a flash brings in a movie negative with a jaguar leading through it underneath the text.

Variant: A shorter version also exists.

FX/SFX: The text moving and the zooming.

Music/Sounds: A loud ascending whoosh, followed by a stock jaguar roar sound effect.

Availability: Extinct. Was seen on syndicated reruns of pre-2006 South Park episodes.

Editor's Note: Some have been caught off guard by the jaguar roar.

Final Note: In 2006, Debmar Studios and Mercury Entertainment merged together to formed Debmar-Mercury.
