'''Nicknames:''' "The Square", "The Pixar Square", "Beveled Square with a Dent" | |||
'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a grey square with four circles in red, green, blue, and white respectively below. Suddenly, a white light hovers over them, making them 3-D. The circles then turn into spheres. A circle zooms in on the square and the four spheres zoom out. The word "P · I · X · A · R" in Trajan Pro font fades in with each sphere and the end of the letter. | |||
'''Trivia:''' | |||
* The square in this logo was based on the Pixar Image Computer, which is also where the company got its name. | |||
* On ''Tin Toy'', the square can be seen on a bag. | |||
* The square can also be seen on the game box on ''Geri's Game''. | |||
* This logo also makes a cameo in ''Toy Story 2'' on a television channel seen by Andy's toys during the channel-changing scene. | |||
* For the company's 30th anniversary, the square in this logo was used in place of the "0" in the 30th anniversary print logo. | |||
* This logo was created by director and executive producer John Lasseter on a stone cutting machine. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
* On ''Luxo Jr.'', an in-credit text is used with the square to the left of the text. | |||
* On a demo reel from 1988, the standard logo is still and grey diamonds replace the spheres. The end of the reel has the logo pushed up with the company's address below. The text style used in this variant is also used on all variants listed below. | |||
* At the beginning of another demo reel from 1990, Tinny from ''Tin Toy'' can be seen on the right side of the screen with the Pixar logo at the top left and a 1990 copyright stamp on the bottom left. At the end, it just shows the normal Pixar logo without the symbol but with a different address and phone number. | |||
* On ''Red's Dream'', the Pixar square logo is seen, which fades into the text "PIXAR". | |||
* On ''Tin Toy'', we see only the "PIXAR" text and it scrolls from right to left. | |||
* On the original version of ''Knick Knack'', the Pixar square logo zooms appears by a light and the text zooms up to the screen. | |||
* On the 1989 party video, the Pixar logo is rendered with a high specular and no wordmark. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The light, the circle in the square zooming in, the circles at the bottom zooming out and the fade in of the text. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' On original prints of ''Luxo Jr.'', and ''Beach Chair'', it used a big band style tune (which is taken from the ending of "Take a Bow 1", composed by David Lindup for Bruton Music (now APM Music)). The same stock music is from a syndication promo Studio City made called "Spin City on Ice" which you may find at the beginning here: https://vimeo.com/387020580 The variants use the short's opening theme. On newer prints of ''Luxo Jr.'', the standard logo is silent for some reason. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' | |||
* On the 1989 party video, we hear a triumphant majestic fanfare followed by a voiceover (Pixar employee Craig Good) remarking "The 1989 Christmas Video, brought to you by Pixar. Nobody knows exactly what it is we do, but they know we do it better than anyone in the world." | |||
* On ''Tin Toy'', a whimsical orchestral tune plays (taken from "Puffin' Billy" by Bruce Campbell). | |||
* On ''Red's Dream'', a rainy sound effect plays, followed by a saxophone playing a sad tune. | |||
'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on Pixar's animated shorts from 1986 until 1989. It is usually plastered over on re-releases of these shorts, but it is intact on certain shorts released on ''Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1''. It has turned up on an original Australian VHS copy of ''Toy Story 2'' which had the short ''Luxo Jr.'' before the film. Was also seen on the early short ''Beach Chair'' which can be found on the aforementioned ''Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1'' DVD (without the logo) as a bonus feature, as well as the rare Pixar employee DVD ''Made In Point Richmond'' (with the logo). | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' While this logo may look simple, it is still well-animated, and it was very advanced for its time. | |||

'''Availability:''' Current and very common. Seen on all Pixar movies and shorts from 1995 onward, with the exception of 3-D prints of most newer movies, which use the next logo below. It first appeared at the end of ''Toy Story'' (and appears at the beginning of said film on most current prints, following the 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo, and plastering the Pixar variant of the WDP logo) and has appeared at the beginning and end of all Pixar features starting with ''A Bug's Life''. The reanimated variant first appeared on the second trailer for ''Toy Story 4'', and made its official debut on the movie itself, even appearing on the 3-D version. The white background variant is fairly rare and was only seen on ''Buzz Lightyear of Star Command''. It plasters the previous logo on newer prints of ''Luxo Jr.'' and ''Knick Knack''. | '''Availability:''' Current and very common.
