5th Year Productions

Background
5th Year was a webseries created by troupe Mail Order Comedy, later adapted for TV as Workaholics. Most likely, 5th Year Productions was a subset of Mail Order Company to deal with keeping the license and creative rights of the actual 5th Year franchise. They were presumably folded back into Mail Order Comedy in 2014.

Logo (November 6-8, 2008)


Logo: On a black background, we see a black ribbon emblem with the words "Times New Roman Stencil Times New Roman" on it and a red star on the top right corner. Then the word "Stencil" slides down on the bottom.

Closing Variant: "Stencil" is replaced with the URL "5thyear.com".

FX/SFX: The word "PRESENTS" sliding down.

Music/Sounds:
 * Opening: A sword shining sound.
 * Closing: A guitar tune.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On episode 2 of 5th Year, "Must Be the Money" by Nelly plays over the closing variant.
 * On the opening of episode 5 of 5th Year, the opening theme plays with it, and on the ending it is silent.

Availability: Seen on all five episodes of the webseries 5th Year.

Legacy: Decent for a web logo, and interesting choice of sound contrasting with the logo.

Logo (April 6, 2011-April 16, 2014)


Logo: A pug in a birthday hat is seen inside a room which was apparently thrashed from a party. Balloons litter the screen and in the background are a bottle of champagne and some red Solo cups. The pug snorts and moves his head around, then stops, looking upwards. The 5th Year emblem from the previous logo appears on the top left corner of the screen.

FX/SFX: All intentionally choppy stop-motion.

Music/Sounds: The pug snorting and a party horn noise during the shot where the banner appears.

Availability: Can be seen on seasons 1-4 episodes of Workaholics.

Legacy: Although likely unintentional, it resembles Mad-Dog Productions (with similar static dog image, snarling/snorting and noise arrangement). It is a very cute and funny logo and a favorite among animal lovers and Workaholics fans alike.
