DinosaurGuy Network

1st Logo

(2008-2009)

Logo: We see King Dedede (from Kirby) smash a dinosaur with his famous mallet, and during this time, "DinosaurGuy Network" in its familiar font forms.

FX/SFX: King Dedede smashing the dinosaur.

Music/Sounds: A tune similar to the Double Dare theme.

Availability: Common; saved on just about every broadcast of DinosaurGuy-produced or -distributed shows.

Scare Factor: None to low; King Dedede smashing the dinosaur may catch some off-guard.

2nd logo

(2008-2010)

Logo: Same as 1st logo, except the animation is now in a cube strikingly resembling the RCA-Columbia Pictures Home Video logo of the 1980s.

FX/SFX: Same as 1st logo and RCA-Columbia Video logo.

Music: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Not as common as the later logos, but it's a bit easier to find than the first logo. It was actually a short clip from the short-lived 1987 TV series DinosaurGuy Cartoons and its 1992-present revival (available from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment under its DinosaurGuy Video label).

Scare factor: Same as the first logo.

3rd Logo

(2008-2009)

Logo: Mainly a loose parody of the MTM International logo, but also taking inspiration from the 1998 Nickelodeon Movies logo, King Dedede (from the 1st logo) tries bopping his way through the circle, but he gets his face stuck in it. As it happens, we see "DinosaurGuy Network" in its world-famous "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" font.

FX/SFX: King Dedede trying to smash the circle and getting his face stuck in it.

Cheesy Factor: The animation is an example of early-2000s anime-style CGI animation. (Considering that comical hammer-themed violence was the network's preference for its logos at the time, it was partially inspired by a few of the network's idents.)

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show, with sounds accompanying the logo.

Availability: Common; saved on just about every broadcast of DinosaurGuy-produced or -distributed shows.

Scare factor: Same as the first two logos.

4th logo

(Late 2009-present)

Logo: Against a black background, a 2D DinosaurGuy Television logo shaped like a flag fades in. Copyright information appears below.

FX/SFX: None, unless you want to count the simple fade-in and fade-out.

Variant: There is a rare variant on some DinosaurGuy releases where the byline "A Walt Disney Company" appears below "DinosaurGuy Network."

Music/Sounds: Same as 1st logo.

Availability: Current; seen on every new DinosaurGuy release since late 2009. Can also be seen on Argosy Media releases in syndication as of April 21, 2010. Luckily, it hasn't plastered over any logos yet.

Scare Factor: None to minimal; a refreshing change over the first three logos.
