Spiffy Pictures

Background
Spiffy Pictures is a Chicago-based production company founded by brothers David and Adam Rudman, both of whom (specifically the former) are known for their work on Sesame Street. The company centers around producing shows for preschoolers and are known for their puppetry work.

(August 31, 2004-November 8, 2008, November 25, 2015-)


Nickname: "Spiffy!"

Logo: On a tangerine background, an oval with a cartoon animal wearing an artist's cap, inside a circle with "SPIFFY" at the top and "PICTURES" at the bottom, zooms out to the middle of the screen. The animal zooms up, says "Spiffy!", zooms back out and winks.

Variants:
 * On Bunnytown, the animation is different, the logo starts when the animal says "Spiffy!" and the accordion plays late.
 * In 2015, the logo was redone with new animation and a different font for the logo’s text (to match the website logo), but the audio and overall concept of the original logo were kept the same. On Nature Cat and Donkey Hodie, the animal doesn’t say anything and just winks.

FX/SFX: The oval and animal moving.

Music/Sounds: A 2-note accordion jingle followed by the animal's dialogue (voiced by David Rudman) and two dings as he winks.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On the Jack's Big Music Show episode "Spunky the Alien", the animal says "Swinky!"
 * On the Jack's Big Music Show episode "Silly Show", the animal sounds like a parrot. It sounds like he's saying "SPUNKEH?!".
 * On Nature Cat and Donkey Hodie, the ending theme is heard.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on Jack's Big Music Show, Bunnytown, Nature Cat, Frankie and Frank, Curious Buddies, and Donkey Hodie. Don't expect this to appear on Scooby-Doo Adventures: The Mystery Map, though the company was credited for the production.

Editor's Note: A nostalgic logo for fans of their work. It is also, for better or worse, a common subject of usually low-quality "logo edits" on YouTube.
