Background

In 2007, Yoram Gross/EM.TV was renamed "Flying Bark Productions" after EM.TV Television closed down. The Yoram Gross/EM.TV library was sold to Studio 100 in 2008; that same year, they acquired Flying Bark as well after EM.TV changed its name to EM.Sport Media AG.

In 2012, Flying Bark formed a multi-year production deal with Studio 100, which would distribute their films under the Studio 100 Animation label, with Flying Bark aiming to release a film every two years. As of 2014, after the theatrical release of Maya the Bee: The Movie (based on the Maya the Bee CGI series and the book of the same name), Flying Bark is the only high-end animation studio in Australia, producing animated series for ABC3, Seven Network and ABC Kids, as well as for television and streaming services.

1st Logo (October 15, 2006-2021)

Visuals: Over a blue backdrop, there is a distorted rectangle with a dog with a propeller tail on him, with the EM.TV logo in a red square next to it. He barks and the word "BARK" floats out of his mouth and lands next to him, as the text "FLYING" and "PRODUCTIONS" (or "DISTRIBUTION") fades in around it.

Bylines:

October 15, 2006-2008: Just the EM.TV logo.
2008-: "A STUDIO100 COMPANY" (with "STUDIO100" in the Bank Gothic MD BT font).

Variants:

The animated distribution variant appears before the opening, while the production logo is still and shown in the closing credits.
Sometimes, the logo shares its' screen with other production logos.

Technique: Flash animation or none.

Audio: The dog barking. For the closing version, it's the end theme of the show.

(a co-production with Mike Young Productions), Oh Yuck!, and several other shows, and even films, such as Santa's Apprentice (a co-production with Gaumont-Alphanim).

2nd Logo (December 19, 2022-)

Visuals: On a white background is an updated version of the logo, with the barking dog with a propeller tail on him and now has a notch. Next to him are the words "FLYING BARK" with "PRODUCTIONS" in grey.

 ===Background===
+In 2007, [[Yoram Gross/EM.TV]] was renamed "'''Flying Bark Productions'''" after [[Sport1 Medien AG|EM.TV Television]] closed down. The Yoram Gross/EM.TV library was sold to [[Studio 100]] in 2008; that same year, they acquired Flying Bark as well after EM.TV changed its name to EM.Sport Media AG.
-'''Flying Bark Productions''' was founded in 1962 in Israel by Yoram Gross as "'''Yoram Gross Films'''". In 1968, it moved to Australia, where it made ''Dot and the Kangaroo''. The film was such a hit that eight more sequels followed. The studio became famous upon the success of franchises such as ''Dot'', ''Blinky Bill'' and ''Tabaluga''.
+In 2012, Flying Bark formed a multi-year production deal with Studio 100, which would distribute their films under the Studio 100 Animation label, with Flying Bark aiming to release a film every two years. As of 2014, after the theatrical release of ''Maya the Bee: The Movie'' (based on the ''Maya the Bee'' CGI series and the book of the same name), Flying Bark is the only high-end animation studio in Australia, producing animated series for [[ABC3]], [[Seven Network]] and [[ABC Kids]], as well as for television and streaming services.
-After season 2 of ''Blinky Bill'', [[Village Roadshow Pictures|Village Roadshow]] purchased Gross' animation studio in 1996 under the new name of '''Yoram Gross Village Roadshow'''. Two years later, it teamed up with [[Sport1 Medien AG|EM.TV Television]] to distribute its shows around the world after a buyout from Village Roadshow. In 2007, when EM.TV Television closed down, the company was renamed "Flying Bark Productions". The Yoram Gross/EM.TV library was sold to [[Studio 100]] in 2008; that same year, they acquired Flying Bark as well after EM.TV changed its name to EM.Sport Media AG.
