4th Logo[]
(2011-)
Logo: On a green background, we see a black semi-circle, with "PRODUCTIONS" (in white and in sans-serif font) next to it. The "smile" is holding a string. It pulls the string, rising PRODUCTIONS a bit, and the string to fall behind the smile. It takes anbow, as "tbs" jumps up above it, landing on top of the smile.
FX/SFX: Cool CGI. This was produced by Ferro-Concrete and ShadedBox Animations.
Music/Sounds: TBA.
Availability: Pretty common. Seen on King of the Nerds. However, it remains in use even after the 2015 TBS rebranding, which includes a brand new logo. Also seen on Angie Tribeca.
Editor's Note: It's a cool logo.
5th Logo[]
(2016- )
Nicknames: "Seizure TBS", "Not So Funny (To Some People)"
Logo: We see a B on a black background, with a watery texture. Then, a T appears, as the B switches it's texture as the T gets the watery texture. Once again, the textures switch as an S appears. The background then changes to purple and yellow recolor of the unknown image as a rectangle appears behind the letters ,forming the new TBS logo. Then, the background changes to a purple and blue-ish recolor of the unknown video as the letters in tbs turn blue with green stripes. "PRODUCTIONS" then wipes in. The background wiggles until the logo is over.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Everything, which is very crazy! This could give people seizures! It is so weird, really off the scale.
Music/Sounds: A robotic-like tune and an evil laugh with birds chirping.
Availability: Brand new. Seen on The Detour and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.
Editor's Note: The evil laugh and craziness could give seizures.
