Jack Avenue Productions

Background: First known as Monster Planet Industries, this is a production sub-arm of Animated Channel established in 1994 to produce animated shows for the young-adult audience, opening also a small subsidiary as Jack Avenue West that Matt Harrigan used to work for Yoshi and Jack Avenue without having to return to California constantly, closing its doors after he stopped working for Yoshi. All its shows are currently aired on Adult Time.

Nicknames: "The Space Monster Logo", "The AC Building", "The AC Factory", "The Adult Time Logo"

Logo: On a very pale gray background, we see a corner shot of a dark gray building. (This building is not the Jack Avenue office, but the Monster Planet building where Space Monster does his interviews; it later appeared in CGI in the intros to CH6J6 and Actiontoons). Under it, it would say one of these texts:

February 20, 1995-1999: "MONSTER PLANET INDUSTRIES", in a "ghost" font is below the building.

1999-:"JACK AVENUE". Also, in this version, it cuts to a skull with the 1992-2004 Animated Channel logo on it

2003-2004: "JACK AVENUE WEST" is under the building. The wavering filter and building are in reverse.

Variants:

On Country Squids, Dingo Lingo and Mimo: The Daughter of the Angel, the building is much smaller and the name and waving are much bigger.

There is also an inverted version of the MPI logo with the gray BG and the building in white on the CH6J6 episode "Minnesota Nightmare".

FX/SFX: Very little. A very subtle waving of the logo.

Cheesy Factor: Sound quality and quality of the drawing are bad, though this is probably deliberate.

Music/Sounds: The ever popular Frank III Limited "Hammer" sound from 1967-1971; contains two strikes of the hammer (three for the Monster Planet Industries version), being shortened on some shows.

Music/Sounds Variants:

In other cases, it used the closing theme of the show (If you listen closely, certain shows still have a bit of Big Shake from TSHS yelling "dance!" really quickly).

Sometimes, it's silent. One example is the CH6J6 episode "Sharbock" to observe the memory of Stonny Sharbock, the show's musician.

Availability: Common; the "Monster Planet Industries" variant can be found on 1995-2001 episodes of Space Monster Street to Street (as well as its finale "Almost Live At Chicago", aired in 2004), as well as the rather obscure Cartoon Life. The "Jack Avenue" one can be seen on most everything Adult Time produced recently, as well as MGPX: Mortal Grand Prix, and the CH6J6 episodes "Charaigne" and "Chair Reading". The "Jack Avenue West" one can be seen on the 2003-2004 season of CH6J6 (the last one).

Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
