DNA Productions[]

[]

(1991-1994, 1999-2006 (primary logo); 1994-1999, 2006-present (secondary logo))

Nicknames: "Ugly Mirrored Guys (1991-2005, 2006-present)", "Kitten and Lady (VHS/Honeymoonies)", "Hiccups (VHS)", "Headless Cat (VHS)", "The Cat Killed the Lady (Honeymoonies)", "High Pitch (Honeymoonies)"

Logo: Against a blank background is a black-and-white picture of three people with one side of their face mirrored making strange faces. Below the photo is scrawly, hand-written text that says "Copyright (Year), DNA Productions Inc." The text jiggles.

Trivia: in the 1993 logo, the last person's mouth looks like Piggie's Mouth in the front cover for Elephant and Piggie's We Are in an Art-tivity Book.

FX/SFX: No sound; The text moving

Availability: Relatively low.

Variants:

  1. A version with the same text but in the photo are three distorted people with open mouths looking towards the viewer.
  2. In a VHS Tape, we see a kitten having the hiccups and a girl looking at the cat throughout the credits. That kitten then tries to hold the hiccups in, expanding his head until it explodes, with blood covering The Girl in the process as she too begins hiccuping. Copyright information appears above.
  3. On the Nanna & Lil' Puss Puss short "The Honeymoonies", the people are replaced with a static image of The same Kitten holding up the same girl's disembodied head and presenting it with his other hand as he smiles. Copyright information is seen below.

FX/SFX: text wobbling

Music/Sounds: A Choir of guys saying "One Foot Tie Fake Hat!".

Music/Sounds Variants:

  1. On the Nanna & Lil' Puss Puss short "Off the Record", they say “None Foot Time Fake Hat!... Ahhhhhhhhhh”. Before they say Aaaaaa , it fades out and back in and after the aaaa, it ends with a broken glass sound effect.
  2. The VHS variant uses a fiddler version of the theme, which is accompanied by various sound effects that correspond to the actions displayed on screen.
  3. On the short "The Honeymoonies", the audio is very slightly higher-pitched.

Avabillity: only seen in Puss Puss and Nana.

(1994-2002, 2009-present)

Nickname: "The Purple Cat Scientist"

Logo: Inside a red-orange circle on a black background we see a male purple creature with two tails in a double-helix shape and wearing a white lab coat with a purple bow tie on it somewhat resembling a cat with his back turned to us. In a circle around the circle containing the creature we see the pink text reading "DNA PRODUCTIONS INC." in a cartoonish font. He then turns his head to look at us and jumps to face us while holding his arms out. The text shines.

Variants:

1. on a Logo reel, A prototype version had a black background, red, puffy text, and a rougher version of Helix having an even more unfriendly appearance. He simply raises his finger in the air and adorns a Cheshire Cat grin. Helix also looks like the first part of the reel. This was also seen in a scrapped Olive the Other Reindeer but it got replaced by the Area 51 logo.

2. On The Helix the Cat Show, the logo is widescreen.

FX/SFX: The cat turning around, and jumping, the text shines.

Music/Sounds: A weird noise resembling high-pitched laughter, then a rising bouncy cartoony sound.

Music/Sounds Variant: The Variant shows a fast phone speaker.

Availability: Seen on both the Logo Reel from the VHS that used the 1st logo's variant and The Helix the Cat Show and Episode 1 of Jimmy Neutron.

Scare Factor: Low to medium. The weird noises might catch you off guard, and the cat isn't very friendly looking.

(2002-present)

Nicknames: "Hi, I'm Paul!" "DNA Monkey" "Paul, the Three eyed Monkey"

Logo: On a tropical background with a beach and a sunset, we see the black lowercase text "dna productions" near the top of the screen, and two double helix coconut trees twisting behind a bush, that look like DNA. A three eyed monkey jumps up from behind the trees and does diffrent actions:

  • Normal: He has his back turned to us, and turns around to wave at us, saying, "Hi I'm Paul!"
  • Double Your Pleasure: Two Pauls jump up with two backs turned to us, they both turn around, waving at them, and both say, "Hi, we're Paul!"
  • Bi-Lingual Paul: Paul jumps up, wearing a mustache with his back turned to us, when he turns around, he speaks, "Hola, Soy Pablo!" His mustache falls off promptly after.
  • Backwards Masking Paul: This logo is in reverse. It's like he's saying, "Aw, my eye!" (hence his 3rd eye)
  • Paul Blooper #1: Paul jumps up, trying to wave at us before he looks to the left, saying, "So what do you want me to say now?"
  • Paul Blooper #2: Paul jumps up with his back turned to us, turning around, trying to wave at us again, saying, "Hi, I'm....Line."
    • NOTE: The bloopers are lightened blue, yellow tropical background with a beach and a sunset, green leaves and branches on the bushes.
  • Coffee Break Paul: Paul is missing and he's not in the logo. A man offscreen speaks softly, "Paul?".
  • The Error: In 2006 and again in 2013, 2015 and 2019, there was an error where the logo starts when Paul turns. This was cut from the Nick logo and played second time (was normal for 1st).
  • Plaster my Pu-Cu!: The Normal variant plays normal, but when he's about to say "Paul", it cuts to a live action clip of a fat guy wearing a White/Pink shirt saying "Plaster my Pucu!".
  • Grand Dad: Instead of Paul, Grand Dad pops out of the bushes doing his pose looking at the screen saying "Grand Dad!".
  • Tyrone's Takeover: Instead of Paul, Tyrone appears out of the bush and says "Hi, I'm Tyrone".
  • Victor's Takeover: Same as the Error version, but it doesn't have the 1st time, Victor replaces Paul, it is a jungle background, starts when the 2nd part plays, and he says "Hi, I'm Victor". It cuts to the Nickelodeon logo before the fanfare finishes.
  • What's New Scooby-Doo?: For this variant, instead of it having a tropical background, it featured a blue background with the Scooby Doo gang (in their What's New, Scooby Doo? attire) arguing. 30 seconds later, the gang left. Paul the monkey walked in, and he said, "Who were those guys?"

FX/SFX: The spinning trees and Paul jumping up and waving at us. Gorgeous CGI animation, using Alias Wavefront Maya.

Music/Sounds: A very happy tropical xylophone sounder.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the What's New Scooby Doo? variant, there was music from What's New, Scooby Doo? (but not the theme song). as the gang left, the music stopped. As Paul is seen, the normal tropical music played.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The Music Was the sound of a tool in the MS Paint-escue program KidPix, Curious George 2: Follow that Monkey, Junior Class Road Trips, the end of an Aldi Commercial, and from the Sound Ideas Series 6000 sound effects library.

Availibility:

    • The Error version was seen in a rerun of Jimmy Neutron.
    • Victor's Takeover was seen on The Summer Show on Nickelodeon.
  • Don't expect to see this logo on Santa vs. the Snowman 3D or The Ant Bully (the last film and project produced by the company before their closure), as the company was only credited in-name only for those two films.

Scare Factor: None to low. The fact Paul has three eyes has scared younger viewers, but the fan-freaking-tastic CGI along with the cute monkey makes this a very memorable logo, especially with Jimmy Neutron fans.
