Adult Swim IDs

Background
In its history, Adult Swim had a plethora of IDs that would play when the block signs off at 6:00 AM (1:00 AM, 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM in its early years).

Exit (September 2, 2001-January 5, 2003)


ID: On a pool setting, we see 2 girls with black swimsuits leaving a pool. We then cut to an exit sign, before it then cuts to the Adult Swim "black circle" logo (which consists of a black circle, the words "adult swim" in, and a yellow penumbra) on a white background.

Technique: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of water, and then a quiet beep sound.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The beep noise heard in the ID is also heard in the Atlanta ID.

Availability: Extinct. This was the first ever sign-off ID that the block has used.

Action (February 23, 2002-January 4, 2003)


ID: On a white background, we see the same logo from the last ID. We constantly see, and  lights, which pops up mostly for less than 1 second. These lights are cut off with the Adult Swim logo with varying sizes (shrunk, enlarged, off-centered, or removed).

Technique: A mix of limited animation and live-action.

Music/Sounds: A collection of sci-fi-esque beeps, with a robotic voice saying "Good night. Sweet dreams" in the end.

Availability: Extinct. This ID was used on early airings of Adult Swim's now-defunct action block, Adult Swim Action (stylized as Adult Swim AcTN, or simply AcTN).

First Aid (January 12-May 21, 2003)


ID: On a black background with yellow filmstrip, we see Harvey Birdman performs mouth-to-mouth for Phil Ken Sebben, Meatwad on fire, Brak saves a choking victim, the doctors bandaging Andy French while he's sleeping on the couch, a woman trying perform CPR inside Master Shake's straw, and then the Adult Swim "black circle" logo (which is slightly modified) appears as it has a film burn and the Cartoon Network logo (with the Adult Swim URL underneath it) at the end.

Technique: Simplistic animation with film effects.

Music/Sounds: A techno beat accompanied by various sound effects (including Meatwad's scream). Towards the end, an announcer says "Adult Swim!". The music was composed by Michael Kohler.

Availability: Extinct.

Adult Swim is Your Friend (May 2004-January 22, 2006, January 29, 2006-December 26, 2010)
ID: We see dilapidated posters, duplicated around the screen. The poster contains a grey background, Space Ghost (from Space Ghost Coast to Coast) doing an arm pose, white text that says "ADULT SWIM IS YOUR FRIEND", and a black circle with the Adult Swim logo.

Variant: In January 2006, the posters were changed to have a shade of blue, and was shortened from 15 seconds to 10 seconds.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of Devine Lite by Ralph Allwood.

Availability: Extinct.

The Dawn Is Your Enemy (March 29, 2005-January 31, 2010, September 6-8, 2021)
ID: On a light grey background, we see a landscape along with some white flowers seen in front of the screen. A sun is seen rising behind the landscape which has a face. A pair of two worried human eyes can be seen on the top of the screen. In the middle of the screen is the white text "The Dawn Is Your Enemy". Everything in the ID is all colorless.

Trivia:


 * This ID is often parodied by Adult Swim themselves, such as the ID being flipped (which is parodying a tweet asking Adult Swim to make the ID in widescreen, via @adultswim IDs), 'friendly', and also through unexpected appearances.
 * The original idea was supposed to be a punishment to kids when they decided to stay up late watching their block even though they are not allowed to by using the unusual image.

Variant: The ID briefly returned in 2021 (due to the celebration of Adult Swim's 20th anniversary) as a sign-off ID for 3 days, with it being cropped in widescreen and being a bit darker.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: Some ambient sounds, and a faint sound that sounds like a long metal scrape or a power saw.

Music/Sounds Trivia: It was discovered in 2022 that the audio of this logo is actually from the song "Violence Is A Menace" by Bola Adekimi. The instrumental version of the full track can be found here, while a version with lyrics can be found here.

Availability: Extinct as a sign-off ID, extremely rare as an ID in general. This has a chance of appearing during commercial breaks as a parody, like the ones seen in the trivia.

Legacy: This bumper has earned a reputation (as well as popularity) for its creepy atmosphere. So much so, the bump spawned an infamous creepypasta that involved a full version of the bump existing, with the audio slowly turning from the ambient sounds to screaming and people being murdered. At the end, the sun winked before the channel went off-air to remedy the problem. Consequently, this was apparently the reason the bump was retired. Of course, this is fake and no such version exists, nor was it the reason. Adult Swim simply started using new bumps (but they were similar in style to the ones they replaced) until another makeover happened in 2011.

