Blue Sky produced the famous ''Nicktoons Blob'' commercial bumper which aired on [[Nickelodeon]] from 1993 to 1997. Blue Sky has also produced full-length animated movies beginning with<i> Ice Age</i>. Currently, Blue Sky Studios is a unit of [[20th Century Fox Film Corporation|20th Century Fox]] and a subsidiary of [[21st Century Fox|21st Century Fox Inc.]] (now The Walt Disney Company). On January 5, 2009, the studio was moved from White Plains, New York to Greenwich, Connecticut. Blue Sky also animated 20th Century Fox's current logo for the studio's 75th anniversary. On December 14, 2017, Disney officially confirmed its acquisition of 21st Century Fox's key assets.<br/></font></font><div><font size="3"><font><br/><br/></font></font></div><div><div><font size="3"><br/></font><div><font><font size="3">1st Logo<br/>(2002)</font><br/><img align="right" alt="Blue Sky Studios (2002)" height="156" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/YCSiBjnLgvmE4oFCTe3lVQ6603/GW279H156" title="Blue Sky Studios (2002)" width="279"/><br/><font size="3"><u>Nickname</u>: "The Blue Paintstroke"<br/><br/><u>Logo</u><font color="#333333"><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: On a black background, we see the words </font></font></font></font><font size="3">"<font><b>Blue Sky</b><font color="#333333">" in white, accompanied by a blue paintstroke running underneath.

When he reaches the acorn and embraces it, the surface suddenly tips to the right, so Scrat runs to the left and closer to the screen, causing the surface to tip towards the left, becoming increasingly vertical. Scrat scrambles in vain to tip the surface back to the right, but ends up clinging to the vertical surface while his acorn falls off-screen. The camera then zooms out to reveal the vertical surface is the left side of the "</font><font><b>B</b></font><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">" in "</font><font><b><font color="#00a8fc">Blue</font><font color="#333333"> </font><font color="#1e258a">Sky</font></b></font><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">" (the word "</font><b><font face="Garamond">Blue</font></b><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">" is in cyan while "</font><font><b>Sky</b></font><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">" is in dark blue), with "STUDIOS" seen below.
