Logo (February 16, 2003-December 19, 2004)
Visuals: On an apricot colored background with light green, orange and gold yellow stripes with varying width, a drawing of a crushed light yellow can, with a brown outline and the lid open, is seen, along with a spoon (in the same colors as a can) in front of it. The can reads "NOODLE SOUP" on it, and "PRODUCTIONS INC." is below the spoon. Suddenly, the dot of "INC" moves to the bottom-right corner of the screen, and transforms into a green circle with a dark red outline (intended to be a plate), with a red-haired kid named Timmy with an overbite inside, holding a spoon; below him is a bowl of soup. After Timmy says his line, the circle shrinks back into the dot of "INC."
Technique: Flash animation.
Audio: A slide whistle sound and Timmy saying "That's gooooood soup!".
Audio Variant: On the pilot for The Venture Bros., "The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay", Timmy has a different, lower voice.
Availability: Appears on the first season of The Venture Bros.