Last Chance Saloon (July 2007-October 2008)


ID: Behind some trees, we see an abandoned building with text on it that says "LAST·CHANCE·SALOON", below a dirt-like ground. The AcTN logo can be seen, printed in cardboard, albeit being barely visible.

Trivia: The building in the ID is an actual building located in Modena, Utah.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of either Insomniac Olympics by Blockhead, or Easier by Grizzly Bear.

Availability: Extinct.

Adult Swim, Our Friend (March 11-June 2008)


ID: Below a mossy cement floor, we see a wall. On the left is a white poster, which is all ripped up. On the right is the same poster from the Adult Swim is Your Friend ID, but partially torn-up, which makes "IS Y" invisible, making it say "ADULT SWIM OUR FRIEND".

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of Passion by Nightmare on Wax.

Availability: Extinct.

America (July 29-August 31, 2014)
ID: We see many shots of different places from the United States of America in the following order: a grassy plain, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Washington Monument, a stampede of horses, 4 jet planes flying, Mount Rushmore, an eagle flying, the Brooklyn Bridge, a pirate ship sailing with the Statue of Liberty in view, and the Star-Spangled Banner. In the end, the words "Thank you for watching [adult swim]" fades in.

Technique: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: A dreamy rendition of the USA national anthem (which is Star-Spangled by Fatima Al Qadiri). Towards the end, an announcer says "This concludes our broadcast day. Thanks for watching Adult Swim."

Availability: Extinct. This was the most short-lived sign-off ID in the block's history, lasting for only 2 months.

Atlanta (September 1, 2014-May 11, 2019)
ID: We see many time-lapse shots of 1065 Williams Street NW in Atlanta, Georgia (which is where the Williams Street office is located in), showing the following: An overhead view of the office above a road, a close-up of an Adult Swim flag next to the Star-Spangled-Banner, a view of the flags from the roof, a statue of an owl, another view of the flags, another view of the owl statue, a view of what seems to be a balcony from the office (the owl statue can be seen here) as it turns to night time, a view of the front of the office, a close-up of a screen with the shortened Adult Swim logo (the Turner logo can be seen above the screen) and a close-up of the owl. The ID simply ends with the Adult Swim logo on a black background.

Technique: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last ID, but with additional sound effects in the end; the hoot of an owl, and the same beep from the Exit ID. Later in March 2019, the national anthem is replaced by Cuts by Darkstar, as well as the removal of a beep sound.

Availability: Extinct.

Legacy: This ID is a favorite of many due to its music, which was used in the previous ID but is more famous here. It is also quite nostalgic among those who watched Adult Swim at the time.

8-Bit America (May 12-July 25, 2019, August 2-December 31, 2019)
ID: We cut to a series of several American landmarks with pixel illustrations of AS characters either as them or near them (such as Eric Andre as the Abraham Lincoln statue, Harvey Birdman as the Statue of Liberty, etc.) In the final scene, we see the White House (with the "AS" initials on top of it) from the outside, with a circling red, white and blue sunset-like background, with stars shooting from the bottom of the stripes. Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith (from Rick and Morty) are seen behind the building, with Morty to the left and Rick to the right. Morty is seen with his arms folded with a smug expression on his face, staring to the left of the camera, while Rick is seen looking directly in the camera waving to the screen.

Variant: There is an alternate version where Rick and Morty are giving their middle fingers, which was shortly used in two months. Also, Rick has a wide, diabolical grin and Morty's mouth is opened.

Technique: Animation by Paul Robertson.

Music/Sounds: An 8-bit version of the USA national anthem.

Availability: Extinct.

Morph (January 1-July 3, 2020, April 1, 2022)
ID: We see multiple pieces rapidly fly in to transform into various, corrupted pictures of various Adult Swim characters on varying backgrounds. These characters would appear rather quickly as they would stutter and morph into the next character within several frames. After some characters as well as the near end of the ID, the screen rapidly transforms or glitches before transforming into the next character. A longer sequence of this happens near the end of the ident before a purple light bursts into the screen, showing Adult Swim's initials in magenta with the form of a human heart.

Trivia: Characters featured in the bump include (in order from appearance):
 * Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!)
 * Eric Wareheim (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!)
 * Eric Andre (The Eric Andre Show)
 * Hannibal Buress (The Eric Andre Show)

Variants:
 * There is a version where the ID is zoomed in further than usual, which was shortly used in 10 days.
 * There is an unused version where the parts of TOM 6 are replaced by the parts of Moltar and Lil.

Technique: Very glitchy animation by Off the Air animator KOKOFREAKBEAN, who also made the "Goliath" and "Shaman Economics" IDs (which include the human heart-styled Adult Swim logo from this signoff at the end of them).

