===Background===

'''Pixar Animation Studios''' (pronounced "pics-ar") was formed in 1979 as The Graphics Group of [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]] Computer Division by Edwin Catmull, Steve Jobs, and John Lasseter. It was renamed to its current name in 1986, and originally produced CGI animated shorts, most notably ''The Adventures of André and Wally B.'', ''Luxo Jr.'', and ''Tin Toy''. They later began working on feature films starting with 1995's ''Toy Story'', a joint production with [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Walt Disney Feature Animation]] which was the first ever full-length film to be computer-animated. In 2006, Pixar was acquired by [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]].  

===(July 25 or August 17, 1984)===

'''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.'' starting with the DVD and Blu-ray for ''Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1'', the standard logo is silent, likely due to the use of the 5.1 remix from the 1999 prints that accompanied ''Toy Story 2'', which replaced the logo with the 1995 logo and a notice.

* 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."

'''Editor's Note:''' While this logo may look simple, it is still well-animated, and it was very advanced for its time.

'''Nicknames:''' "Luxo Jr. II", "Pixar Lamp II"

*Just like its 2D counterpart, the logo has also been re-animated and re-rendered with Pixar's current software. So far, only seen on ''Onward''.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous logo or the opening theme of the movie.

'''Editor's Note:''' A fun twist on the Pixar logo, perfectly taking advantage of the 3D format.
