Logo (October 17, 2020-)


Visuals: Footage of a POV view of someone sliding down a metal slide at a playground is shown, tinted in B&W and a grainy film effect applied over it. As the person slides down all the way, revealing their shoes, the logo briefly appears in cream yellow at the top center of the screen, before it warps in an "RGB displacement" effect and rapidly jumps around the screen. The logo consists of a drawing of an rocket slide, with the slide facing the center with swish marks on the bottom of the slide. The logo is surrounded by a thick ring with 2 triangular points on the left and right sides of it, with the text "ROCKET SLIDE" encircling the inner section of the ring, and a arched banner with "FILMS" in a brush stroke font and 2 5-pointed stars adorned on each end of it sits at the bottom of the rocket. The footage then cuts to the logo, now in a slightly dirty white look to it, in the center of the screen, as washed-out footage of an actual rocket slide at a playground at sunset plays, zooming out while jumping a few frames after half a second.

Variants: An in-credit version of the logo exists.

Technique: Live-action with computer effects.

Audio: A harsh "thud" noise plays before it continues into a shrill metallic scrapping noise that stutters at the end.

Availability: Seen on Holy Calamavote, Adult Swim Festival Presents, and the April Fools versions of the Smiling Friends episodes "
