Thirtyspot Inc.

Background: This is the vanity card of Andy Heyward, one of the founders of DiC Entertainment, creator of Super Mario Galaxy (November 17, 2008-present), Another Secret Squirrel Series (September 5, 2009-present) and Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary Special (November 29, 2010).

(2008-)

Thirtyspot Inc. (2008-)

Nicknames: "Thirtyspot Spring", "Samuel Spring", "Pixar Spoof", "That Pixar Parody Logo I saw at the end of Super Mario Galaxy/Another Secret Squirrel Series", "First Time with Powerpoint"

Logo: On a blue/white gradient background, we see the text:

THIRTYSPOT

inc.

in the Broadway font. Then a spring with white glasses hops by. He stops once he notices the "I". He shakes his body and bounces on the "I" until it squishes it. The spring looks around as the byline "A Squirrel/Mole Studios Company" fades in ("Squirrel/Mole Studios" in it's corporate font and the rest also in the Broadway font). He then faces the camera. Then it cuts to the 2004-present Squirrel/Mole Studios logo.

Trivia: The spring, named Samuel Spring, is another one of Heyward's characters and several not used on a TV series.

FX/SFX: CGI animation...

Cheesy Factor: ...that looks like someone used Powerpoint to try to recreate the Pixar logo.

Music/Sounds: In order: the metallic sound of the spring hopping, a "jingle" when the spring shakes it's body, squeaky rubber-like sounds when it jumps on the I and some other sounds as it looks around. Sometimes the show's ending theme or the generic network theme will play instead.

Availability: Seen on all 2008-present shows created by Andy Heyward, such as Super Mario Galaxy and Another Secret Squirrel Series on Qubo and The Hub. Also intact on DVD sets of these shows. This logo made it's first appearance after the end credits of the pilot episode of Super Mario Galaxy entitled The Galaxy's on TV.

Scare Factor: None.
