Halibut Briefly Reviews SB Title Cards

[Popeyes Haunted Barnacles]

Yeah.....title cards weren't really this season's greatest strength.

 

[MadFred]

I agree with all of your opinions so far.

My guess for your favorite title card from each season:
Season 1

(Everyone love this one)
Season 2
(Beautiful, unique font that is related to the episode itself+blue, your favorite color)
Season 3
(You said that it's your favorite title card not a long time ago)
Season 4
(I thought about Fear of a Krabby Patty as a possible nominee, but the colors in this one are much more pleasant to the eye)






..
Okay, The rest are hard.
But am I right so far?

To be honest, I'm crossing the bridges when I come to them, so I don't know yet.

 

[SpongeyKid]

This is a very crazy and unique idea. I'll follow :)

 

[Amphitrite]

Ooh, this sounds interesting. I'll follow. And, your reviews are agreeable. Of course, season 1 was the season with the most outdated animation and artwork, so that explains why you're giving them low ratings.

Font: Like always, the font is bland and not very interesting whatsoever. +1
Color: The color with the light blue and purple along with black looks pretty nice. +3
Background: The dark background has smooth lines that makes it look good while not entirely interesting. +2
Uniqueness: Considering 4 other title cards following this one will look exactly the same, this title card is only unique in the respect of being the first one of the kind. +2

Final Score: 8 points The title card looks nice despite following ones that are exactly the same later on. D

Font: The background is large and looks relatively organized. +2
Color: My 2 favorite colors mixed together makes something quite pleasing to my eyes at least. +3
Background: The background is the usual "stock pattern" that has nothing special, but the dark tone is nice. +2
Uniqueness: While the card is pleasing to the eye, it's not unique in really any way at all. +1

Final Score: 8 points The title card has some great colors, but the usual season 1 lack of originality in the card. D

Font: The font is very boring and normal with no outstandingness. +1
Color: The orange and the light blue doesn't look like the best in my opinion, but it's at least complimentary. +2
Background: The light flowers and tiki heads is very, very boring. +1
Uniqueness: The tiki heads is nice, but that's the farthest I can go with it. +2

Final Score: 6 points The title card is VERY boring and not interesting at the slightest. F

Font: The font doesn't look amazing, but the way it's assembled is strangely charming. +2
Color: The blue background and orange text is very pleasing on the eyes and complimentary. +4
Background: The dark blue with jellyfish is nice and charming. +3
Uniqueness: The uniqueness is lower because of the carbon copy of Jellyfishing, but the jellyfish are still a nice touch. +2

Final Score: 11 points One of the better title card of the season, it's very charming even if it's a copy of Jellyfishing. D

Font: The surprisingly unique font on this title card, while a font that is usually used, looks amazing in the way it's assembled on the title card. +4
Color: The yellow upon red looks very "extreme" looking and fits well with the episode. +3
Background: The background is a basic background, but it still compliments well. +2
Uniqueness: The font is very unique prior to other fonts, but that's sadly it. +2

Final Score: 11 points The font on this title card is a very large highlight for sure. D

Font: The font isn't as used as others, but that doesn't make up for it being simplisticly ugly. +2
Color: The green and red usually works well, but the overall dullness of the scheme isn't great. +2
Background: The background is rare, but it is sadly VERY ugly nevertheless. +1
Uniqueness: The overall title card is the ultra-typical title card that's panned around season 1. +1

Final Score: 6 points Sadly, this title card, especially, the color scheme, is very very ugly and is spoiled milk for your eyes. F

Font: Honestly, the font is jumbled and usual, despite the nice color. +1
Color: The very bright color scheme, unlike the one in Pizza Delivery, is extremely pleasant to the eyes. +4
Background: The background is innocent and light in a good way, once again, unlike Pizza Delivery. +3
Uniqueness: The title card may be very bright, but it's not the outstandingly unique title card. +2

Final Score: 10 points The colors may be wonderfully bright, but the innocence of the title card doesn't excuse it being a tad boring. D

Font: The text is very dull, and the fact that it's plain black doesn't help manners. +1
Color: Plain black among painfully ugly white, yellow, and dull orange/brown is extremely hard to look at. +1
Background: The background is super basic and nothing fun at all. +1
Uniqueness: This title card isn't unique at all, and it isn't interesting in any way. +1

Final Score: 4 points This title card is the epitome of ugly title cards. Its extremely ugly font and colors make it one of the worst ever. F

Font: The font is surprisingly unique, but still a tad boring despite that. +2
Color: Like Sandy's Rocket, the yellow on red looks very eye-pleasing. +3
Background: The background is basic and nothing special, but the tikis are a bit 'odd.' +2
Uniqueness: While pleasing on the eye, the title card is hardly unique. +1

Final Score: 8 points Despite the lack of uniqueness whatsoever, this title card is still pretty pleasing on the eyes. D

Font: The font isn't anything special, but the largeness and the contrast to the background really catches your eye in a good way. +3
Color: The light green/blue/light green among the plain black background shouldn't look awesome, but the high amount of contrast really does. +3
Background: The pitch black background sadly is very plain, but is still in good contrast. +2
Uniqueness: While the black background is very plain, it's very unique compared to the jumbles of crap that a lot of the season 1 title cards are. +3

Final Score: 11 points The high contrast makes this title card drastically different from others of the season, and that's for the best. D

[MadFred]

So far, I only disagree with Opposite Day. I think that the color should get a big higher rating- It's not any of my favorite colors, but it's an interesting dark mix.

