===Background===
===Background===
'''Williams Street Productions, LLC''' is a production sub-arm of [[Warner Bros. Television]] established in 1994 first under the name of "Ghost Planet Industries" to produce animated shows for the young-adult audience. The company also opened a small subsidiary in 2003 as [[Williams Street West]] so that their creative director, Matt Harrigan could work for [[Viacom (1971-2006)|Viacom International]] and Williams Street without having to return to Atlanta constantly. It closed its doors shortly after he stopped working for Viacom (though the subsidiary was revived in 2017, however, it was closed again in 2020). All of the company's shows are currently aired on [[Adult Swim]].
In 1999, '''[[Ghost Planet Industries]]''' was renamed to '''Williams Street''' and it expanded to produce anything beyond ''SGC2C'' and Toonami, which included the new Midnight Run and Rising Sun blocks. The company heralded the creation of Adult Swim in 2001, with such shows like ''Harvey Birdman: Attroney at Law'' and ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force''. The company also opened a small subsidiary in 2003 as [[Williams Street West]] so that their creative director, Matt Harrigan could work for [[Viacom (1971-2006)|Viacom International]] and Williams Street without having to return to Atlanta constantly. It closed its doors shortly after he stopped working for Viacom (though the subsidiary was revived in 2017, however, it was closed again in 2020). All of the company's shows are currently aired on [[Adult Swim]].

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|lightgray|very pale gray}} background, we see a corner shot of a {{color|darkgray|dark gray}} building. Under it, it would say one of these texts:
'''Logo:''' Same as the [[Ghost Planet Industries]] logo, except the text reads "'''WILLIAMS STREET'''" in a Futura-like font.


*July 28, 1995-December 25, 1998, May 7, 2001-January 1, 2003, April 12, 2004: "'''GHOST PLANET INDUSTRIES'''", in a "ghost" font.
'''Early Variant:''' Some early shows with the logo contain the letters farther apart (in a different font), the waving is bigger and it has a smoother and faster rate, and had better image quality.
*October 8, 1999-: "'''WILLIAMS STREET'''", in the same font.


'''Trivia:''' The building is not the Williams Street office (however it's actually the TBS building at 1065 Williams Street NW in Atlanta, Georgia), but the Ghost Planet Industries building where Space Ghost does his interviews. The building appeared in CGI in the intros to ''SGC2C'' (starting with the show's S3 episode "Late Show") and later in [[Toonami IDs|Toonami]].
'''Trivia:''' This early logo variant was featured in an Adult Swim bump from 2010.


'''Variants:'''
'''Variants:'''
*There is also an inverted version of the GPI logo on season 7 of ''SGC2C''.
**The first episode of S7, "Kentucky Nightmare", used a slightly more distorted version of that variant, along with the S8 episode "Baffler Meal".
**On the season 7 episode "The Justice Hole", this variant is completely blurred.
*On most Adult Swim shows from 2012-2022, the logo has (barely readable) Cartoon Network copyright information that also waves like the logo, and it does not cut to the Cartoon Network "Skull". Also, the logo has been converted to letterbox. A few shows from the time frame however don't use the copyright info, alongside shows returning from that time frame in 2022 due to the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery.

**From 2018-2022, the "A Time Warner Company." part of the byline is replaced with "A WarnerMedia Company.", the rest of the logo though is the same. The reason for this is due to the AT&T acquisition of Time Warner which changed the latter's name to WarnerMedia on June 14, 2018.

**On season 2 of ''Birdgirl'', the copyright information is different, longer, and in a different font (presumably Impact?) and it no longer waves like the logo. Most of the time, the logo is slightly moved up to make room for said copyright information.

*On the "analog video remix" for the ''Off the Air'' episode "NEWNOW", the logo is shaded {{color|midnightblue|midnight blue}}, mimicking the retro VHS theme of the episode. The word "'''EJECT'''" is also seen.
*On the ''Off the Air'' episode "Patterns", the logo appears on Space Ghost's monitor with an airplane passing by leaving behind trails of smoke.
*On the ''Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell'' episode "Fried Alive", blood is splattered onto the logo.
*On the ''Gemusetto'' episode "Episode Two: A# Minor", there is a man in a circle on the upper left corner saying "Now, that's using your noodle."
*On the first episode of ''Blade Runner: Black Lotus'', the copyright information appears for a split-second before disappearing.

