Vyond

Background: Vyond was founded as GoAnimate in November 1, 2007 by Alvin Hung, and the first version of GoAnimate went live in mid-2008. In late August 2011, GoAnimate for Schools was publicly launched. GoAnimate for Schools was a school-safe version of GoAnimate featuring dedicated privacy, security, content moderation and group management features. On September 16, 2013, GoAnimate changed its logo, removing the exclamation mark. That same day, the site relaunched with a new user interface, plus the removal of GoBucks and GoPoints. On October 19, 2015, it was announced that GoAnimate would migrate from Adobe Flash and go towards HTML5 animation, which can allow mobile device compatibility. The older, less technological-adaptable themes (or Non-Business Themes) such as Lil' Peepz, Comedy World, Anime, and Cartoon Classics, were retired as they were incompatible with HTML5. GoAnimate for Schools however, retained Adobe Flash and the non-business themes until July 26, 2016. On November 25, 2015, GoAnimate replaced their free plan with a trial plan that lasts 14 days. After the subscription expires, the ability to create or edit videos is locked until a paid plan is subscribed to. On May 6, 2018, GoAnimate was renamed to Vyond after the company had revealed its launching to occur at an exhibition in San Diego a day later. The trading name for Vyond remains as "GoAnimate, Inc.". On May 6, 2019, Vyond announced the retirement of the legacy video maker, due to the end-of-life of Flash. It was planned to be retired on December 16, 2019, but was eventually retired on December 18, 2019. All user accounts defaulted to Vyond Studio on August 14, 2019. 3 days later, in December 21, 2019, the Legacy Video Maker was returned as GoAnimate REMASTERED by a fan-group, though it may not work. On September 4, 2020, Vyond was announced the retirement of GoAnimate REMASTERED, due to the end-of-life of Flash, which going to be shut down in December 31, 2020 due to copyright infrigement.

2nd Logo

(November 1, 2007-September 4, 2020)

Logo: On a light black background that looks rusted and a vignette, we see many different characters from different GoAnimate themes. The words "created with" fades in. Then the GoAnimate logo swooshes in from the left very fast. Then, the words "easily make animations exactly the way you want" fades in below.

Trivia: The logo was created by Alvin Hung.

Variant: There so many variants (e.g. GoAnimate Network, etc.) exists on some GoAnimate videos.

FX/SFX: Good 2D animation.

Editor's Note: You'll just be annoyed at how many times you've seen it.

3rd Logo

(Late 2010- )

Logo: On a blue background, we see an orange "o." Then we suddenly see lots of Business Friendly characters run into it, then the background changes to a speedup-like background as the "o" zooms out. Then, the words "Animate" comes in from the right. The background changes to solid blue. A cursor then appears and goes off-screen, and puts an orange "G" to the left of the "o" and sets it into place, forming the GoAnimate logo. The logo zooms out, the words "Created with" and "Make Professional Animated Videos. Easily" fades in below.

Trivia: Like the previous logo, this logo was done by Alvin Hung.

Variants: FX/SFX: Stunning 2D animation!
 * There is a prototype and longer variant when the "o" is teleporting under the logo, the Business Friendly characters were slower and the text is different. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axpb_TvCIE8
 * Sometimes, the animation is a little bit cut off at the start. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axpb_TvCIE8
 * Another variant where the logo is a little bit glitching. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axpb_TvCIE8
 * An aspect ratio version exists. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-g4orPTYhY
 * On the NathanTDA video "Caillou & Rosie give their Parents Punishment Day/Grounded", the animation is different and the word "Go" is even more closer to "Animate".
 * Since GoAnimate (now Vyond) publishes many videos, there is an incredibly great amount of variants including (e.g. GoAnimate Network, etc.) and "Classic Caillou Makes A Fake Lockdown". Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=057aWj9xItg
 * On a unknown video on samster5677 video, the logo was glitching for a hold-second, and then nothing happens because Dora switches the light off in this video. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J3PFw6AOMo

Music/Sounds: None.

Music/Sounds Variants: Availability: Current. This logo was first seen on some beta and normal Business Friendly characters since 2010. After that, it began as a outro from October 7, 2013 to late-summer 2019 and early-mid 2020. The normal version can be seen here along with the two logos on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14I97WmUBki7noilNr6sN4X_wJMN16ddt This logo can be seen as a watermark on GoAnimate REMASTERED, GoAnimate4Schools REMASTERED and Wrapper Offline from early 2020 until September 4, 2020. It was first seen as a watermark in September 16, 2013. This logo appears at the start and the end on Newest Nick's video "The Great 4D Ride".
 * On the Brendan Barney video "Dora Wants Ice Cream", an unknown video about Dora Gets Grounded, and Caillou Has A Baby With Dora, the last bit of the sound cuts early. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv7qpxsmmmA
 * On the IT-Saac Studios video "Caillou Has A Baby With Dora", Caillou is saying during the logo, due to an error. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcfothtSXwY
 * On the IT-Saac Studios video "Caillou the Detective" and at the start and the end of The Great 4D Ride, it's the opening/closing of the theme song. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS-NsEk_jd0

Editor's Note: It's a favorite of many, especially most GoAnimate fans.

Final Note: On May 6, 2018, GoAnimate was renamed to Vyond, but it still used as a outro until early-mid 2020. However, it's still remains as "GoAnimate, Inc.". Unfortunately, Vyond outro was returned for a short time in 2019, but it stopped used later in 2019.
