Pixar Animation Studios: Difference between revisions

'''Availability:''' Very rare. This can only be seen on Pixar's first short ''The Adventures of André and Wally B,'' which can be seen on the DVD and Blu-ray for Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1.

'''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.

* 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.

*On the 1989 party video, the Pixar logo is rendered with a high specular and no wordmark.

'''Logo:''' On a light blue background, we see the text "{{font|times new roman|PIXAR}}" in a spaced-out Charlemagne Bold face. Then a lamp hops by. He stops once he notices the "I". He shakes his body and bounces on the "I" four times before squishing it. He looks around as the text "ANIMATION STUDIOS" fades in underneath the letters "A" and "R". He then faces the camera. Afterwards, either of the two will happen:

*2017-present: A logo reads "Pixar Animation Studios". Luxo Jr. hops in. the little desk lamp jumps on the letter I, squashing it down, then looks around.

* On theatrical releases of ''Cars 2'', the logo plays but after the logo finishes the letters disappear leaving just the lamp. Then everything fades out and "CELEBRATING" fades in and slowly zooms in on a black background. Behind the text "25 YEARS" (with "25" above the "YEARS") fades in behind the "CELEBRATING" and is in a light blue font.

* A still version without Luxo Jr. on a white background exists on ''Buzz Lightyear of Star Command'', the Game Boy Color version of the ''Monsters, Inc.'' video game, and ''Operation: Camouflage'' for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

* A still version without Luxo Jr., with white text on a black background, can be seen on trailers and TV spots for ''Toy Story''.

* A still version with Luxo Jr. exists on ''Toy Story 3'' for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

* There is a short version which starts with the completed logo and only includes Luxo Jr. looking at us. It usually appears in front of shorts and trailers. This short version also appeared at the very beginning of ''Monsters, Inc.''

* On ''The Incredibles'', ''Monsters, Inc.'', ''Ratatouille'', ''Inside Out'', ''Onward'' and ''Soul,'' the opening theme of the movie plays over the logo.

* The music varies at the tail end of ''Monsters, Inc.'' DVD (widescreen version), Blu-ray and TV airings of said movie have the closing music ("Walk to Work", an excerpt from Randy Newman's score), but on the 2002 VHS release, the 2002 Australian DVD and the fullscreen version on DVD, the music uses one of the songs ("If I Didn't Have You", sung by Billy Crystal as Mike Wazowski and John Goodman as Sulley) from earlier in the credits reel due to bloopers and a conclusion short being shown earlier on.

'''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 common. Seen on most Pixar 3-D releases starting with ''Up''. Also seen when ''Toy Story'' and ''Toy Story 2'' were re-released in Disney Digital 3-D. This and the 2011 variant of the 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo plaster the previous logo on 3-D prints of ''For the Birds''. It also appears on both 3-D and even 2-D prints of newer shorts. The reanimated variant appears on 3D versions of films starting with ''Onward'', as well as the 2020 Disney Investor Day.
