Nicknames: "The Red Squares", "The Spinning NT"

Logo: On a black background, we see the word "NT" appear from paint drops. Some red square outlines then appear, forming the spaced out "ANIMATION" all in lowercase letters. The logo then spins twice, and a white line wipes through, revealing the trademark symbol.

FX/SFX: The red squares and the spinning.

Music/Sounds: Three different music themes. A cheerful theme is heard when the "NT" text appears, a disco theme when "ANIMATION" appears, and a hip-hop theme when the logo spins twice.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The theme for this logo is based on the theme for Feet Beat on Disney Channel from 1997 to 2002.

Availability: Common. Was seen on all of NT Animation's films. The logo was first used on Rabbit's Night Out and made its final theatrical appearance on K9.5.
