Background

This is filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and producer Elizabeth Avellán's production company. It was first formed as Los Hooligans Productions before changing its name to Troublemaker Studios in 2000 and it was finally renamed as Double R Productions after Elizabeth Avellán left the company in 2019.

Troublemaker Studios

1st Logo (Spy Kids variant) (March 30, 2001)


Logo: We suddenly zoom to the left on a black background. We see a boy named Pepino wearing a red shirt with a black dot and a red and blue cap. He plays the Spy Kids theme on his acoustic guitar while he sits down on the letter "U". We then zoom out to reveal the company's logo, which is seen in the middle of the screen. The logo shines.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Seen only on Spy Kids.

2nd Logo (Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams variant) (August 7, 2002, 2003)


Logo: Pepino suddenly zooms toward the viewer and rides down the "T" and the goes to the "U" with the letters representing a rollercoaster. The camera zooms out to reveal the text from before as it shines. Then, the word "STUDIOS" disappears as Pepino leaves the logo. The text comes lower and it becomes a text on a gate, wich segues to the opening scene of the film

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Just kids screaming.

Availability: Seen only on Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams. The very end of it can also be seen very briefly on the trailer for Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.

3rd Logo (July 25, 2003-June 10, 2005)


Logo: We zoom down to Pepino sitting in a blue chair in a black/blue systemized room. He then puts on some 3D glasses (in some cases, sunglasses) and pushes the button on the chair, angering it as he gives a thumbs up gesture. He starts riding and flying, revealing the text in the same font as the previous logos. Pepino crashes through the company name seconds later.

Variants: On The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D, Pepino wears Sharkboy 3D glasses while the chair turns into a shark and the background is a metal wall.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie accompained by mechanical and woosh sounds.

Availability: Seen on Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

4th Logo (September 12, 2003-mid-2010s?)


Logo: On a black background, we see a huge explosion. The company's name zooms out to face us, which is superimposed over the explosion. At the end, the logo burns up.

Variants:

  • Starting in 2010, the logo was given an enhanced and high-definition look. Later in the logo's run, "STUDIOS" was changed to a black color, with Machete having it during the prologue.
  • On Machete Kills, the logo reads "QUICK DRAW PRODUCTIONS".

Technique: 2D CGI.

Music/Sounds: Just the sound effect of an explosion.

Availability:

  • The original version debuted on Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
  • It can also be seen on Sin City, the two Grindhouse movies Planet Terror and Death Proof, and at the end of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl and Shorts.
  • The enhanced version debuted on Predators.

5th Logo (Shorts variant) (August 21, 2009)


Logo: Over a black background, we see Pepino using a black box. This morphs into rocket wings in his back, making him a rocket boy. After a few moments, the camera zooms away, revealing the company logo. He flies towards the logo, which shines like the first two logos.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Only seen on Shorts.

6th Logo (Spy Kids: All the Time in the World game variant) (August 9, 2011)

Logo: On a black background, we see the company logo (which is a bit lighted in the center) with Pepino's head above.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen only on Spy Kids: All the Time in the World for Nintendo DS.

7th Logo (Spy Kids: All the Time in the World movie variant) (August 19, 2011)


Logo: We zoom towards the "D" on a black background as Pepino holds a clock. He gets rid of a lot of junk and gets a drill, making it a time machine. It time machine then expands to cover him up as the hands move closer and start spinning. It then goes back into his hands as they becomes a propeller, while the camera zooms away, revealing the company's logo (now more simple, with the gradients removed and the word "STUDIOS" in a different font). Pepino then flies around and off the screen. Unlike the previous logos, the logo in this one doesn't shine.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The sounds corresponding to the animation.

Availability: Seen only on Spy Kids: All the Time in the World.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Metallic sounds heard when the object rotates.

Availability: Debuted on the Netflix original film We Can Be Heroes, and later appeared on Hypnotic. However, the previous logo is still credited in the latter's credits.
