The Muppets Studio

The music then stops and the logo shines.

3rd Logo (September 22, 2015-)
Logo: On a dark background, we see the words:

THE MuPPeTS STUDIO

in the distance. As the camera zooms into the words, a bright light shines on the logo and we see the word "MuPPeTS " in a playful Garamond font wobbling from side to side before getting in position.

Variants:
 * There is an in-credit version, currently seen on Muppets Now.
 * A long version exists.

FX/SFX: The camera zooming in, the light shining, the word "MuPPeTS " wobbling. Done by The Lobby.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (July 31, 2021-)
Logo: On a dark background, we zoom out to see a new The Muppets Studio logo, in the same font as the sign in the intro of The Muppet Show and in gold. The logo brightens once it is fully seen as spotlights turn on and shine. Some particles can be seen floating in the background.

Variants:


 * At the beginning of Muppets Haunted Mansion, we zoom through the "O" into the opening scene.
 * At the end of Muppets Haunted Mansion, after the logo animation plays as normal, the screaming goat Muppet that appeared throughout the special pokes its head into the "O" and screams. The goat leaves and we zoom through the "O" like in the opening.


 * On the trailer for Muppets Haunted Mansion, the logo glows purple and flickers over a wallpaper backdrop with what looks like several different Muppet characters included in its design.


 * While most haven't been seen yet, The Muppets Studio VP Leigh Slaughter claims that there will be many custom variants of this logo for various productions.

FX/SFX: Nice CGI!

Music/Sounds: None or the opening or closing theme.

Availability: First seen on an interview with The Muppets Studio VP Leigh Slaughter on Muppet fansite Tough Pigs: Muppet Fans Who Grew Up on July 31, 2021. Was posted in a now deleted tweet on the official Muppet Twitter account and a post to its Instagram shortly after. The Tough Pigs article was briefly deleted, but it's now back up. It made its official debut on Muppets Haunted Mansion.

Editor's Note: A very stylish logo that marks a bright future for upcoming Muppet productions.