Music/Sounds: A corrupted rendition of the USA national anthem in sync with the animation.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the April Fool's variant, the audio was replaced with Pibby (from the famous Come and Learn with Pibby proof-of-concept short; voiced by Nikki Castillo) singing a goodbye song accompanied with toy xylophone notes.

Availability: Extinct. Was briefly brought back for April Fool's Day in 2022.

Legacy: These signoffs were unpopular with viewers due to their loud, in-your-face, and epileptic nature.

Dinner Party (July 4, 2020-October 31, 2022)
ID: TBA.

Technique: A calm, psychedelic animation by Angela Stempel.

Music/Sounds: A slower, more laidback rendition of the USA national anthem.

Availability: No longer current. As of November 1, 2022, the signoff has been replaced with advertising for CNN This Morning (a replacement of New Day), which plays at the same time on all other Warner Bros. Discovery stations.

Legacy: Despite the deranged animation, this ID is considered strangely peaceful, and as a result is more popular than the previous signoff.

The Still Image (May 2004-Late 2010)
Logo: We see a still image of a real-life photograph or drawing. Some of the IDs here contain the Adult Swim wordmark (or the Adult Swim coat of arms) plastered on an object. Various shows like Family Guy, The Boondocks, The Venture Bros., and Futurama had their own IDs. Said shows also had their own IDs for their marathons on the block.

Variants: The following are listed in the gallery's order:
 * Watch, Don't Run: We see a dark hallway. On the top is a sign that says "FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, WATCH, DON'T RUN".
 * Owls Only: We see a road. There are symbols placed on the road, those being an arrow, an owl, and the word "ONLY".
 * Rusty Car: We see a rusty car (with the Adult Swim wordmark on the left side of it) in a road. It is barely visible to see it, but there is a tiny Ignignokt (from Aqua Teen Hunger Force) in the car's window.
 * Baggage Room: Inside a building, we see a door with the words "BAGGAGE ROOM" on it, along with the Adult Swim coat of arms on the windows.
 * Park: We see a building from an angle, next to some trees and a road. Printed on the building is the Adult Swim coat of arms.
 * You Should Be Here: We see a building with the words "YOU SHOULD BE HERE". A symbol of a person on top of an escalator covers up a quarter of the screen.

Technique: Mostly none. Some IDs have film effects, or simple animation of the logo turning from black-and-white into color.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt of a song, mostly those from the Lo-Fi and Hip-Hop genre.

Availability: TBA.

Legacy: These IDs are best known for their calm, catchy and memorable songs.

The Tokyo Brackets (July 3, 2004-June 9, 2007)
ID: We see the real-life photograph of a location from Tokyo, Japan. In these IDs, we see the Adult Swim brackets closed inside an object, and the location (stylized as "//[LOCATION]//") and timestamps of when the photograph was taken.

Simplistic Action (January 2005-March 2008)
ID: All of the IDs here contain an action and Japanese theme to them. See variants for the list of IDs. There were 2 sets of these bumps.

Variants:


 * It Is Time For More: TBA


 * FMA Balloon Scroll: Screen starts off with a close up of balloons, then pans to the right side of the screen showing more balloons. The screen then zooms out and pans down a scroll showing a picture of the Elric Brothers from the show. A panel then shows some Japanese text scrolling in from the right of the screen diagonally, Another panel displays a War Tank scrolling in from the left over a black and orange background that appears to be some kind of land. The panel under that shows red Japanese text (translating to "Adult Swim is Your Friend") then the panel below has "Fullmetal Alchemist" displaying in orange. The last panel shows a Horse-like creature with a Lightning Bolt for a Tail over an alternating black and red background that spins. The scroll is followed by Japanese text (Translating to "Adult Swim"). There is a 10 second variant of the bump that removes the close up shots of the balloons. That variant later got another slight change that adds some 2nd gen VHS effects to it.


 * ACTN Owl: On a dark white background, we first see small Japanese text. We then scroll down to see many  lines. Whilst scrolling, we see 2 duplicates of the Japanese words "大人の楽しみ" ("Adult Fun") inside 2 tan lines. On top of all of this are  geometric lines in the shape of an owl's face. We stop scrolling down to see 3  circles, with the AcTN logo sliding up on the circle in the middle.
 * Inuyasha Dog Barking: On a bluish background, the words "INU" and "YASHA" slide in from both sides. Then, the environment lights up, which turns "INU"  and "YASHA" white. Then, a dog in a wagon comes in on the floor and barks.


