YouTube Poop Pictures

1st Logo

(2006-2010)

Nicknames: "YTP in Space", "YTP Starship", "HBO Rip-Off I"

Logo: The current Universal Studios logo is seen, but Morshu sits down on "UNIVERSAL", and says "MMMMMM...". When the Universal logo's theme ends, The synth theme starts, and the camera flies over the globe, revealing the planets (but earth is the Universal globe), eventually panning up to reveal the source of power (a star), that gets brighter and brighter, and eventually explodes, leaving behind a shiny chrome model monolith. The monolith moves down and across the screen and rotates clockwise, revealing itself as the YouTube Poop logo. then it turns around one more time as the camera zooms in on the side of the lowercase "p". The side of the lowercase "p" disappears in a flash of light, revealing a stream of colored rays streaking counter-clockwise around a silver axis, and "YOUTUBE POOP PICTURES" appears, one word atop the other, in a heavy, 3D steel-gray font against an array of purple lines. some more rays sweep across the words and shine, then the background would fade to black with more flashes from the surrounding rays.

FX/SFX: All of the animation, but...

Cheesy Factor: ...It's a HBO Starship logo rip-off.

Music/Sounds: The current Universal logo theme accompanied by Morshu saying "MMMMMM...", then HBO 1982 theme.

Availability: Extinct; seen on YTP VHSs and DVDs in 2006.

Scare Factor: None to Low.

2nd Logo

(2007-2010)

Nicknames: "Non-Primetime YTP", "Neon '2000s Geometric YTP", "HBO Rip-Off II"

Logo: We see the purple YouTube Poop logo on a vertical filmstrip with light rays being shot through it. The camera pans around and zooms back from several CGI squares glowing various neon colors. Then, the lights shoot out the last square and light up a group of small circles glowing rainbow colors, then zoom out to reveal a light-purple YouTube Poop logo with "Pictures" written in script in a raspberry-like color with the rainbow circles on a black background behind it.

FX/SFX: The pan-down from the CGI squares, the lasers lighting the circle, the zoom out to the logo.

Music/Sounds: HBO Movie theme.

Availability: Common.

Scare Factor: None to medium.

3rd Logo

(2008-2010)

Nicknames: "The Road", "YTP 2000"

Logo: We see a busy street corner with a theater whose marquee reads "YTP HOME THEATER". We zoom into the theater, pass the box office and into a bright light. We end up zooming down a road in a residential neighborhood with cars driving about. The camera goes through a bridge superstructure shaped like a Y. We end up zooming down a rural highway, passing farms and such. After we hit some fog, we are on a mountain road, flying over a pit, and we head down a T shapedtunnel. We end up on a desert road surrounded with gorges and cliffs at the other end, and we zoom into a truck with a P shaped, cylindrical tank, taking us through another transition. We end up zooming through a CGI rendering of the city from the 1982 HBO opening, and into a skyscraper-filled downtown. Passing through the buildings, we see some spotlights coming from the city's harbor. The camera pans and takes us into an aerial view above the clouds, and we see the harbor spotlights outlining the YouTube Poop logo. The 3D letters in "Pictures" fly to the bottom.

FX/SFX: All the animation in CGI.

Music/Sounds: A re-orchestrated version of the 2006 fanfare.

Availability: Rare.

Scare Factor: None to low.
