Logos[]
1st logo (1969-1976; 1984)[]
We see a screen with many blacked out words and sections, save for some spaces which are already colored light blue. Then various parts of the background are filled in with greens, oranges, and reds until you have a psychedelic-like background. Then you can make out the words:
SID& MARTY KROFFT TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS
All are in a weird font, and get filled in one by one in this order: line 3 is colored pink, 1 red for "SID" and blue for "&", 2 Purple, 4 blue, and 5 blue-violet with pink on the 3-D part.
Variants[]
- A Short Version Were We Start When PRODUCTIONS Fills In
- A Still Version Exists
2nd logo (1987-1988; 2009; 2015-)[]
Same as the 1st logo, but the text now reads "SID & MARTY KROFFT PICTURES" in the same font as the 1st logo, with "PICTURES" styled after "PRODUCTIONS". This also create a uneven floor as well. The colors are slightly rearranged and are also far more saturated, with the light green replaced with yellow, "PICTURES" being in yellow/pink, and the "O" in the hot pink "KROFFT" now yellow as well.
Variants[]
- On 2009's Land of the Lost, the logo is in a box in the center of the screen, on a black background. The colors are also less saturated.
- Starting with Mutt and Stuff, the logo is animated like the first logo, but it's closer to the screen. It also uses the revamped colors.
3rd logo[]
We see a golden O spin out into the center of the screen. As it reaches the center, a psychedelic vortex explodes out from behind it and engulfs the background. The letters K, R, F, F, and T quickly fly around the O, creating the word "KROFFT" in its classic weird font. The rest of the logo then joins it, "SID & MARTY" from the top in teal/green/red, and "PICTURES" from the bottom in orange.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
There are three main music variants used on this logo:
- 1969-1970: A twiddling saxophone/xylophone theme ending in a dramatic jazz stinger.
- 1970-1971: A series of "glug-glug-glug" sounds with 2 sets of 4 ascending synthesized chimes; the second one is much faster. Is similar to the music used in the Viacom "Pinball" logo.
- 1971-1976: Same as before, except with different notes.
- 1984: A very odd synthesized version of the 1969 jingle with the Aphex Twin-styled stuttering snare drum after first few notes.
- In later years, the closing theme of the show was used.
2nd logo[]
- For the original version, same as the 1984 music variant of the first logo.
- On Land of the Lost, it's silent.
- On Mutt and Stuff and the 2016 reboot film of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, it's the 1969 music variant of the first logo.
3rd logo[]
The 1984 music from the first logo.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
Depending on the logo variant:
- 1969-1970: Low. This variant is well liked. However, the jazz stinger at the end will surprise some viewers.
- 1970-1971, 1971-1976: Low to medium. The fast paced animation and weird music might get to some.
- 1984: Low. The music variation will surprise you, not to mention the music itself sounding very strange.
- With The Closing Theme: None to low.
However, this is possibly one of the coolest looking logos ever.
2nd logo[]
Low to medium. The brightness of this logo combined with the music may scare some people.
3rd logo[]
Low.
