Background

Sitting Ducks Productions is the production company of poster artist Michael Bedard, the creator of Sitting Ducks, which was based on the 1977 lithograph and the 1998 children's book of the same name, respectively.

Logo (September 13, 2001-July 5, 2003)

Visuals: On a light gray gradient backdrop is Bill from Sitting Ducks on the left leaning against a large yellow rectangle with a thin orange border, a thick white border, and a thicker blue border that says "SITTING DUCKS" and "P R O D U C T I O N S" in smaller letters below both in an Industria font in the latter border's color. Bill waves at us before returning to his normal position.

Variant: A still variant is seen on The Santa Claus Brothers.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A male doo-wop chorus singing "Badomm!", followed by a honk, and a quack sound. On The Santa Claus Brothers, the closing theme is played.

Availability: Seen on Sitting Ducks and the TV movie The Santa Claus Brothers. VHS, DVD, and streaming prints, as well as Qubo airings of the former show, have kept this logo intact.
