Adult Swim IDs

Background
In it's history, Adult Swim had a plethora of IDs that would play when the block signs off at 6:00 AM (2:00 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 penumbra).

FX/SFX: 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).

FX/SFX: A mix of limited animation and live-action.

Music/Sounds: A collection of Sci-Fi-esque beeps, with 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).

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 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.

FX/SFX: None.

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

Availability: Extinct.

The Dawn Is Your Enemy (March 29, 2005-January 31, 2010)


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.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous ID.

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

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: 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 an 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.

FX/SFX: See above.

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

Availability: Extinct.

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


ID: Below a mossy cement floor, we see a brown 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".

FX/SFX: See above.

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

Availability: Extinct.

America (July 29, 2014-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, a large building, 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.

FX/SFX: 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.

FX/SFX: 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.

Availability: Extinct.

The Tokyo Brackets (July 3, 2004-June 9, 2007)

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.

Variants:
 * 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.
 * 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 looks very similar 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.
 * 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: 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.
 * Atomic Bomb: On a dark blue background with multiple thin lines arround 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".).
 * Hammer: On a rusty 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.
 * Spiral: 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: 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 same words from the Owl ID, "大人の楽しみ". 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.
 * 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 same Japanese text from the Owl ID, "大人の楽しみ". 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").
 * Lamb: 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 eachother. 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 lamb is seen on the  triangle.
 * 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.
 * Crane: TBA
 * 25𝇍: 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, appears. 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 Hockey Mask ID. Above the wordmark is the Adult Swim logo in Japanese.
 * Chainsaw: TBA
 * Balloons: TBA

FX/SFX: Simplistic animation. For the Bull Film and Blue Film Reel IDs, it's coupled with film effects.

The Trigun ID was used as an intro for the anime of the same name. Balloons was used as an intro for Full Metal Alchemist. The block then had a makeover in March 2008, leaving these IDs to be unused. Ultimately, the block would discontinue in May 2012 due to the introduction of the current iteration of Toonami.

Editor's Note: Same as the last ID.

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

Animals: Cat on Slide (January 2011)
ID: We see a calico cat wearing what appears to be a little white tank top shirt while being green screened onto footage of a first-person view of a person going down a large pink slide surrounded by other colorful slides in a carnival while the cat moves vertically up and down making it like its going down the slide. Before sliding down to bottom, the "as" logo pops up with the background being all black and the text showing the ID.

FX/SFX: The cat cheaply moving vertically pretty much done by software green screened onto footage of a first-person view of a person going down the slide.

Cow and Hay Bales (2011)
ID: During daytime, a grassy area is seen. There is an odd arrangement of hay bales, as well as a single hay bale separated from the arrangement. A cow appears from under the hay bales and tries to get up on top of them. The cow then trips and falls on the hay bales, which turns out to be the Penrose Stairs made of Hay Bales. Due to the never ending design of the Penrose Stairs, the cow keeps on falling down them.

FX/SFX: Animation by Cyriak Harris.

Music/Sounds: Sounds of the environment, sound effects relating to the action, music.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Space Chickens (2011)
ID: In space, a large egg with visible mechanical insides and a cup-like part underneath is seen, with an identical, but smaller ship on top of it.

The camera zooms out to show another one, with a mouth open. On the left side, there is an alien with at least 5 spider-like fuzzy legs and a main body resembling a tiger's face, except that the mouth the mains open and more faces are underneath each other. More of these creatures are seen coming out of the UFO's mouth and jumping onto the ground, which isn't visible.

FX/SFX: Same as before

Music/Sounds: Music, some growling, groaning.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: It's a very strange ID, and the animation style can make it feel very creepy.

Elephant Spiral (2011)
ID: On an orange background (somewhat reminiscent of the Lightning Video logo), a long creature resembling a line of elephants, but with more elephants instead of faces, is seen walking on another similar creature, while another walks on top. We zoom out and we find out that the creature is a spiral.

Availability: Extinct. Was only used in December 2013.

Editor's Note: None.

