Ghost Planet/Williams Street

Nicknames: "The Space Ghost Logo", "The CN Building", "The Adult Swim Logo"

Logo: On a very pale gray background, we see a corner shot of a dark gray building. (This building is not the Williams Street office, but the Ghost Planet building where Space Ghost does his interviews; it later appeared in CGI in the intros to SGC2C and Toonami) Under it, it would say one of three things:
  • 1994-1995/2003-2004: "WILLIAMS STREET WEST" is under the building. The wavering filter and building are in reverse.
  • 1995-2001-: "GHOST PLANET INDUSTRIES" , in a "ghost" font is below the building.
  • 2001-:"WILLIAMS STREET". Also, in this version, it cuts to a skull with the 1992-2004 Cartoon Network logo on it

Variants: On Squidbillies, Frisky Dingo and Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil, the building is much smaller and the name and waving are much bigger. On the SGC2C episode "Sharrock", the logo is completely silent to observe the memory of Sonny Sharrock, the show's musician. Also, there is an inverted version on the episode "Kentucky Nightmare".

FX: Very little. A very subtle waving of the logo.

Cheesy Factor: Sound quality and quality of the drawing are bad, though this is probably deliberate.

Music/Sounds: The ever popular Mark VII "Hammer" music from 1967-1971; contains two strikes of the hammer (three for the Ghost Planet Industries version), being shortened on some shows. In other cases, it used the closing theme of the show. (If you listen closely, certain shows still have a bit of Master Shake yelling "dance!" really quickly.)

Availability:
  • The "Ghost Planet Industries" can be found on 1995-2001 episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, as well as the rather obscure Cartoon Planet.
  • The "Williams Street" variant can be seen on most everything Adult Swim produced recently, as well as IGPX: Immortal Grand Prix.
  • The "Williams Street West" variant can be seen on the 1994-1995 season of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, as well as the show's 2003-2004 season (the last one). WSW was just a small subsidiary that Matt Harrigan used to work for Viacom AND Williams Street without having to return to Atlanta constantly. After he stopped working for Viacom, this subsidiary closed.

Scare Factor: Depending on the logo variant:
  • Low to medium. It's a very jarring logo, cutting in DIRECTLY after whatever comes before it (SGC2C is the sole exception to this; the GPI logo always fades in there, though in its later years with the WS logo that one cuts in). The Mark VII music combined with the odd image may make some uneasy too, but this logo is a favorite of nearly everyone who see it.
  • Low with the closing theme of the show.
