Evolution Film and Tape

Video by naxo-olé

1st Logo (1998-2001)
Logo: On a background that changes to show various videos of random objects, the silver-like word "EVOLUTION" emerges and stays in the middle.

FX/SFX: The background changing, the word emerging.

Music/Sounds: A fast breakbeat with weird-sounding screams.

Availability: Extinct. Seen on Bug Juice when it was last aired on Disney Channel in Summer of 2004.

Editor's Note: The weird action in the logo can be found as startling by most people.

2nd Logo (2004-)
Logo: On a red-orange background with a wheel moving behind it, we see 2 lines, one black and one silver, to the left. A stylized hand then thrusts a mallet into the lines, and we zoom out to reveal a black bar with the text "EVOLUTION", in the same font as before, in the center. "EVOLUTION" slowly spaces out.

Variant: In the early 2010s, the logo was enhanced in CGI, with the text now in shiny silver and the background having more movement in it.

FX/SFX: The mallet being put into the wall, the zoom-out.

Music/Sounds: A clang and a deep whoosh noise.

Availability: Uncommon. The enhanced version appears on Vanderpump Rules, Botched, and several series in The Real Housewives franchise. The original version is preserved on the Disney Channel movie Now You See It...

Editor's Note: None.
