Background: The Curiosity Company is The Simpsons creator Matt Groening's independent production company, known for producing the animated series Futurama and the Christmas special Olive the Other Reindeer.
(March 28, 1999-September 4, 2013)
Nicknames: "The Water Reflection", "The Surfboard Reflection", "A Study in Wet Logo"
Logo: Against a black background, we see the silvery words "THE CURIOSITY COMPANY" arranged in three lines underneath a square. Above it is a heavily distorted image of wavy lines or waves washing ashore, which varies depending on the episode. In either version, there is a "C" shape made from a distorted surfboard reflection in either fully red or red with a white copy on it. On the other version, the distorted surfboard "C" shape appears to move down, with copies connecting them. There is another version, where we see golden dots on the water. The "O" in "CURIOSITY" has a dot in it.
Trivia: The water rippling footage is taken from a short film entitled <a href="https://youtu.be/rfR3wnb3Cjc" target="_self">A Study in Wet</a>, made by Homer Groening, Matt Groening's father.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The waves (live-action).
Music/Sounds: Either a heavily distorted "tick-tock" sound or a heavily distorted sound of waves washing ashore, depending on the episode.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Common on local syndicated airings of Futurama and Olive the Other Reindeer on Cartoon Network around Christmas. It can be found on DVDs and VHS tapes of Futurama and Olive the Other Reindeer. Don't expect this to appear on Disenchantment, though.
Editor's Note:This logo is known for disturbing some due to its weird noises and psychedelic patterns.
