stark, simplistic black, white and red logos replaced with blue, as well as the introduction of giggling, blob-like mascots that populate the advertisement bumpers and channel idents. Merger with Cartoon Network Too On 2 May 2007, Turner announced that Toonami would cease operations on 24 May 2007 and its EPG slot would be taken over by Cartoon Network Too. This was to allow a full-time Cartoonito channel to launch in Cartoon Network Too's original slot on Sky.

The idents on Toonami which aired between shows during the power cut displayed the message "Sorry! Toonami is broken, we'll be right back as soon as we fix it.". These idents have
