Ashens

Background
Ashens is a YouTube channel run by British comedian and product reviewer Stuart Ashen, where he mainly reviews various products, usually food, video games and items bought from variety stores.

Logo (June 5, 2008-)
Logo: On a grey background, we see a stylised rendition of Stuart Ashen on the left and the text "ASHENS.COM" on the right. The text flashes three times, after which googly eyes are placed on Stuart.

Variants:
 * Starting from "Quickshot Supervision Review" in 2009, the intro has been redone in HD, and the red illumination now goes around the text.
 * From 2019 onwards, the ".COM" is removed and Stuart's illustration is zoomed in.
 * On "Dingoo A320 Review", Stuart headbangs and fire is seen at the bottom half. The video also inverts halfway through.
 * On the Poundland Specials, his eyes are replaced with £1 coins and the text "POUNDLAND SPECIAL" appears on the bottom right.
 * On food reviews, he vomits out a green line and the text "FOOD STUFF" appears on the bottom right.
 * On reviews of food from Poundland, he vomits out a green line while his eyes are replaced with £1 coins, all while "POUNDLAND SPECIAL" is on the bottom right.
 * On Christmas specials, there is a snow effect, Stuart is wearing a Santa hat, his eyes are replaced with baubles and it says "XMAS THING" on the bottom right.
 * On Halloween specials, he wears a vampire outfit with fangs and red eyes. The text on the bottom right says "HALLOWEEN THING".
 * On blind bag reviews, his face is covered in a paper bag with "BLIND BAGS" on the bottom right.

Technique: Basic 2D computer animation.
