1st Logo

(13 June 2017)

Note: Lolo wanted to have Horacio or a Miniz (it's how Lolo call this character design) in EVERY logos of Team Horacio. However, it's only since the 2nd logo. As for the company's logo, “Team” is red because the berret Horacio wears has a red bobble on the top, and if the word “Horacio” are filled with a black and white gradient, it's because Horacio wears black & white clothes.

Team Horacio (Black background)Team Horacio (White background)

Nicknames:"Laserprinted logo", "GameCubesque sound", "That logo at the end of Horacio & Pals", "The only Team Horacio logo... Without Horacio."

Logo:On a black background, we see a laser printing the word Horacio in two time: the first time, it's the texture of a squared paper that appears, and the second time, the words “Horacio” in a cartoon font. After the apperance of “Horacio”, the words “Team” jump above the words “Horacio” letter by letter, and finally, the logo shines.

Variant:Sometimes, the logo is on a white background (see above)

FX:All the action on the logo (the word “Horacio” being printed and the word “Team” jumping above “Horacio”

Music/Sounds: A xylophone jingle that sounds like the GameCube boot screen jingle. It was written to ressemble the GameCube jingle, in fact.

Availability:It appeared only on the first episode of Horacio and Pals.

Scare Factor: None.

2nd Logo

(present)

Team Horacio (Normal variant)Team Horacio (Clones variant)

Nicknames:"Stop-Motion Logo", "The new logo at the end of Horacio & Pals", "Meet Horacio's pals"

Note:On the pictures below, here's the characters names from left to right: Oranja, Zombie, Tsunami, Boomer, Horacio, Kronk, Divine, Bruiser and Turbo.

Logo: “Team Horacio” is now up.Horacio runs to stop on the middle of the screen, wave at us, and after that, Divine appears. And then Boomer, Bruiser, Kronk, Zombie, Turbo, Oranja, and Tsunami joins to him. Finally, they make their poses.

FX:Horacio and his friends appearing on screen.

Variant:This logo got a few variants.

In “Clones”, the clones replaces the normal Miniz (See the right pictures below)

On a Halloween Special, Zombie imitated the Mutant Enemy zombie, with the Team Horacio logo on a white background. But then, he stops, and say “Je suis obligé de faire ça ?” (Am I obligated to do that ?).

In “The Giant Robot”, the logos plays normally, but when everybody is on-screen, the Megabot falls behind them.

In “Cinema Day”, after the episode ends, Horacio and his friends are sit on a couch. Bruiser then say “N'oublie pas le logo, hein !” (Don't forget the logo, okay ?). Then Horacio search a video tape and then pulls out the video tape that was actually readed to replace it with the tape with the logos. The Team Horacio logo play normally after that.

Another logo spoof appeared on “Gamer 4-Ever”, when the GameBoy Advance boot screen was parodied. “Team” is already on screen and “Horacio” bounce under “Team” while the GameBoy Advance boot screen sound is played. Lolo is a retro gamer, after all !

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability:Common. You'll find it at the end of the episode 2 to 12 of Horacio & Pals.

Scare Factor: It depend of the variant:

None for the normal and the clone variant.

From low to high for the Mutant Enemy parody logo: it all depends of how do you feel about the original logo, but the parody is quite funny.

Low for the GameBoy Advance boot screen spoof. It's a good hommage to the GameBoy Advance.
