1st logo (2009-Late 2015)

Nickname(s): "The Boy with the sign"

On a white or black background, or during the end credits to the show, a red person, that would be the TvoKids mascot at the time, walks from the right corner of the screen holding a red sign. The person stops in the middle of the screen, turns and faces the viewer, then lifts the sign in the air. As helifts the sign in the air, the words Tvo and kids form on the sign.

Variants:

  • Sometimes the logo would be shortened to the point where it starts when the person holds up the sign.
  • On Ella The Elephant (Disney Junior airings don't have that logo), the logo is still and it's superimposed.

Fsfx: 3D Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: The long version appears on shows such as Look Kool and Season 1 of Finding Stuff Out, and the short version appears on Dino Dan (US airings of this show on Nick does not have that logo) and some other shows.

Editor's Note: This is a fun, memorable logo for those that grew up watching Dino Dan, plus many other TVOKids shows from the past.

2nd Logo (Late 2015-)

Nickname(s): "tvokids", "The "kids"'s Funny Actions", "The Gibberish Logo".

Logo: On a white background or either whatever superimposed on the show's end credit, the new TVOKids logo is used at this time, but "tvo" is now all lowercased and this time in rainbow colors, and "kids", in a gibberish font, with googly eyes, also in rainbow colors as well, therefore that represent the theme colors of TVO's subdivisary and sister channel itself.

Variant(s):

  • At the end of some shows from the company, The logo may can sometimes be stacked instead of going across.
  • On The Space, Gisele's Big Backyard, and Big Backyard News shorts, a copyright notice for OECA is seen below the logo, also on a white background and is not superimposed at all.

SFX: The "kids" bouncing and moving; cheap animation done for good looking stop motion.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the series.

Music/Sounds Variant(s):

  • The station ID version only has it's own type of music: "k", "i", "d", and "s" all dancing and making funny noises, along with a young person laughing or giggling at the end. An 8 note, light synth electronic tune can also be heard during the laugh.

Availlablity: The superimposed variant can be seen at the end of Season 2 of Finding Stuff Out, newer seasons and episodes of Odd Squad (PBS airings don't have that logo), Dino Dana (a spinoff to Dino Dan (Amazon Prime airings replaces the Amazon Studios logo instead of the said TV network's logo)), plus many others from the company. The version with the white background and copyright info can be seen on episodes of The Space/GBB/BBN minishorts.