 * Fun4Adults: On a black background, a face slides from below. Simultaneously, the same Japanese text from the Owl ID, "大人の楽しみ", slides from top. Then, the words "FUN4ADULTS" and "冬ブヨがうじゃうじゃ周りに いるよ！" (Roughly "Winter fireflies are around!") slides from the left. The face then nods repeatedly.


 * Clouds over Williams Street: On a light green background, we see a black bar facing sideways. Then, a light red building slides from above, which a striking resemblance to the building that the Williams Street Productions logo uses. Then, the Japanese text "見逃すな！アダルト スイム" ("Don't miss it! Adult Swim") respectively slide to each other on the black bar. White clouds then slide up behind the building.


 * Dog Hit By Arrow: On a light blue background with flowers on all corners of the screen, we see the silhouette of a wolf's head. A black arrow then flies from the right, slowly moving to the head. When it reaches the head, black blood drops appear, and then kanji text appears below the head. The logo then disappears and cuts to the Adult Swim logo in Japanese.


 * Trigun Pink Western Guy: On a background with a plain  ground, a white circle with 'eyes' and a large  sunburst slides up. Then, 4 spinning  pinwheels slide up from the ground. Then, a child in a  cowboy costume holding a gun slides in from the right. Simultaneously, a black figure slides above the ground behind the spinning sunburst. The words "t r i g u n" slides from above in the ground, in.


 * Spider Dropping with Guy's Head: TBA


 * Atom Bomb & Horse: On a dark blue background with multiple thin lines around the screen, we see a yellow letter "A" with cloud-like lines all over the letter. Then, a trapezoidal black-and-white picture of people looking at a mushroom cloud slides up inside the A. Simultaneously, a yellow square slides up to the bottom-right of the screen (next to the A). Then, a white picture of a Pegasus slides up behind the yellow square, with a registration trademark symbol (®) on it's horn. Then, a letter "S" slides up inside the yellow A, forming the letters "AS", the abbreviation for Adult Swim. Inside the yellow square, black Japanese text slides in from the right. Simultaneously, 4 small 'clouds' slide in from the right, one-by-one. In the last of the line of clouds is a picture of a bear-like face with a colorless rainbow on it's head and a single arm (this is one of the many symbols for AcTN, with it being frequently used on the block. This particular symbol is nicknamed "One Handed Guy".).


 * We'd Like To See You Try: On a rusty yellow background, we see text on the right that says "WE'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY". On the left is a man, holding a rectangular object in front of his eyes. On top of the text is a sledgehammer. The sledgehammer then hits the man, and a burst that says "OK!" appears.


 * ACTN Green One Handed Guy: On a sea green background, we see rings of light green squares rotating around the screen. The squares are spiraling around the One Handed Guy symbol, with the word "A C T N" below the symbol. The symbol and text rotates as well.


 * Bull Film Reel: On a black background, a dark yellow card slides from above, with a frame-like border around it. The card displays what seems to be a minotaur with wings, holding a sword. Next to the minotaur's legs are 2 unicorns, holding axes. Another card slides in from above, containing the words "大人の楽しみ" ("Adult Fun"). The last slide is a banner on top of a cloud. Below the cloud is the Adult Swim logo in Japanese. Above the banner is more Japanese text.
 * Come Along Friend: On a rusty background, we see Japanese text. Below the text is the words "presents". The words "COME ALONG FRIEND" is seen below the presents text, with 2 unicorn-like bears holding axes on both sides of the text. Below the text is a mistletoe. We scroll down to see a screen with a frame, which contains an  sky and a  ground.  Then, the One Handed Guy symbol is seen flying in the sky, which makes a  rainbow. We then stop scrolling to see a bull with wings, 2 axes crossed together, and the text "見逃すな！" ("Don't Miss It!") below.


 * Blue Film Reel: On a black background, a light blue card slides from above, similar to the Bull Film ID. There are 3 cards, all in sky-blue. The first card contains a 'dead' face. The second card contains the text "大人の楽しみ" ("Adult Fun"). The final slide contains a  circle with hands crossed, containing 2 axes, and the Adult Swim logo in Japanese (This is another symbol for AcTN, being nicknamed as "Arms with Tear").


 * Don't Even Try To Read This: On a white- gradient background with a triangle in the center, we see 2 lines, one in light blue and one in black, sliding down from above and below, to stack on top of each other. The Japanese words "アドルトスイムはあなたの味方です" ("Adult Swim is your friend") slide inside the light blue line, while the words "don't even try to read this" in  slides inside the black line. Simultaneously, 2 One Handed Guy symbols slide from the left and right of the screen, and the head of a gerenuk (a type of antelope) is seen on the  triangle. Then, the words "見逃すな！" ("Don't Miss It!") slides in from above.
 * Bear with Chainsaw Film: TBA


 * Bear with Hockey Mask: On a sea green background with a 'triangle', a hockey mask slides up behind a  rectangle. Then, a minotaur wearing a suit slides from the right of the 'triangle'. Suddenly, the hockey mask jumps up, revealing that it's a bear wearing a hockey mask. A scope (those seen in sniper rifles) aims at the bear. Japanese text slides above. To the left of the wordmark is the face of a bull with wings, with Japanese text below it.


