young detectives Logos and Brands
Franchises about young detectives solving mysteries and uncovering crimes define the “Young Detectives” section. Nancy Drew (since 1930), The Hardy Boys (since 1927), Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Incorporated gang (since 1969), and the Detective Conan series (Case Closed, since 1994) created the archetype of the teenage detective in literature and animation. Enid Blyton added British classics with The Famous Five and The Secret Seven. The logos in this section belong to book series, animated series, and film franchises where the curiosity and wit of young heroes solve mysteries, and the “kid detective” genre has remained one of the most enduring formats for children’s and teen content for almost a century.
