Midnight Radio

Background
Midnight Radio was formed in 2006 as "Space Floor Television" by Going to California writers Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Scott Rosenberg. Jeff Pinkner later joined the company in 2014, and renamed to its current moniker, which is based off a fact from playing radio late at night while driving with the coolest and weirdest music.

Logo: On a green background, we see a blue stripe that has a series of horizontal lines on the left and right. Beneath the stripe is a photo of a red Saturn with a yellow ring. We see a silhouette of a man holding a mop bucket cart in it. We can also see two men holding mops on the left and right side of Saturn's ring. Above the top right of Saturn's ring and the stripe, we can see three white stars. Below the Saturn's ring is the words "SPACE FLOOR" in a stylized font with a white outline and a star is between the two words.

On the white circular lines we see the Saturn and the man with a cart from before, but in black and white, minus the two men holding mops, replacing various circles the original Indian head test pattern had.