Monster (2014)
Logo: In a beach, a monster suddenly appears. We pan through the monster destroying the top of a building and eating the top of it. We pan to the monster holding cars, and then we pan to the monster slipping and tripping on cars, thus destroying the building and forming the Adult Swim logo.

FX/SFX: Animation from Cyriak Harris.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of the monster, the buildings, and the skating, followed by a thud sound when the monster breaks the skyscraper.

Availability: Possibly extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Carrot (2014)
Logo: In a grass setting, we see a carrot crawling. We then zoom out to reveal a horse, whose body stretches like a worm whenever he walks. He then sees the carrot, and its pupils grow wide and the horse tries to eat the carrot. The horse then tangles his head trying to eat the carrot, and the Adult Swim logo can be briefly seen.

FX/SFX: Animation from Cyriak Harris.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of the carrot, a stretching sound, the neighs of the horse, and when the horse tries to eat the carrot, something that sounds like "NAM NAM NAM!".

Availability: Possibly extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Astronaut (2014)
Logo: In space, we see an astronaut hammering a washing machine with the Adult Swim logo on it. The hammer then hits the astronaut and he falls into the earth and lands on a whale. The astronaut is then sent flying back up into space and the washing machine shoots a laser at the moon, halving it and revealing a freaky spider-like cat along with some small ones as well. The cat then shoots green lasers.

FX/SFX: Animation from Cyriak Harris.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of the hammer, a punch sound, a falling sound (which is reversed when the astronaut is sent back into space), and 2 laser sounds. When the cat shoots the lasers, the same roar from the "Monster" ID.

Availability: Possibly extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Toilet Cow (2014)
Logo: In a small room, we see a toilet. Out of nowhere, a spider-like cow with utters covering each leg climbs out the toilet, and spits out toilet lids with the very last one having the top part of a toilet lid. The top part of the last lid then opens up to reveal a white blob with cow spots. Then, utters form and create another toilet while the setting fades to a cloudy background. A cow with firework spark-like eyes then comes out of the toilet while its ears appear. The cow then moos at the viewer and all of a sudden, the Adult Swim logo appears.

FX/SFX: Animation from Cyriak Harris.

Music/Sounds: First, a toilet being tapped sound, then a suspenseful theme, with more tapping sounds when the cow spits out the toilet lids. A slime-like sound can be heard when the blob appears, then a stomach like sound when the utters appear on the blob. The suspenseful music builds up too when the second toilet is created, and the firework spark-like eyed cow's moo. After, the music comes to an abrupt ending.

Availability: Possibly extinct.

Editor's Note: The suspenseful music, extremely uncanny nature, the cow appearing out of nowhere at the start (which can possibly be considered a jump scare to some), the appearance of the cow itself, and the sudden ending can scare many people.

Bear How It's Made (2015)
ID: We see a blue teddy bear sitting on a shelf with some other toys as it zooms in on it. The scene then cuts to a first person view of a man shooting a blue bear, with blood coming from it when it's shot. It then cuts to the teddy bear's face, which cuts to other scenes (A knife cutting through the dead bear, A man stuffing red cotton inside the bear, which is now stitched, The same man sewing the bear, and a man ripping the fur off from a body-less bear head, which reveals its skull). It then cuts back to the teddy bear, as "[AS]" in white pops in.

We then cut to a black background with the words [adult swim] in pink.

Nitty Gritty (2015-)
ID: We see an elderly woman in a rocking chair knitting. The camera cuts to a side view, and to her sewing needles, which are knitting material with red fluid dripping off of it. The camera then cuts to the floor where we see the remains of the elder's legs, then the camera zooms out where we see the skeletons and corpses of several other animals. Finally, it cuts to a blood red screen with the words [adult swim] in green.

Fight Room (2015)


ID: The text [adult swim] is shown in white over a scene of two contestants preparing to fight each other in what looks like a cage with lights shining into it. The one on the left is wearing a blue helmet and shorts, while the one on the right is wearing red; both are shirtless. 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.

FX/SFX: Clay animation by Lee Hardcastle.