*On ''Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell: The Cartoon'', ''Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm'',  and the ''Adult Swim Yule Log'', the logo is redrawn and the "'''WILLIAMS STREET'''" text is in a different font.
*On the pilot of ''Stroker & Hoop'', the early version has a copyright notice below the logo.
'''Technique:''' Same as the [[Ghost Planet Industries]] logo.


'''Technique:''' Very little, just subtle waving effects.
'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the [[Ghost Planet Industries]] logo, but starting in late 1999, it was cut down to two hammer strikes.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' The [[Mark VII Limited]] "Hammer" sound from 1967-1971, containing two strikes of the hammer (three for the Ghost Planet Industries version), being shortened on some shows.
 
'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' This sound can be heard at the beginning of the ''SGC2C'' episode "Curling Flower Space".


'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
*In other cases, it used the closing theme of the show (if you listen closely, certain shows (such as early seasons of ''Robot Chicken'') still have a bit of Master Shake from ''ATHF'' (voiced by Dana Snyder) yelling "Dance!" really quickly, which is taken from him saying "Dancing is forbidden!" from the first episode of ''ATHF'').

*Sometimes, it's silent. One example is the ''SGC2C'' S3 episode "Sharrock" to observe the memory of Sonny Sharrock, the show's musician.
*Sometimes, it's silent.
*On the ''SGC2C'' "Lovesick" episode, Star Lady's rant continues over the logo ("You think it's cool to have no pupils just so you can look like Batman or somethin'... No wonder Ms. Nesbitt left you!")
*On ''Squidbillies'', it's the respective ending theme of the show.
*On ''Squidbillies'', it's the respective ending theme of the show.
*On the ''SGC2C'' S7 episode "Kentucky Nightmare", the music is a long held out metal guitar riff played 2 times in place of the hammer strikes.
**A similar variant appeared on the S8 episode, "Baffler Meal", but also includes Space Ghost (voiced by George Lowe) yelling "NOOOO!!!".
*On ''The Eric Andre Show'' episode "The Eric Andre Show 15", the logo cuts out early and we hear the 2nd hammer strike while the screen is black.

'''Availability:''' Common.
'''Availability:''' Common. Can be seen on most shows Williams Street has produced, and ''SGC2C'' episodes from season 6. It is also seen at the beginning of ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Colon Movie Film for Theaters''. It can also be seen on the pilot episode of ''Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law'', ''Rick and Morty'', as well as season 5 of ''Samurai Jack'', and the 2 new ''FLCL'' seasons (Progressive and Alternative) as well. Strangely, this logo does not appear on ''IGPX'' (both the 2003 microseries and the full 26-episode show from 2005), probably due to the fact that the show aired on CN's Toonami rather than on Adult Swim. The early version was first seen on the ''SGC2C'' episode "Chambraigne", and is regularly seen on ''Sealab 2021'', ''Squidbillies'' (seasons 1 and 2; except for "Giant Foam Dickhat Trouble"), ''Frisky Dingo'', ''Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil'' (starting with the second episode) and season 2 of ''Delocated''. It was also seen on the first episode of ''Stroker and Hoop''.
*The "Ghost Planet Industries" variant can be found on 1995-2001 episodes of ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'' starting with the S2 episode, "Sleeper" (as well as its finale "Live At The Fillmore", aired in 2004, due to the fact that said episode is unfinished and so its entire end credits sequence, logos and all, is just the one from the GPI-era episode "Kentucky Nightmare"), as well as the rather obscure ''Cartoon Planet''.
*The "Williams Street" one can be seen on most shows Williams Street has produced, and ''SGC2C'' episodes from season 6. It is also seen at the beginning of ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Colon Movie Film for Theaters''. It can also be seen on the pilot episode of ''Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law'', ''Rick and Morty'', as well as season 5 of ''Samurai Jack'', and the 2 new ''FLCL'' seasons (Progressive and Alternative) as well. Strangely, this logo does not appear on ''IGPX'' (both the 2003 microseries and the full 26-episode show from 2005), probably due to the fact that the show aired on CN's Toonami rather than on Adult Swim.  
 
'''Legacy:''' A well-known logo among Adult Swim fans due to its sampling of a logo theme from the past, its dark and unique concept and its longevity.
