From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

MoreSidemen is the second channel created by the Sidemen, a British YouTube group. MoreSidemen is known for its compilations and gaming videos, though other types of videos have also been uploaded on the channel.

1st Logo (December 9, 2021-October 13, 2022)



Visuals: On a dark background with light rays and particles, a black circle appears via a popup effect. In the center of said circle, there is footage of KSI yawning (likely slowed down). Above him is the bold, curved text "A MORE SIDEMEN PRODUCTION", and below KSI is the large text "XIX". Additionally, there are markings on either side of the circle. Throughout, the logo slowly zooms in.

Variant: On "SIDEMEN MARIO KART: RAINBOW ROAD RAGE", KSI is replaced with Godzilla, who is seen roaring. Also, there are different particles in the background, which move erratically, and the logo appears via a noticeably different transition. Just before Godzilla roars, "IN ASSOCIATION WITH BOGZILLA PICTURES" (which sports a grey border) fades in below "XIX". The background is almost completely black too.

Technique: All seems to be basic CGI, sans the footage in the circle.

Audio: The 1995 roar track from many of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios' logos, albeit higher-pitched.

Audio Variants: The variant replaces the roars with a very noisy screech (this is actually W2S screaming from "KSI QUITS ON GTA 5").

Availability: Appears at the start of gaming videos uploaded on MoreSidemen. Its first appearance was in "SIDEMEN AMONG US IS BACK".

2nd Logo (October 4, 2022)

Note: This logo can be seen here.

Visuals: The entire logo is black and white. Against a foggy sky background, there is an array of buildings that appear to be damaged, with pillars of smoke emerging from two of them. In front of the buildings, there is a hill with flowers, a car that also looks damaged, boulders, and a sign that details when videos are uploaded on the channel. In the center is KSI, who is wearing basketball attire and sitting on a chair. He gets up from it, and as he does, an explosion occurs behind the buildings, which begins to engulf the clouds. During this, the camera pans up to reveal the fuzzy words:

A
MORE SIDEMEN
PRODUCTION

KSI looks upwards and opens his mouth, as if to roar, before the video starts.

Technique: A mixture of live-action and green screened effects.

Audio: At the start of the logo, KSI can be heard saying "Why must you let me suffer?", and there is also an explosion sound and a loud snoring sound when KSI opens his mouth. A heavy metal soundtrack plays throughout.

Availability: It was first revealed on Twitter, and its only YouTube appearance is "THE MOST KILLS SIDEMEN AMONG US HAS EVER SEEN".

Final Note

Starting with "SIDEMEN IS IT REAL OR CHOCOLATE?", videos begin without an intro.
