5th Year Productions

Background

5th Year was a webseries created by troupe Mail Order Comedy, later adapted for TV as Workaholics. Most likely, 5th Year Productions was a subset of Mail Order Company to deal with keeping the license and creative rights of the actual 5th Year franchise. They were presumably folded back into Mail Order Comedy in 2014.

1st Logo (November 6-8, 2008)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a black ribbon emblem with the words "5th Year .com" on it and a red star on the top right corner. Then the word "PRESENTS" slides down on the bottom.

Closing Variant: "PRESENTS" is replaced with the URL "5thyear.com".

Technique: Sliding effects.

Audio:

• Opening: A sword shining sound.
• Closing: A guitar tune.

Audio Variants:

• On episode 2 of 5th Year, "Must Be the Money" by Nelly plays over the closing variant.
• On the opening of episode 5 of 5th Year, the opening theme plays with it, and on the ending it is silent.

Availability: Seen on all five episodes of the webseries 5th Year.

2nd Logo (April 6, 2011-April 16, 2014)

Visuals: A pug in a birthday hat is seen inside a room which was apparently thrashed from a party. Balloons litter the screen and in the background are a bottle of champagne and some red Solo cups. The pug snorts and moves his head around, then stops, looking upwards. The 5th Year emblem from the previous logo appears on the top left corner of the screen.

Technique: All intentionally choppy stop-motion.

Audio: The pug snorting and a party horn noise during the shot where the banner appears.

Availability: Can be seen on seasons 1-4 episodes of Workaholics.
