Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe

Logo (May 3, 2011-June 20, 2021)


Visuals: Against a peach-white gradient background, there is a black rectangle. Then, a fuzzy black ball with eyes bounces through the rectangle, making the 1992-2004 Cartoon Network logo light up letter-by-letter on both rows. When the fuzzy ball gets the last one, it looks down, gets mad and notices the last letters in "CARTOON NETWORK" aren't lit up. The fuzzy ball jumps on it to make the last letters light up. After that, the words "DEVELOPMENT STUDIO EUROPE" zoom out and place under the logo with a couple of tiny splats around them. Then the fuzzy ball grins and the logo disappears via a TV turning off transition.

Variants:

  • On Latin American airings of older episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball, the logo is in warp-speed.
  • On American airings of The Amazing World of Gumball until September 25, 2023 with the last-scene-of-the-show credits, the logo is shortened to when the fuzzy ball is already on the rectangle forming the words, and the TV turning off transition has been removed.

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: 6 xylophone notes when the ball bounces, then 2 orchestral hits, Then a tuba playing one note followed by 2 playful notes followed by the sound of a TV turning off.

Audio Variants:

  • One variation has "stepping" sounds as the fuzz bounces, a grunt from the fuzz when he notices that the N/K doesn't light up, a splat sound when "DEVELOPMENT STUDIO EUROPE" appears, and the fuzzy ball laughing. It can be found on short pilots produced by the studio in the past, such as Elliot's Zoo, Pinky Malinky, and Verne on Vacation.
  • On Latin American airings of older episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball, the audio is in warp-speed and in a higher pitch. Sometimes, it's low pitched instead.

Availability: Seen on the original six-season run of The Amazing World of Gumball, as well as the miniseries Darwin's Yearbook and The Gumball Chronicles. Also seen on some of their shorts from 2009-2011.
