Spiffy Pictures

Background
Spiffy Pictures is a Chicago-based production company founded by brothers David and Adam Rudman, both of whom (specifically the former) are known for their work on Sesame Street. The company centers around producing shows for preschoolers and are known for their puppetry work.

(August 31, 2004-November 8, 2008, November 25, 2015- )
Nickname: "Spiffy!"

Logo: On a tangerine background, an oval with a cartoon animal (most likely a dog) wearing an artist's cap with "SPIFFY" (in the Witless font) at the top and "PICTURES" at the bottom, jumps to the middle of the screen. The animal zooms up, says "Spiffy!", zooms back out and winks on the right eye.

Variants:
 * On Bunnytown, the logo is shortened, starting with the animal saying "Spiffy!" The accordion also plays late in this variant.
 * In 2015, the logo was redone with new animation, a different font for the logo's text (to match the website logo), and the oval zooms in. but the audio and overall concept of the original logo were kept the same. On Nature Cat and Donkey Hodie, the animal doesn't say anything and just winks.
 * A prototype version was seen on the Curious Buddies episodes "Look and Listen at the Park", "Exploring at the Beach", and "Helping at Home" where the lighting is darker, the letters are closer, and the lines are not filled as much.
 * On broadcasts of Nature Cat on PBS Kids, there's a copyright notice at the bottom that fades in.

FX/SFX: The oval and animal moving.

Music/Sounds: A 2-note accordion jingle followed by the animal's dialogue (voiced by David Rudman) and a ding-dong sound as he winks. On Jack's Big Music Show, the closing theme is heard over the regular music.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Jack's Big Music Show had two variations:
 * On the episode "Spunky the Alien", the animal says "Swinky!"
 * On the episode "Silly Show", the animal sounds like a parrot. It sounds like he's saying "SPUNKEH?!".
 * On Nature Cat and Donkey Hodie, the ending theme is heard.

Availability: Current. It can be seen on Jack's Big Music Show, Bunnytown, Nature Cat, Frankie and Frank, Curious Buddies, and Donkey Hodie. Don't expect this to appear on Scooby-Doo Adventures: The Mystery Map, though the company was credited for the production.

Editor's Note: A nostalgic logo for fans who grew up with their work. It is also, for better or worse, a common subject of usually low-quality "logo edits" on YouTube.
