Background

1st Logo (Early 2000's-present)

Logo: We start with sped-up footage from the view of a stage of a crowd leaving an amphitheater where a live show is being held, with the English and French Just For Laughs logos displayed on the floor. Once the theater is almost empty, the Just For Laughs mascot (Victor, a stubby green monster with red horns) runs onto screen, noticing everyone leaving. He gasps and turns a bit, saying ''MOMMY, IT'S OOOVER!'' in a sad voice as the curtains close on him and the Just For Laughs logo comes in on a spotlight and stops in the middle of the screen. A byline reading ''© [YEAR] Juste pour rire les gags Inc.''

Variants:

Depending on the program or language it is in, the words at the end are in French: Juste Pour Rire.
Later on, the logo started with a lime green background with the monster popping up as the English and French logos for Just For Laughs pop up next to him. Also seen are the url ''hahaha.com'' and the words ''FESTIVAL LIVE SHOWS TELEVISION'' being revealed below. The word ''TELEVISION'' becomes red. The normal logo would play right after.

FX/SFX: Live-action footage and 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A short piano ditty that stops when Victor comes on screen, his dialogue, and another ditty as the curtains drop.

Availability: Common in Canada, seen on many older shows from the company, like Just For Laughs Gags and some stand-up comedy shows.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2010's-)

Logo: In a grayscale city, some green and red streaks fly through a set of skyscrapers. They meet and move into a neon billboard that lights up, containing the Just For Laughs logo in a green box with the horns of Victor from before. A byline reading ''© [YEAR] JUSTE POUR RIRE TV INC.'' may appear below.

Variants:

A version appears at the start of programs where ''Presents'' in a white script font appears under the logo.

FX/SFX: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Some whooshes and the sounds of streetcars as the streaks fly, and the buzzing sound of a neon sign lighting as a crowd laughs.

Availability: Common in Canada, seen on programs like Just For Laughs: All Access.

Editor's Note: None.
