DreamWorks Animation Television/Logo Variations

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by DreamWorks Animation Television, with more to be added overtime.

The Adventures of Puss in Boots (2015): Puss sits in the moon instead of the boy. He catches a fish which he tosses directly into his mouth, eating the fish.


Madagascar

  • All Hail King Julien (2014): On a nighttime jungle background, Julien sits in a straw moon and pulls up his line, revealing Mort hanging onto the end. He then catches a shark, and Mort yells "I'm okay!" as Julien laughs.


  • Madagascar: A Little Wild (2020): The logo is a snapshot of a young Marty, Alex, Gloria and Melman posing in front of a background similar to the DreamWorks Pictures logo.


Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends

  • The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show (2015): The WABAC flies over a bluish-nighttime background and drops Sherman off on the moon. He grabs a fishing rod and pulls up the text, with Peabody standing on the "O" of "DreamWorks". The "DreamWorks" text, which is black with white outlines, then glows.


  • The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2018): Bullwinkle does his magic trick and pulls out Rocky, who flies to the crescent, sits on it and pulls out a fishing rod. As he does so, the text, looking similar to the Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show variant, fades in.

Home: Adventures with Tip and Oh (2016): Oh is in the moon in place of the boy, he fishes up the controller for his saucer, and activates it, flying off into the opening. The text is also in a different font.

  • On the Christmas special entitled "DreamWorks Home: For the Holidays", Oh is wearing a Santa hat. Meanwhile, Tip drives Slushious and throws a snowball to Oh, but Oh is laughing for his delight.

The Croods

  • Dawn of the Croods (2015): The entire family piles onto the moon as it rocks them to sleep.


  • The Croods: Family Tree (2021): The logo has Eep and Dawn fishing on the moon. They pull up a bear-fish hybrid, so Eep breaks off a chunk of the moon to beat it off.


DreamWorks Dragons

  • Dragons: Riders of Berk: It is the same as the 2nd DreamWorks Animation logo, except Hiccup and Toothless replace the boy on the moon, with the former reading a book and the latter having a fishing line tied to his tail. Toothless then fires on the camera, with Match Cuts in the opening, depicting Hiccup and Toothless flying out of the moon.
  • Dragons: Rescue Riders: Dak falls off the crescent, dangling onto the "M" as Winger catches him and puts him back on the crescent.

Tales of Arcadia: The DreamWorks logo is based around a specific artifact/gadget of importance in the story.

  • Trollhunters (2016): The Amulet of Merlin opens into the crescent moon, Jim steps out of the crescent and holds his sword high. The text then fades in, with "Animation Television" in a different font.
  • 3Below (2018): The logo is formed from an Akiridion interface. Luug then appears inside of it and barks.
  • Wizards (2020): On a space background, the Heart of Avalon device forms the crescent moon, and Archie flies into it and perches on it. He turns to us and says "Meow!". The text then fades in, and unlike the previous two variants, it is colored green and is in a different font.

    • In the Season 6 episode "Haircuffed": During Branch and Creek's duet, one segment involves Branch sitting on the DreamWorks moon, before pulling Creek up.
  • Trolls: TrollsTopia (2020): The DreamWorks logo takes on a scrapbook appearance, in which the ambassadors of each Troll tribe take a step putting it together, with Poppy making the last touch by giving Troll hair to the fishing boy. Also, the font is the same as the first film's variation.



The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants (2018): George and Harold are drawing a picture, which zooms in, depicting Captain Underpants standing on the crescent to which he jumps, causing his cape to get struck on the crescent.

The Boss Baby

  • The Boss Baby: Back in Business (2018): There is the print logo, minus the text, in blue on a white background.

    • In the Season 1 episode "Enter the Dragon Master": Po colors a piece of paper into black ink. He later draws the logo.

After that, the logo zooms into the opening shot.


  • Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight (2022): The moon appears reflected in a barrel of fish, then a hook falls into it. The camera pans up to reveal Po in the moon fishing in the barrel. He catches a fish (albeit akwardly) and throws it into his mouth, then says "Skadoosh!".

It then zooms to reveal an Amblin Entertainment-shaped archipelago on the other side of the globe. The logo is bylineless.


Go, Dog. Go! (2021): There is Scooch Pooch sitting on a darkened moon surrounded by clouds with the text (without "ANIMATION TELEVISION") below while reading a book. A yellow zeppelin then appears with Tag Barker hanging from a ladder attached to it. She then pulls a cord attached the tip of the moon, causing it to light up, as well as the text. As the zeppelin flies away, she waves at Scooch, who waves back, before continuing to read his book.

Curses! (2023): The logo is placed against a starry, very dark blue night sky, the clouds are replaced by gnarly tree branches framed in silhouette, the "DREAMWORKS" text is colored in blood red and partially wrapped around some of the branches, and the Moon Child (as well as the moon itself) are completely black except for the lower corner of the moon, which is illuminated with red and green hues and the Child's bright white eyes, which are staring frighteningly at the camera.
