Kickstart Productions

Background
Kickstart Productions is a production company with offices in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Arkansas, Hong Kong and Suzhou.

1st Logo (2006-2007)
Logo: On a navy blue gradient background, we see two halves of a circle, one dark blue and the other light blue, quickly connecting to make three outlined letters inside, "ksp". The letters are diagonally arranged and are cut out of the circle, with the top of the "s" horizontally cutting through it. The words "kickstart productions, inc." in a futuristic font appear one-by-one from the circle. "kick" is above "start" with the second "k" connected to the top corner of the "s" in "start" and is light blue. "start" is dark blue and "productions, inc." is below the words in a smaller font and is the same color as "start". Light rays appear from behind the entire logo and pan from right to left.

Variant: On The Amazing Screw-On Head, the animation looks more refined and the logo is already formed.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None or the closing theme.

Availability: Seen on Finley the Fire Engine and The Amazing Screw-On Head.

2nd Logo (April 13, 2007-October 26, 2008)


Logo: On a black background, we see a chrome line which turns to the screen to reveal itself as a chrome version of the text from the first logo. The first "k" in "kick" kicks the "i"'s dot. The dot lands on the logo, causing it to explode with a hoop. The full logo, in chrome, appears (including the "ksp" circle) and the logo shines a bit.

Variant: On Happy Monster Band, only the first part of the logo is shown. The animation is much slower and the dot freezes in mid-air just when it's over the "s".

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The closing theme.

Availability: Seen on Happy Monster Band. The full version was only seen on Painkiller Jane.
