Lost Power Studios

Background: Lost Power Studios is the company that formed in 1992 by Tommy Densel, who also founded Hotshot Productions. It does not use the logo until 1994.

1st Logo

(1994-)

Nickname: "Creepy Yellow Square", "Inside the Square Person", "The Reason Why Most Shows and Movies Had That Logo", "The Evil Square Person from the Underworld", "The Personification Is All Evil", "This Gives Me Nightmares!", "100% Pure Heart and Tiny Brain"

Logo: On the pink background, we see a close up of the yellow square with eyes, a heart labeled "100%" in Rosewood font and the motor below them and a tiny piece of pink thing that appears to be its brain. The camera pans down slowly as the motor started running within a gears, making the square person shakes. The ""Lost Power" text in the red Impact font suddenly appeared in the center and the "Studios" text in the blue Arial front zooms fast below it.

Variants: On the Christmas-themed movies, shows and specials, there is a puppet of Santa Claus, which also has the same eyes as the square has. His eyes moved as the text "Christmas Version" appears below the "Lost Power Studios" logo.

FX/SFX: The camera panning down while the gears in the motor runs and the "Studios" text zooming in.

Trivia: Both of the normal and a Christmas variant of this logo without a text were re-used in the second SpongeBob SquarePants Christmas special, "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!". The Christmas version of this logo also made a surprise appearance on that said special.

Music/Sounds: The stock music "Moog Statement 14" by Andy Clarke, which was used in Crown Movie Classics and Media West Inc. logos. The Christmas version adds a sleigh bell jingling in the background.

Availability: Can be seen on many home media releases distributed by the company. Surprisingly, the logo appeared at the end of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi's New Island, which are all distributed by WonderWorld Media. All these are corrected on the second release.

Scare Factor: High to NIGHTMARE. Many may be scared of the "Moog Statement 14" stock music combined with the inside-out square person (or a creepy gaze of Santa Claus in the Christmas version) and the V of Doom-like zoom in of the "Studios" text.
