DKP Studios

Background
Dan Krech Pictures was renamed to DKP Effects in 2002. It was acquired by IDT Entertainment in 2004 and renamed to DKP Studios, also known as IDT Entertainment Animation Canada.

(July 9, 2002-May 18, 2004)
Logo: On a gradient background with three  lights, we see the bluish white letters "D", "K", and "P" zooming in letter-by-letter as the bright blue DKP symbol (a hoop with two streaks making an infinity loop) spins around. Then the bluish white spaced out word "EFFECTS" appears under the letters and shines.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, there is no text at all.
 * An opening variant exists where the text "A DKP EFFECTS PRODUCTION" is seen in the bright blue aurora background. This variant appears at the beginning of Dan Krech's movies from the time.
 * Sometimes, the website address (www.dkp.com) is seen below the logo.
 * A longer version also exists. We start off with a bluish white screen fading in, which quickly fades to the logo, with a translucent light of the name flashing.
 * A medium-length variant also exists where we start off with the name's light flashing as we fade to the logo.
 * Sometimes, the background is just plain black, with the main logo being light blue and the DKP symbol being dark blue.
 * On most of the animated TV shows and movies, the logo is in-credit.

Technique: CGI using Alias Wavefront Maya.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening/closing theme.

Availability: Seen on the VeggieTales video "A Snoodle's Tale". Also seen on the Super Happy Planet TV movie, Le Nouvelle Monde de Piwi, and the first season of Les Nouvelles Aventures de Piwi.

(January 6, 2004-March 11, 2006)
Logo: On a black background, the camera rotates around to reveal a pair of motors turning a treadmill around, shaped like a infinity symbol. 2 translucent mice are also seen running along the tops of the treadmill. After the camera stops rotating, the motors start to fade out as the track begins to glow a bright white, flashing to reveal the grungy text "dKp", with the "K" formed in-between the other 2 letters as negative space. Below is the grungy text "TUDIOS", and then a mouse brings in an "S" from off-screen to the left, and then pushes it into the text, forming "STUDIOS" and spreading the letters out before the mouse runs off. A byline for IDT Entertainment then appears below in dark blue.

Variants:
 * On most of their shows, the logo is in-credit.
 * A short version has the logo start with the treadmill becoming the logo. The IDT byline also appears in sync with the final squeak as well.

Technique: CGI using Alias Wavefront Maya.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of an exercise wheel squeaking as the mice are running, followed by a synthesized whoosh, one mouse squeaks and a clacking sound for when the letters in "STUDIOS" are knocked together. A final squeak from the mice is heard.

Music/Sounds Variant: On most VeggieTales episodes produced by them, they use the theme of the end credits. Availability: Seen on several VeggieTales episodes from late 2004 to early 2006, such as "Sumo of the Opera", "Duke and the Great Pie War", "Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbrush", "Lord of the Beans", and "Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler". Also seen on Game Over, the Nerf N-Strike interactive DVD and the second season of Les Nouvelles Aventures de Piwi.
