Titmouse, Inc.

Background
Titmouse Inc. is a production company founded by Chris Prynoski in 2000 after he had moved into Hollywood, California. Some of the projects Titmouse have done include MTV's Downtown, Megas XLR, and Metalocalypse.

(August 6, 2006-)
Nicknames: "The Titmouse", "The Titmouse Bird", "Chirp"

Logo: A cartoon tufted titmouse says "Chirp" in a white circle on a black background. We then zoom out to see the text "titmouse", with "INC." under "e", all in a stylized font with a protruding shadow on a blue background with sunrays. The titmouse's silhouette makes up the hole in the "o". The logo slowly zooms out a bit more before either cutting to black or the next logo after it.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the "INC." is replaced with ".net".
 * A new animated long version debuted on Nerdland. The logo starts out on a dark sky with many clouds. Then the bird from the logo flies onto the screen. Then he flies closer to the screen. As he flies, a moon appears behind him. Then a branch appears. The bird sits on the branch with the moon behind him. The background fades to black, the moon to a white circle, and the bird turns into its normal colors. The rest of the logo plays out normally, albeit without "INC." in it.
 * On Big Mouth, it is still on the left square sharing with one of the three vanity cards (Good at Bizness, Danger Goldberg and Fathouse, varies depending on the episode) on the right square.
 * On T.O.T.S.: Tiny Ones Transport Service, a short version is used in which the logo quickly zooms out as soon as the titmouse says "Chirp" and the sound effects start playing sooner.
 * An in-credit version exists with inverted colors (black text and white bird and shadow) which, like the long version, lacks the word "INC.".
 * On Q-Force, the logo is next to the 3 Arts Entertainment logo.

FX/SFX: Flash animation. Very well done, as expected from Titmouse.

Music/Sounds: The bird saying "Chirp" in a deep male voice, and some strange futuristic noises (a laser zap and a rising swoosh) followed by a "BOP!" sound.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On The Venture Bros., the voice is replaced with a different character (varies depending on the episode) saying "Chirp", or a different word.
 * On Big Mouth, the voice is heard, followed by the vanity card's sound.
 * On the long version, it starts off with a loud timpani hit that echoes long after it is played, and then a synthesized chorus note plays. The rest plays as normal.
