Logo history

Main

In the 1994-2004 logo, Moon Child throws the hook into the waters from the moon.

In the 2004-2010 logo, Moon Child is being risen to the sky by balloons until he reaches the moon, where he sits down to take out his fishing rod and releases the balloons to let them continue to rise, until they burst into a logo reading "DreamWorks" at the same altitude.

In the 2010-2018 logo, Moon Child appears with a fishing rod after the full moon transits into a crescent, and flings the fishing rod around the moon to clear the clouds below and make way for the "DreamWorks" logo.

In the 2018-2022 logo, Moon Child appears after when the sky turns dark and when the moon appears.

In the 2022- logo, Moon Child steers the moon through the night sky, and encounters characters from various DreamWorks franchises, in order, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha and Ms. Tarantula from The Bad Guys franchise driving on a planet, a constellation turning into Toothless and Hiccup from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, Po and Theodore Templeton respectively from the Kung Fu Panda and The Boss Baby franchises, a portal with the face of Poppy from the Trolls franchise on it which teleports him to the surface, and Shrek, Donkey and Fiona from the Shrek franchise waving at him just before he ascends. A variation is being introduced in 2023 in which the characters on the floating island are being changed to Alex and Marty from the Madagascar franchise and Eep from the The Croods franchise. The character on the portal, which this time appears to be opened up from another constellation, is also changed to Puss from the Shrek franchise.

Gags

In Bee Movie, while Moon Child tries to get rid of Barry, the latter stings him, causing him to lose grip of the balloons and fall onto the top of the moon crescent on his hips then the bottom of the crescent on his forehead. While Moon Child continues to fall, Barry takes his place to sit on the crescent.

In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, everything goes normal until when a penguin slaps and beats Moon Child up, with the penguin quartet appearing on screen immediately after, in which Skipper uses Moon Child's fishing rod to pull up a fish. The logo with the penguin quartet would later appear in Penguins of Madagascar, where it again displaces the logo with Moon Child which appears briefly.

In Monsters Vs. Aliens and Home, Moon Child gets abducted by a UFO.

In The Croods, Moon Child is shown as a cave drawing but is not longer wiped off from the cave walls by the torch flame.

In The Boss Baby, Moon Child appears as one of the hangers on the musical cot mobile.
