Justin Roiland's Solo Vanity Card Productions!

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

This is the production company of animator and voice actor Justin Roiland, co-creator of Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites, launched on March 15, 2013. The studio also produced the short-lived shows Hot Streets and Koala Man. As of 2023, the fate of the company is in limbo due to the allegations of domestic violence, abuse, and sexual assault made against Roiland, which resulted in him being fired from Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites, and Koala Man, along with resigning from his video game studio Squanch Games.
