1st Logo
(2003-2014)
Logo: We see a jittery TV screen with bluish static and a film countdown leaderboard on it. The Shout! Factory logo consists of five unevenly-arranged rectangles alternating between red and black colors in a pattern with an exclamation point at the end, with "SHOUT" displayed on each rectangle letter-by-letter with the exclamation point at the end and "FACTORY" is shown below it in between two horizontal lines, comes into focus, flashing a bit. As the leaderboard finishes the static remains, and then fades away after a couple of seconds. The logo tilts a bit before fading out.
FX/SFX: The static, leaderboards, and logo focusing.
Music/Sounds: A film projector running combined with static, electric buzzing, and a VID-like whirring sound.
Music/Sounds Variant: There is also a higher-pitched variant of the logo music.
Availability: Common. Seen on DVDs released from the company, mostly classic TV shows and films. Also appears on Blu-rays, but it's in DVD quality.
Editor's Note: None
2nd Logo

Nicknames: "Red and Black Bars II", "The Other Bars of Boredom"
Logo: On a white background, 2 bars with the word "FACTORY" slides in. As it settles, 3 red bars and 2 black bars, all unevenly arranged, rise up from the bar and "SHOUT" appears on the bars one by one. A exclamation point flies in and sticks to the last bar. All this happens at a very fast pace.
FX/SFX: The bar sliding in, the bars rising up, and the exclamation point sticking on the bar.
Music/Sounds: A distant explosion sound followed by a series of short swooshes.
Availability: Current. Seen on newer Shout! Factory releases, such as The Battery and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks. It also appeared on the 2017 revival of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Nicknames: "Red and Black Bars", "Then-and-Now Television"Logo: We see a jittery TV screen with bluish static and a film countdown leaderboard on it. The Shout! Factory logo consists of five unevenly-arranged rectangles alternating between red and black colors in a pattern with an exclamation point at the end, with "SHOUT" displayed on each rectangle letter-by-letter with the exclamation point at the end and "FACTORY" is shown below it in between two horizontal lines, comes into focus, flashing a bit. As the leaderboard finishes the static remains, and then fades away after a couple of seconds. The logo tilts a bit before fading out.
Variant: Some feature film releases features the logo in widescreen (actually non-anamorphic widescreen, as it's rather cheaply horizontally stretched.)
FX/SFX: The static, leaderboards, and logo focusing.
Music/Sounds: A film projector running combined with static, electric buzzing, and a VID-like whirring sound.
Music/Sounds Variant: There is also a higher-pitched variant of the logo music.