Besides that, though, I agree with pretty much anything. Can't wait for the next one!

 

[BlueberryFieldsForever]

I highly disagree with:
Help Wanted
Boating School
Jellyfish Jam
F. U. N.
Mermaidman and Barnacleboy
Pizza Delivery

Should be higher


opinion only :)


Bubblestand should be higher too.

 

[SpongyDevotee]

I LOVE this topic so much! It is such a great idea! I'm definitely following and continuing reading all of your title card reviews! :)

I think the only one I disagree with is Ripped Pants, as I think it's looks pretty eye-pleasing, and shouldn't get an F. But that's ok.

 

[SpongeyKid]

Yeah...... Season 1 doesn't have the best title cards around :P

 

[MadFred]

When's the next one? I can't wait for your review on Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost, SB-129 and Suds.

 

[Sweat]

When's the next one? I can't wait for your review on Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost, SB-129 and Suds.

Please be patient. My next installment will be on the weekend so I have more time to do it.

 

[SpongyDevotee]

Please be patient. My next installment will be on the weekend so I have more time to do it.

Which weekend? Sorry, but I really love these reviews.

 

[Kerststol]

Man, I can't wait for this one...

 

[Sweat]

Font: The font is absolutely nothing special. +1
Color: The ugly brown and unusual purple makes this appalling to look at. +1
Background: It may be ugly, but the weights are a nice touch. +2
Uniqueness: The weights make it quite unique, but otherwise, not much. +3

Final Score: 7 points This title card may be somewhat unique, but it's amazingly ugly. F

Font: The font's placement is nicely organized, but that's it. +2
Color: The ghostly green, black, and blue make a very wonderful color combination. +4
Background: The background's darkness and spookiness are very nice. +3
Uniqueness: Once again, the darkness of the logo makes it look quite cool. +2

Final Score: 11 points The darkness is very cool, but the logo isn't spectacular on its own. D

Font: The font is sloppy, grossly bright yellow, and a painful mess. +1
Color: The yellow may be nauseating, but the bright blue is very nice. +3
Background: The background is literally just a bright blue background with darker blue lines. +1
Uniqueness: There really is nothing unique about this title card other than the bubbles. +2

Final Score: 7 points Horrible yellow and no lack of uniqueness makes this a really bad title card. F

Font: Once again, the font is a real thumbs-down. +1
Color: I think you guys already know my love for yellow, blue, and purple. +4
Background: The Krabby Patties are quite cool, but nothing spectacular. +2

Font: The yellow outline on the font and the fact that it's diagonal is quite nice. +3
Color: The color scheme of cool and warm colors is quietly complimentary. +3
Background: The tiki heads make this background honestly sort of ugly. +2
Uniqueness: Other than the tiki heads and diagonal font, this title card isn't particularly unique. +2

Final Score: 10 points The tiki heads are ugly, but the rest of the title card is quite good. D

Font: The reflection and basicness make the font very, very cool. +4
Color: The chrome style with the black and purple essence of outer space are extremely complimentary. +4
Background: The outer space style looks way more than cool. +4
Uniqueness: This title card is so unique, there's a robot voice SAYING the title card with the music. +5

Final Score: 17 points With a season full of bad title cards, this is one of the best of the whole series for sure. B

Font: The font is once again the generic screwed up font of season 1. +1
Color: I find the title card being all cool colors very nice. +3
Background: The cut up bamboo is a really nice touch. +3
Uniqueness: Overall, the title card looks really intense. +3

Final Score: 10 points This title card looks very intense and fits the episode well. D

Font: The font is generic, but at least it looks relaxing. +2
Color: Unlike Karate Choppers, this title card has a good composition of cool colors. +4
Background: The background is very generic, even though I do like the darkness. +2
Uniqueness: Other than the darkness, this title card isn't super special. +2

Final Score: 10 points The relaxing nighttime feel of the title card makes a very likeable one. D

Font: The bubble fond is an extremely welcoming change. I really like it. +3
Color: The composition of color honestly isn't great. +1
Background: The small circles that represent bubbles are nice touch. +2
Uniqueness: The concept of bubbles in the title card is very playful. +3

[SpongeRoadie UK]

I actually like bland title cards with regular fonts. Keeps everything in rigid shape.

 

[MadFred]

It looks like the title cards are just getting better and better!

The next one will have title cards like Arrgh!, Neptune's Spatula and Hooky, so I can't wait.

 

[The Guy With the Computer]

I'm definitely following.
