Fairy Films (Japan)

1st Logo

(1984-1998)

Nicknames: "The Reason Why Kazumi's Lucky Show has This logo", "F from the Underworld", "F from H*ll", "Creepy F", "Scary F"

Logo: On a black background, a giant, bright blue F suddenly appeared, dashes onto the cherry red "airy" and "Films" and slams into them, causing all of them to turn rainbow colors. Then the yellow text "A Kazumi Tsukino Production" in Japanese appeared under them. A second later, the blue F zooms in a V of Doom-style, and the whole logo shakes!

Variant: Staring from the fourth season of Kazumi's Lucky Show onward, the F was green instead of blue and the animation was quite different. Instead of the F slamming into the "airy" and "Films", the "Fairy" text was already formed, but "Films" slams into it to turn rainbow colors.

Music/Sound: A long "Whoom" note in synthesizer when an F appeared, the very loud explosion when an "F" slams into "airy" and "Films", and then the 80's disco beat that sounds similar to "Hey Guy" by Ken Laszlo, but 5% sped up with the pitch increased.

Cheesy Factor: The font style for the giant F resembles the the fancy-cut style for the V in the Viacom logo. Also, the way the F zooms in was also similar to the Viacom "V of Doom".

Availability: Rare. It first appeared on the Kiko's Sushi Shop episode "Meeting Tenshi", but appeared up in Chibis, The Bonsby Show, Kazumi's Lucky Show and the Japanese-only Chinchilla No Bōken as well. Also shows up on the first and second seasons of The Ryo the Cat Show and Scats!, but on recent reruns on 1988 onward, this logo was replaced with the second logo below.

Scare Factor: Medium to NIGHTMARE! The way the F zooms in reminds you of the V of Doom, and the loud explosion along with the logo shaking and music will throw some people off. Also, the F looks like a fancy-cut font used on the V of the "V of Doom" Viacom logo.

2nd Logo

(1988-present)

Nicknames: "Hey, it's Yoshi!", "Yoshi", "Hello There!"

Logo: We see a footage of Yoshi waving his hands from the The Adventures of Yoshi's Island episode "Inflation Curiosity". Next to him were the pink texts "Fairy Films" in the Brush Script along with some blue Japanese text that reads "A Kazumi Tsukino Production".

Variants:

On a few shows, the "Fairy Films" text was bright gold.

Some shows uses the Japanese byline that reads "In Association With..." in the black Arial font.

On Snap's World, Snap replaces Yoshi.

This logo also made an appearance at the end of the My Little Pony: Magical Adventures' episode "My Little Yoshi's Island" (crossing over with The Adventures of Yoshi's Island), with Yoshi singing the My Little Pony theme song.

Music/Sound: None, or the closing theme of the show. Some shows uses music that was borrowed from the Pokémon (Original Series version) title card, but sped up withe the pitch increase, similar to the first logo. Starting on Labor Day 1999, the music was "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit" by Gina G.

Availability: Commonly appeared in Kazumi's Lucky Show as well as The Bonsby Show. Starting on 1988 onward, this logo appeared in The Ryo the Cat Show and Scats! in recent reruns, replacing the first logo. Also shows up in The Marikas as well as the second season of Snap's World.

Scare Factor: None to low for the original and medium with the Pokémon title card music. The Pokémon title card music may surprise everyone who didn't expect the first logo. However, this was much tamer than the first logo. None for the 1999 variant.
