Background

Zagtoon (also known as ZAG Toons) is a French animation studio, the TV division of ZAG Entertainment. Created by Jeremy Zag, the brand specializes in comedy/slice-of-life shows. Since inception, Zagtoon has produced almost 100 hours of CGI-animated content licensed to major broadcasters and digital partners in over 130 territories.

Logo (September 30, 2012-)

Visuals: On a light blue/white gradient background, there are blue letters bouncing about (a la the 2011-2018 Sony Pictures Animation logo), forming the word "TOON". As this happens, a black ZAG logo falls from above and lands on top of "TOON".

Variant: An in-credit version of this logo exists, and shares the screen with other respective company logos.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: A 1930's-style piano tune accompanied by "boing" sounds as the letters bounce, which ends with the last note and a "thud" when the ZAG logo lands.

Availability: Seen on shows like Sammy & Company. The in-credit version also exists on shows, debuting on Kobushi and later appearing on Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, Power Players, Zak Storm and Ghostforce under the Zagtoon label. Also seen on all the Miraculous World specials during the era.