 * Cowboy Bebop Sherriff Star: TBA


 * Clown & Griffin Oil Well (Crane Head): TBA


 * ACTN Orange Fun Start Soon Now (25c): We first see an version of the Arms with Tear symbol slide up. Then, a white box containing hard-to-describe features slides in from the right. Then, a 'dead' face slides up inside an  line. Then, the camera pans down to reveal the giant letters "NOW" in a  shadow. Japanese text is seen below the NOW text. We then pan down to see the back of a man on an  background. A speech bubble appears, containing the One Handed Guy symbol and Japanese text below the symbol. The camera pans down to make way for a robotic-like arm to rotate behind the man. The arm then shoots tracked lines against a person with the head of a wolf, wearing army-like clothing. The person's head gets it's eyes plastered by black X's. A bubble reading "25𝇍" appears below the person. The camera then pans down to the AcTN wordmark. To the left is the same minotaur symbol from the Bear With Hockey Mask ID. Above the wordmark is the Adult Swim logo in Japanese.
 * Super Milk Chan:
 * OK!: On a striped background, we scroll down to see a frame with rainbow coloring inside it. Inside the frame, Milk's head slowly slides up. We then scroll down to see a white "M" sliding inside a white line. The "M" rotates, and stops at a slanted position when a black burst with the words "OK!" on it appears. While we scroll down again, black paint drops slide down, the Adult Swim logo in Japanese slides from the bottom-left, and Hanage slowly walks on the background. Then, we stop scrolling to see the words "SUPER MILK CHAN™" in black and a white cloud below it.
 * You Dumb**s!: TBA

The next set of ACTN bumps were introduced in May 2005 and were phased out gradually from mid 2007 until March 2008 when the weeknight anime block went defunct. In January 2009, Three ACTN bumps from the 2nd set were aired again after the Gametap and AdultSwim.com promos were dropped as Adult Swim just went back to the bumps that those promos replaced back in Spring 2007. These last three aired until January 2010 when a new bump rebrand came.

Clown Kids: Buffet Girl (December 27, 2010-????)
ID: We see a girl in clown makeup, stealing a stack of cheese. Then, a woman shouts "THIEF!" at the girl. To the right is a poorly made CGI version of Frylock from Aqua Teen Hunger Force (strangely, he didn't have the eyebrows, a scar in the eye, and a beard), which flies around the screen. Then, we cut to the girl, who makes a surprised expression. We cut to the woman shouting "THIEF!" again, along with the CGI Frylock flying around. We cut once again back to the girl, before we cut into the Adult Swim logo on a black background.

Technique: It is basically a clip from the 1976 self-mage film If Mirrors Could Speak. Live-action and CGI.

Music/Sounds: An ominous chime, accompanied with the word "THIEF!" being shouted 3 times.

Availability: Extinct.

Asian Robots: Crawling (December 29, 2010-January 2011)


ID: We see a man in a suit (who is actually a robot) crawling in the ground. Then, when a person walks by the camera, the Adult Swim logo wipes in.

Trivia: The crawling businessman in the ID is actually a work of performance art by Momoyo Torimitsu. The footage of the robot in the ID was filmed at the streets of Sydney, Australia.

The [adult swim] text pans downwards as the words "FIGHT ROOM sponsored by" appear above it. When this text disappears, a yellow chainsaw comes onscreen, accompanied by the words "CHAINSAW MATCH special" in red lettering. The chainsaw spins in the center of the scene before morphing into two chainsaws, one of which goes to each contestant. The camera zooms in on Blue as he looks down at his chainsaw before suddenly glancing up. We cut to the Red running towards Blue, who blocks his attack. The camera cuts between the two contestants with their blades locked and sparks flying, until the Blue suddenly thrusts upwards, causing Red's chainsaw to go flying in the air. Both contestants give a shocked look, and the chainsaw comes falling down, lodging in Red's head. Blood pours down his face, and his body is ultimately flayed open as Blue looks on in horror with gore splattering onto him. As the Blue stares down at Red's body, dollar bills come raining down, and the text "BLUE WIN$! sponsored by [adult swim]" appears onscreen.
