Vyond

Background
Vyond (formerly known as Go!Animate and GoAnimate) is an American cloud-based, animated video creation platform that was founded in 2007 by Alvin Hung after his wife begged him to make an animation for her. It is designed to allow business people with no background in animation to quickly and easily create animated videos. These videos can be created in multiple styles, including 2D animation, whiteboard animation (a.k.a. videoscribing or scribing) and video infographics. The company rebranded to its current name on May 6, 2018.

The company is best known for a video trend called "Grounded videos", about protagonists from preschool shows (Dora the Explorer, Caillou, etc.) getting into trouble for various reasons and being grounded for a long time that the TTS system fails to recognize the large numbers.

1st Logo (January 22?, 2009-September 13?, 2010)
Logo: On a black background, "Created with" fades in. Once it fades in, the 2007-2010 Go!Animate logo in black and white falls and lands on the ground. A stick figure's three clones are seen fading in on a flip book. "G" bounces, "o" runs and an exclamation point appears to form "Go!" in gold.

Technique: Digital 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Ultra rare. Its first known appearance was during in January 2009 as the outro of GoAnimate videos at the time, then appeared on Go!Animate videos that were exported onto YouTube during March-September of 2010 (and the exporting feature was only available to GoPlus users at the time, so that may or may not be the reason for the rarity).

2nd Logo (September 13?, 2010-October 7?, 2013)
Logo: We see a gray background with some characters from different themes (Lil' Peepz, Stick Figures, Politics & Celebrity, Monster Mayhem, AKON, Comedy World, Cartoon Classics, Space Peepz and Lil' Petz World). "created with" fades in. The 2010-2013 Go!Animate logo comes in quickly, and it stops. The tagline "easily make animations exactly the way you want." fades in moving.

Trivia: The logo was created by GoAnimate founder Alvin Hung.

Variant: There's a zoomed-in version on the late 2010 demo, it lacks the "created with" text and the exclamation mark doesn't flicker a bit when the logo stopped.

Technique: Digital 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen at the end of almost every Go!Animate video from 2010 to 2013. The late 2010 demo variant would be practically extinct if it weren't found in late 2022.

Legacy: It is more generic than the other ones, but still pretty well-known within the Go!Animate community.

(October 7?, 2013-June 30, 2019)
Logo: On a turquoise background, we see the "o" in gold. The Business Friendly people (two children, a dog, two men and one woman) are seen running to enter the "o", then it bounces and rings are seen zooming in to expand the dark blue background. "Animate" is seen coming behind the "o". The "o" moves rapidly to expand "Animate" and several stripes are seen moving quickly and they fade away. The camera zooms to see the unfinished GoAnimate logo. The arrow cursor comes out of the "o" and moves. It comes back dragging the "G" and enters back to the "o", forming the GoAnimate logo, which is the same as the second Go!Animate logo, only that it lacks the "!". "Created with" and the tagline "Make Professional Animated Videos. Easily." move quickly below the GoAnimate logo.

Trivia: Like the previous logo, this logo was done by Alvin Hung.

Variant: An aspect ratio version exists.

Technique: Digital 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Common. Can be seen at the end of almost every GoAnimate video from 2013 to 2019. It also plastered older GoAnimate logos on newer prints of older videos. This outro was quietly retired from videos made using the main GoAnimate website in 2015. Despite this, it remained in use on videos made using GoAnimate for Schools until the website was discontinued on June 30, 2019.

Legacy: This was made around the time GoAnimate has slowly shifted into becoming a business site.

Final Note: This outro is the last to be used on any GoAnimate or Vyond video. Starting in 2015, no GoAnimate or Vyond video on the main website used an outro ever since. However, videos made using GoAnimate for Schools continued to use this outro until the website was shut down on June 30, 2019.
