Braniff
1st Logo
(1997)
Nickname: "Le Petit Package"
Logo: Shot in black and white, we see a group of six men with their pants down and a long black bar covering all their private areas (the fourth is naked and holding some balloons, and the sixth is a clown). The men are dancing in a chorus line. The bar displays the text "BRANIFF AIRLINES". "IN CONJUNCTION WITH..." then appears in place of the company name.
Trivia: The men are part of "Le Petit Package", a short film creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker make during the making of the first episode of South Park.
FX/SFX: All live-action, with the camera moving a bit.
Music/Sounds: Just the men singing "Braniff Airliiiines!" off-key.
Availability: Rare; only seen on the original pilot episode of South Park.
Scare Factor: None, but may be much higher to those who are disturbed by the subject matter.
2nd Logo
(August 13, 1997-March 29, 2006)
Nicknames: "Braniff Airlines", "Braniff Airplane", "Believe it!"
Logo: On a sky background, we see a rather fake-looking Boeing airplane zooming in from the left, film footage from a Braniff Airlines commercial. Then, the red text "BRANIFF" zooms in from below, gets stretched across to the right as a white line is drawn through it, then snaps back to its original position. The text "BELIEVE IT!" appears under the "BRANIFF" text.
FX/SFX: The airplane and text forming.
Cheesy Factor: The airplane does not look very realistic and the film is grainy. Also, the text effects are very amateurish.
Music/Sounds: An uplifting 12-note fanfare based on a song whose lyrics are "The skies are blue, and all the leaves are green...". This song is called "Shpadoinkle Day", and is heard in Trey Parker and Matt Stone's film Cannibal! The Musical. Starting with season 3, the music is overridden by the South Park theme.
Availability: Still seen on South Park reruns on Comedy Central, but is plastered on syndicated ones. It is still intact on the South Park DVD box sets.
Scare Factor: None.
