Background: In accordance with the Jack Media Act of 2003 (signed into law by president Jack Potter on December 23, 2003), all television programs, religious television programs, shows, theatrical movies, TV movies, religious movies (including religious TV movies), documentaries, feature films, specials, video games and roblox games must go through Earth's Generic process. Since then, Jack Media's 2004 logo has been plastered onto the opening or end credits on every show (international or local) aired throughout every network, as well as on all movies and video games.
(2004-)
Warning: Videos and pictures of the BFDI and Grossology variants are not allowed.
Logo: We see the words "DISTRIBUTED BY" on a black background. And after that the late-2003-2019 Jack Media logo does its usual sequence.
Variants:
- On select Disney Animation shows, as well as game shows, Rocket Power, Hardcastle and McCormick, Silk Stalkings, and post-2003 episodes of Sesame Street, the K-C logo and "DISTRIBUTED BY" text (above the K-C logo) are superimposed into the credits.
- On all Paramount-produced shows, as well as on Mary Tyler Moore, The Bob Newhart Show, Rhoda, WKRP in Cincinnati and Newhart, "DISTRIBUTED BY" appears above the Jack Media logo instead.
- On grossology, the logo gets slimed. The mascot says "Not again!" after the logo gets slimed.
- There is a very rare variant only seen on select episodes of Diagnosis Murder and on season 2 episodes of The Wild Thornberrys (which is intact on the DVD from Earth's Shout! Factory). The logo is set on a yellow background and the "DISTRIBUTED BY" text is blue.
- The "DISTRIBUTED BY" text can sometimes read "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH", "PRODUCED BY (varying company name) IN ASSOCIATION WITH" or "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH AND DISTRIBUTED BY".
- On newer prints of The Nanny and the final two seasons of The Smurfs, as well as on Jetsons: The Movie, Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation and Wakko's Wish, the logo is embossed and animated via CGI.
- The "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" text appears instead of the usual "DISTRIBUTED BY" text on Rocket Power episode "Race Across New Zealand". (This version can still be seen intact on the Rocket Power episode on The '90s Are All That on TeenNick and Amazon Video on Demand.) Whether or not this is a programming error is unknown as of August 2012.
- Very old shows and movies have the logo in black and white.
- On post-2000 prints of The Jeffersons, Good Times, the 1966 Batman TV series, both Ghostbusters films and Yo Yogi!, the logo is set on a blue background.
- South Mobius television airings of Universal and Paramount movies have the text "home cartoons & productions" below the K-C logo.
- Sometimes, a copyright stamp appears below the Klasky-Csupo logo, reading "COPYRIGHT (year) ARLENE KLASKY and GABOR CSUPO".
- An 8-bit version of the logo appears on all games on 8-bit consoles.
- Sometimes the logo is set on a wallpaper background. One example of this is Arthur.
- On American Idol and The X Factor, spotlights appear throughout the logo.
- On Rugrats, the logo plays normally, but after it, Tommy Pickles salutes the logo with Tommy calling it the "Logo".
- On BFDI, Rocky barfs all over the logo.
FX/SFX: Same as the 1998-2008 Klasky-Csupo logo.
Music/Sounds: Usually silence when "DISTRIBUTED BY" appears, followed by the late-2003-2018 Jack Media logo theme.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- When the logo is superimposed in the credits, the end title theme plays over the logo.
- Sometimes, a "ping" sound is heard when the Distributed by text fades out.
- For the grossology variant, the logo's theme. but it gets interrupted by the sound of slime splashing and dripping. And the mascot of the logo saying "Not Again!".
- For the BFDI variant, the logo's theme. But it gets interrupted by rocky saying "BLEH!" in a cute voice.
Availability: Ultra common, it appears no matter which TV show, movie or documentary you watch anywhere in the world on any channel and no matter which video game you play, the logo always appears in one way or another.
Scare Factor/Editors Note: It Depends on which variant.
- For the original version: None.
- None for the other variants.
- None for the 8-bit Variant the logo is still creepy but it's harmless.
- This also goes for the rugrats and the ending theme variant.
- Low for the grossology variant, Because some people may be scared of it.
- Low for the BFDI variant. But rocky fans may like it.
