Evolution Film and Tape

1st Logo

(1998-2001)

Logo: On a background that changes to show various videos of random objects, the silver-like word "EVOLUTION" emerges and stays in the middle. FX/SFX: The background changing, the word emerging. Cheesy Factor: Why is this a suitable logo for a family show? It's very fast paced and seizure-inducing! Music/Sounds: A fast breakbeat with weird-sounding screams. Availability: Extinct. Seen on Bug Juice when it was last aired on Disney Channel in Summer of 2004. Scare Factor: Low to nightmare. The weird action in the logo can be found as startling by most people. 2nd Logo

(2004-)

Logo: On a red-orange background with a wheel moving behind it, we see 2 lines, one black and one silver, to the left. A stylized hand then thrusts a mallet into the lines, and we zoom out to reveal a black bar with the text "EVOLUTION", in the same font as before, in the center. "EVOLUTION" slowly spaces out.

Variant: In the early 2010s, the logo was enhanced in CGI, with the text now in shiny silver and the background having more movement in it.

FX/SFX: The mallet being put into the wall, the zoom-out.

Music/Sounds: A clang and a deep whoosh noise.

Availability: Uncommon. The enhanced version appears onVanderpump Rules,Botched, and several series inThe Real Housewivesfranchise. The original version is preserved on the Disney Channel movie Now You See It...

Scare Factor: Low.
