Nippers

Background

Nippers was an imprint of the Contender Entertainment Group that released products aimed at a pre-school audience. The imprint was discontinued in 2004.

1st Logo (1999-2001)

Logo: On a white background, a cream piece of lined paper pans to the middle of the screen. A pencil writes the word Nippers in red, with 2 lines between the "ip" and "er". After it writes, the pencil faces the the 2 "P's" and the writing part of the pencil side sparkles and freezes. A black registered trademark symbol appears on top of the "s".

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A dreamy-sounding tune.

Availability: Appears on various pre-school releases from Contender, like CITV Favourites for Under 5's.

2nd Logo (2001-2004)

Logo: On a white background with a red box underneath, 2 N's, 1 large capital N in purple, and 1 little n in blue with arms, both having eyes appear from the left and right respectively. The little "n" does a flip and a jump, which causes the larger "N" to gain a smile. The red cursive text "Nippers" appears on the top, circling them. Afterwards, the text and red box move with the text becoming white and gaining a registered trademark symbol on it alongside the N's zooming in a bit. Afterwards, the website link www.nippernet.com appears through an effect by appearing through the right.

Variant: On the Nippernet website, the animation is animated differently in Adobe Flash and "Nippernet" replaces "Nippers".

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A bouncy tune and a weird cheer of sorts from the little "n".

Availability: This also appears on pre-school releases from Contender, with their logo following before this one.^[Examples?]

On later releases, this would appear on the VHS label, but not on the feature itself.
DVD releases do not feature this logo at all, despite once again, appearing on the packaging.