Music/Sounds: A male announcer saying "Adult Swim proudly sponsors Fight Room! Chainsaw Match Special!" as a trip gong goes off, followed by the sounds of chainsaws, the contestants gasping and groaning, and splattering noises when the red contestant is killed. The trip gong goes off again, and the announcer says "Blue wins! Sponsored by Adult Swim," as cheering and victorious music plays.

We then suddenly zoom on the giant while we see a creature with the same skin and face as the "turkey" from "Clarke" breaking into the house. The giant then screeches. During all of this, the "[AS]" logo is seen in the top-right corner.

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: A weird theme with the sounds of the giant and house breaking.

Availability: Extinct, was seen on their Vine page, but is unknown if it ever aired on TV.

Editor's Note: None.

We Know You're Home (July 10 2016-)
ID: On a black background we see 3 buttons in the middle of the screen from left to right. The left button being green and has a white phone icon on the left side of the button and next to it on right side of it the white text "ANSWER" is seen. The middle button also being green but is more longer then the ones between it, and has a rectangular outline on the left of the button resembling a window while the right side of it having the text "ANSWER WITH VIDEO" appears. Then the right button being red and the left side of the button having the same icon as the green one on the left side of the screen while also having the white text on right side of the button "DECLINE" on it. The white text below the buttons "PICK UP" appear for a second and then at the same time at the same position the white text "We Know You're Home" appears until it cuts out to the [adult swim] logo.

FX/SFX: The text appearing and the buttons transitioning in.

Gym Horse (2018?-)
ID: We see a horse and its foal in the gym, with the foal weightlifting and the horse on the treadmill. The camera cuts to a boombox near it, then the horse increases the speed of the treadmill, causing it to fall over and crush its tail, spewing out guts that read [AS].

FX/SFX: Same as Gym Bunny.

Gary Takes The Elevator (2018-)


ID: We see a red demon with blond hair, a yellow polo shirt and khakis (Gary) from behind. He is on a ledge in a hellish atmosphere, and is in front of an elevator. He presses the elevator's button before turning to face the camera as he waits, scratching his leg. The elevator opens to reveal a gray monster with tentacles and one glowing red eye as Gary jumps back against the wall in horror. The monster unfurls its tongue and devours Gary as the doors close again, this time with the words "Adult Swim" written on them in black.

FX/SFX: Clay Animation by Lee Hardcastle.

Music/Sounds: The sound of the button being pressed and Gary humming, followed by a dinging noise, roaring and screaming.

Availability: Possibly shown with airings of Your Pretty Face Is Going To H***.

Editor's Note: None.

Gary Gets A Virus (2018-)
ID: We see a close-up of a messy computer desk. On it is a file reading "From Claude", which is then picked up by Gary from the last ID. We zoom out to see more of the hellish atmosphere as Gary takes a look at the file and a floppy disc falls out. Gary picks up the disc and inserts it into the computer. The monitor begins flashing black, red and white, with a skull shape appearing on the screen before a black slimy creature emerges and devours Gary, forming the words "Adult Swim" on the wall with its tentacles.

FX/SFX: Same as Gary Takes The Elevator

Music/Sounds: Computer noises after the disc is inserted, followed by roars and shouting.

Availability: See above.

Editor's Note: None.

Claude Follows Directions (2018-)
ID: We see a red devil with glasses, a yellow polo shirt and khakis (Claude) holding a clipboard, along with a brunette woman with a purple shirt. Both are standing on a ledge. To Claude's right is a lever, and to the woman's right is a contraption with several sharp implements. Claude looks at his clipboard and pushes a lever, causing the contraption to be activated. The woman is startled, and the camera zooms in on her as she trembles in fear. It then pans over to the contraption, before panning back to the woman and Claude, who pushes her to the right. It ultimately pans down as the woman is presumably killed by the contraption, her blood splattering on the floor and forming the words "ADULT SWIM".

FX/SFX: Same as the last two.

Music/Sounds: Claude murmuring to himself ("Let's see here, hmm... Like that... There, and push... And we're done!"), the contraption buzzing and whirring, the woman gasping and screaming, and a splattering noise when she is killed.

Availability: See the last two.

Editor's Note: None.
