Background: Fred Whelk Productions is a production company which first created Pizza Head: The Animated Series in 1999. In 1999, it was first named as “Pizza Head Productions”. At the end of 2007, the company went defunct due to the said TV show dropping the viewing poll.
Pizza Head Productions[]
1st Logo
(1999-2006)
Nicknames: “Pizza Head I”, “Well, That’s All For Today Kids. See You Next Time. I”
Logo: On a blue sky farm background, we see a ring with the company name around it, zooming/spinning in. On the ring, we see Pizza Head.
FX/SFX: The ring zooming and spinning in. Unusual 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: An announcer saying “Well, that’s all for today kids. See you next time.” (like in Pizza Hut’s Pizza Head commericals).
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On the Pizza Head: The Animated Series episodes “My Friend Donut” and “All Beverages Big and Small”, the logo is silent.
- On FOX airings, they have the FOX generic theme instead.
Availability: Extinct. Seen on season 1 of Pizza Head: The Animated Series.
Editor’s Note: The animation is so low-budget and very choppy indeed, and how did some amateur 10 year old managed to make this kind of “logo”?
2nd Logo
(2006-2007)
Nicknames: “Pizza Head II”, “Well, That’s All For Today Kids. See You Next Time. II”
Logo: On a green stripes background, we see the new and improved version of the logo.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.
Availability: Extinct again. Seen on season 2 of Pizza Head: The Animated Series. On AwesomenessTV prints of the Pizza Head: The Animated Series episode “Creepy Heck”, it was replaced by the Dreamworks Television logo.
Editor’s Note: At least this was better than the 1st logo thanks to the lack of the cheesiness in this logo.
Note: At the end of 2007, the company went defunct due to the said TV show dropping the viewing poll.
Fred Whelk Productions[]
Background: After his production company went defunct in the end of 2007, Fred now makes a comeback to Pizza Head Productions in 2014, but this time, they’ve changed their name to “Fred Whelk Productions”.
(2014-)
Nickname: “The Strange Book Opening”
Logo: We see a purple book on a wooden table. The book opens while the camera zooms in to the whole of the page, seeing that the page is a static background from your TV. In the static, we see the company name written in an American Typewriter font (used in white with a black shadow).
FX/SFX: The book opening to reveal a static-containing page, the camera zooming in.
Music/Sounds: A static sound fading in from the beginning.
Availability: Seen on Honey, Where’s My Freakin’ Car?! on Comedy Central and AS, The Universe is Upon Us on CBS; and many more from CBS, FOX, ABC and NBC.
Editor’s Note: Since this logo is quite freaky for standards, Fred is honored that he’s back in business.
