Sign off IDs

Background[]

Sign-off IDs are when television channels conclude their broadcasting schedule for the day. Most TV channels who sign-off usually do it around the start of the watershed (times where content deemed suitable to viewers 17 and over is permitted), but Adult Swim, as of the current schedule, signs off at 6 o'clock, around dawn.

Exit (2001-2003)[]

The Exit ID is the first sign-off ID of Adult Swim. We see a shot of elderly exiting a pool, with another shot of an exit sign. Used from September 2, 2001-January 5, 2003.

Action (2002-2003)[]

TBA. Seen on Adult Swim Action.

First Aid (2003)[]

It shows a photographic film of various adult swim characters imitating life guard tips. It ends with the adult swim logo, followed by the Cartoon Network logo, and then the adult swim website at the bottom. Used from January 13-May 21, 2003.

Featured Music (2003-2004)[]

A list of music Adult Swim used that night would be shown before Cartoon Network signed back on. From May 26, 2003-April 2004 they listed the music in front of a black screen. Starting April 2004, they listed the music in front of a background instead. This was used until December 2004.

Adult Swim Is Your Friend (2004-2010)[]

The ID showcased black and white tints with pictures of Space Ghost that read "Adult Swim Is Your Friend." On January 29, 2006, a blue tint was added, retiring the black tint, and was shortened. The ID was made widescreen in 2009-2010, and officially retired on December 26, 2010.

The Dawn Is Your Enemy (2005-2010, 2021)[]

The ID showcases a disturbing sign-off, showing worried eyes in the sky; the moon is also seen with eyes. The bump was shown as a deterrent for kids who stayed up late intentionally. The ID was shown from March 29, 2005-January 31, 2010, but the ID soon made a comeback on September 2021 during Adult Swim's 20th anniversary. Before 2021, it made it to a May 2020 bumper, jokingly called "The Dawn Is Your Frenemy", with some upbeat music and red balloons floating. The text after read "Not sure it's working".

Last Chance Saloon (2007-2008)[]

TBA. Seen before the Fall or Noods sign on.

2010-2014 sign offs[]

America (2014)[]

Various shots of popular United States monuments were shown with the National Anthem (synth version) playing in the background. Shots include a field of wheat, the Golden Gate Bridge, several American flags in front of the Washington monument, horses racing, jets flying in the sky, Mount Rushmore, a bald eagle flying, a city shown from a bridge, and the Statue of Liberty. Finally an American flag is shown waving in the air with the words "Thank you for watching [adult swim]" at the bottom right. Shown from July 29-August 31, 2014.

At the end the announcer says "This concludes our broadcast day, thanks for watching [adult swim]."

Williams Street (2014-2019)[]

Shots of the Turner's property in Atlanta, Georgia were shown in a timelapse. Different shots were used starting in the daytime, until the evening, and eventually nighttime. At the end, a billboard of Turner's Broadcasting System was shown with the word [as] on it, before showing the statue of the owl, and a black screen saying [adult swim]. The same music played as the America sign off, although from March 29-May 11, 2019 different music played. Shown from September 1, 2014-May 11, 2019.

At the end the announcer says "This concludes our broadcast day, thanks for watching [adult swim]."
