Astley Baker Davies

Background
Astley Baker Davies is a British animation company founded by Neville Astley, Mark Baker and Phil Davies in January 1994. In 2015, they were acquired by Entertainment One.

(2002, May 31, 2004-)
Logo: On a black background, we see an oval with a sphere and an upside-down triangle shape inside. The oval spins a bit, while the company name wrapped around it appears, and the oval stops spinning.

Variants:
 * There is an in-credit variant, sometimes with a shadow.
 * A still version of this logo exists.
 * A variant with this logo (in black) in a rectangle with oval spinning is seen on the company website.
 * On Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience, the eOne logo spins to reveal the logo.
 * On the Peppa Pig pitch pilot from 2002, there is a prototype variant where the text is on the bottom with a different font, and a website URL is seen.
 * On current prints of The Big Knights, the shapes inside are replaced with silhouettes of Sir Morris and Sir Boris' helmets, and the text is replaced with "THE・BIG・KNIGHTS・LTD".

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Squeaking chair/door sounds when the oval spins, and a click when it stops spinning. Otherwise, the ending theme or none.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the 2002 pilot of Peppa Pig, the sounds are heard at the same time as the titular character's laugh.

Availability: Common.


 * The in-credit version appears on Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom and Peppa Pig.
 * The animated version can be spotted on DVDs of the aforementioned shows, such as the 2009 remaster of The Big Knights.
 * That contains the still logo at the end of episodes, but other versions (including the original airings) use the BBC Worldwide logo.
