Background

Those Characters from Cleveland, LLC is an American company that was founded by Greeting Cards manufacturer American Greetings in the 1980s to control the IP for Strawberry Shortcake and Holly Hobbie, and eventually expanded to include several more IPs including the Care Bears, The Get Along Gang, Popples, among others.

1st Logo (2003-February 28, 2009)

Logo: We see the American Greetings logo with the words "AMERICAN GREETINGS" in the company font in black and is on a white background.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appears on the DIC Entertainment Strawberry Shortcake series and on Sushi Pack as well.

2nd Logo (2004)

Logo: We see the American Greetings logo with the company name between the rose logo and the slogan "...says it best®" on a blue background with a rounded rainbow box and copyright information below. The rose logo spins a few times.

Technique: Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Care Bears: Care-a-Lot Jamboree, Care Bears: Catch-a-Star and Care Bears: Have a Ball! for PC and Mac.

3rd Logo (2005)


Logo: We see the American Greetings logo with the words "AMERICAN GREETINGS" in the company font in white and in a black background. The flower twists and spins, as if it was dancing and then it stops dancing. Then the logo shines before fading.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Strawberry Shortcake: Strawberryland Games for Nintendo DS.

4th Logo (2009-2016)


Logo: On a white background, we see "AMERICAN GREETINGS" in its corporate font at the bottom, without the "I" in "GREETINGS". A red person clad in a cape spins around to us as the cape floats upwards, on top of the text, and has the "I" as if it were a magic wand. He winks, waves it, and then spins around. He transforms into the American Greetings rose logo as the "I" falls into place.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A four-note chiptune tune, followed by a boing sound.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • Sometimes, the end theme plays over it or none.
  • On Maryoku Yummy, high-pitched ascending sparkles are heard, followed by four crystallized notes. This is actually based on a musical cue that plays when the wishes disappear and get granted.

Availability: Seen on The Twisted Whiskers Show, Maryoku Yummy, Packages from Planet X, Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot, and Care Bears & Cousins.
