Calico Entertainment

Background

Calico Entertainment was a subsidiary of World Events Productions.

1st Logo (September 12, 1988-1989)

Logo: Against a stony surface, we see the purple word "CALICO" under a spotlight, casting shadow. Above it the disclaimer reads in handwritten font: "Animation Designed and Produced by".

Variant: TBA.

FX/SFX: Small spots moving on the name.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Rare. Preserved on the shows Denver, the Last Dinosaur and Vytor: The Starfire Champion.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 29, 1990-April 6, 1997)

Nickname: "The C"

Logo: On a dark green marble-esque surface, we see a curve thickening to form a "C" while we zoom out, revealing that the surface is actually a square being split in half, forming the Calico logo (a concave rectangle and a curved semi-circle-like figure) on a cream background. While this happens, the dark gray text "CALICO" (in a condensed font) can be seen below the Calico logo. As we finish zooming, the word "ENTERTAINMENT" fades below "CALICO". During the zooming out, the shadows casted by the logo and the words is seen moving from the left-top to the right-bottom.

Variants:

On the failed Bubsy pilot, a copyright notice appears below.
A still version exists. However, the logo is dark blue and on a pink background. This can be seen on the TV movie Bad Baby.

FX/SFX: The green figures spreading, the camera zooming, and the shadows moving.

Music/Sounds: The end theme from the show or movie. The Bubsy pilot episode had a 5-note sounder.

Availability: Scarce. Still preserved on shows like Mr. Bogus and Widget. Also seen on the failed animated pilot for Bubsy and the TV movie Bad Baby.

Editor's Note: None.
