Zoo Productions

Background

1st Logo (January 1999-2001)
Logo: On a light blue fabric background, we see a box. The light blue letters of "Z", "O" and "O" move toward and spin while settling in the box. The word "PRODUCTIONS" zooms out from below the logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: Three whoosh sounds, followed by a cry.

Availability: Seen on The Blame Game, Crush and Mandy Moore Show.

2nd Logo (September 21, 2002-September 24, 2009)
Logo: On a white background, we see moving and twisting blurred letters, that zoom out to reveal the words "ZOO PRODUCTIONS" in a strange, weird font from the pieces, with the moving text sliding in from a sky background with clouds, and some outlines.

Byline: Starting in 2008, a byline "an ALL3MEDIA company" appears below.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A whoosh sound, with chimes and a lion roaring. Original Fox airings of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? used a generic theme.

Availability: Seen on Girls Behaving Badly, Speeders, and the original Fox version of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

3rd Logo (September 21, 2009-December 19, 2014)
Logo: On a white background, the black beveled letter "Z" zooms in, followed by a letter "O", which stands next to the letter "Z", followed by another letter "O", which stands next to the other "O". All the letters are surrounded by a drop shadow. The word "Productions" fades in, and the byline "an all3media company" is on the bottom right.

Variants:
 * A sped-up version exists.
 * Starting in 2010, a light forms the "Productions" text and the byline from a blink effect. Also, the movements of the letters are different.
 * Starting in 2013, the All3Media America logo is shown next to the logo.
 * On Slednecks, the Parallel Entertainment Partners logo is next to the logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds:
 * 2009-2010: A 4-note synth theme.
 * 2010-2014: Three thud noises, followed by a whoosh sound.
 * Sometimes, the end theme plays over the logo, or a generic theme.

Availability: Seen on the syndicated version of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, Family Game Night, World's Worst Tenants, Over The Limit, PrankStars, Buckwild and Slednecks.
