Shout! Kids

Background

Shout! Factory Kids is the children's division of Shout! Factory. With the announcement of the parent company's full rebrand to the Shout! Studios name in July of 2023, the division in turn was renamed to Shout! Kids.

Shout! Factory Kids

Logo (Late 2014-2023?)

Visuals: On a red aura background, several vertical multicolored blocks come skittering, spinning, and flying into the screen. Each block has a letter on it. Once the blocks put themselves together, the top row reveals itself to be the "SHOUT!" logo in the colors red, blue, yellow, and green, with "KIDS" below it. As the logo forms the background gradually becomes white. "---FACTORY---" unfolds itself between "SHOUT!" and "KIDS", and a cerulean trademark symbol appears next to "!".

Variant: A sped-up version exists.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth string chord played on Sytrus (a software synthesizer included in FL Studio) with the Nebula preset, and a 6-note crystallized chime theme.

Availability: While this logo debuted as a print logo in early 2012, it did not get its own animated logo until near the end of 2014. So far, it can be found on every Shout! Factory Kids release from late 2014 to 2023, and Shout! Factory prints of My Little Pony: The Movie (1986) and Jasper. This also appears on the trailer for Thomas and the Magic Railroad: 20th Anniversary Edition, but the release itself uses the main Shout! Factory logo from the time. Don't expect this to appear at the beginning of Sesame Workshop's DVDs released by this company, as they use a different warning screen and go straight to the previews.

Shout! Kids

1st Logo (October 3, 2023-)

Visuals: On a black background, there is "SHOUT! KIDS" in multicolored rectangles similar to the prior logo, albeit with the "K" now yellow instead of blue, and it's now horizontal instead of the text being stacked. There is a "TM" symbol in blue to the bottom right.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The music in the trailer.

Availability: It debuted on the trailer for The Canterville Ghost.

2nd Logo (July 9, 2024-)

Visuals: On a white background, "SHOUT KIDS", in the same style as before, is shown with the exclamation mark placed on the upper right. From the left, right, and bottom center of the screen, gold, lime green, and blue paint splashes into the logo, with the latter color covering the screen for a brief moment before falling downwards to display the logo in its colored state in the same way as before.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A joyous and rhythmic, clap and keyboard driven children's instrumental fanfare.

Availability: The logo is seen on home media and digital releases of Dragonkeeper.
