70/30 Productions was an animation production house located in Atlanta, Georgia. They are the creators of Sealab 2021 , Frisky Dingo , and the latter's spin-off series The Xtacles for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

70/30 was founded by Matt Thompson and Adam Reed. The company's name came from the plan that Thompson would do 70% of the producing and 30% of the writing, with Reed doing the reverse. [1] The logo contains a stylized green car made out of the numbers "70" and "30".

In early January 2009, the production company announced they were closing their doors. [2]
