Nippers

Background

Nippers was an imprint of the Contender Entertainment Group that released products aimed at a pre-school audience. The imprint was discontinued in 2004.

1st Logo (1999-2001)

Visuals: On a white background, a cream piece of lined paper pans to the middle of the screen. A pencil writes the word "Nippers" in red, with 2 lines between the "ip" and "er". After it writes, the pencil faces the the 2 "p"s and the writing part of the pencil side sparkles and freezes. A black registered trademark symbol appears on top of the "s".

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A dreamy-sounding tune, followed by some writing sound and a ding.

Availability: Appears on various pre-school releases from Contender, such as the 1999 UK VHS release of CITV Favourites for Under 5's, and the 2000 UK VHS release of Fire Engine Fred: Fred and the Opening Day Fred, respectively.

2nd Logo (2001-2004)

Visuals: On a white background with a red box underneath, 2 "N"s, 1 large capital "N" in purple, and 1 little n in blue with arms, both having eyes appear from the left and right respectively. The little "n" does a flip and a jump, which causes the larger "N" to gain a smile. The red cursive text "Nippers" appears on the top, circling them. Afterwards, the text and red box move with the text becoming white and gaining a registered trademark symbol on it alongside the "N"s zooming in a bit. Afterwards, the website link "www.nippernet.com" appears through an effect by appearing through the right.

Variant: On the Nippernet website, the animation is animated differently in Adobe Flash and "Nippernet" replaces "Nippers".

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A bouncy tune and a weird cheer of sorts from the little "n", along with the bouncing noises.

Availability: This also appears on pre-school releases from Contender, with their logo following before this one.^[Examples?]

On later releases, this would appear on the VHS label, but not on the feature itself.
DVD releases do not feature this logo at all, once again despite appearing on the packaging.
