1st Logo

(2000-)

Nicknames: "That Robot Isn't Friendly!", "Robot Of Doom", "Robot from Heck", "The Robot of Death", "Scary Robot", "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!", "The NEW Personification Of All That Is Evil", "Don't Look At This!", "Creepy Robot", "My Worst Nightmare", "A Nightmare On Charity Street", "SSR (Super Scary Robot)"

Logo: On a dark blue background, we see the moving robotic endoskeleton whose movements and behavior were erratic. The camera suddenly shakes and a bright light flashes to a logo, which also shakes.Suddenly, the moving robotic endoskeleton goes black.

Variants:

There is a short version where the logo starts right after the camera shakes.

On Mario's Tour, we see the print version of the logo.

On Pokémon: XY, the robot is replaced by a creepy man dancing (his dance moves vary from episode to episode). There's no camera shake in on this variant.

In Fire Emblem, Marth suddenly appears out of nowhere and destroys the whole logo.

On the pilot episode of Superstar Saga, we see the short version of the logo. However, the camera doesn't shake and the robot isn't seen either.

FX/SFX: EVERYTHING!

Cheesy Factor: CHEESE ME! The robotic endoskeleton in the logo is the one of those endoskeletons that appeared in the horror game called Five Nights at Freddy's.

Music/Sounds: A low, moogish tune, followed by a very loud robotic whirring sound.

Music/Sounds Variants:

The short version only features the music.

Not Another Crazy Cat!, Superstar Saga and a few episodes of Mario's Tour feature the closing theme of the show.

On the Pokémon: XY variant, the whirring sound is replaced by weird "boom-boom" drum music along with dancing sounds.

On the Fire Emblem variant, demolishing sounds are heard. There's no music and whirring sound.

Availability: Common. You can easily find it on the shows based on video games, like Mario's Tour.

Trivia: This logo appeared after the end credits of the Kirby: The Starlight Adventures episode "A Truth About Galaxia" by an accident by the time it first aired. Repeated airings of that episode replaces this logo with IHI Productions for the rest of the future airings.

Scare Factor:

Medium to NIGHTMARE. The face of robotic endoskeleton along with the whirring and shaking will scare a quite a few.

Low for the print variant, since the logo is still creepy-looking, but the music and animation are skipped (because it is a print logo).

Nightmare with the closing theme, the animation is still creepy.

Low to Nightmare for the Pokémon: XY variant, the man dancing along with the drums is creepy, but it is less scary than the original.

Low bordering on medium for the Fire Emblem variant, because it makes you to not see the logo anymore. Also, Marth fans may like this.

Medium for the Superstar Saga pilot variant, because the closing theme and lack of the robot and shaking in makes it less creepy.

However, it's medium if you're not scared of this logo and it's variants.
