TVOKids (Canada)
Background: TBA.
1st logo (2009-Late 2016)
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:
- Most of it's well-produced shows in the company have the old then-current said company's logo superimposed on the credits and still.
- 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.
- On some of the company's shows, an OECA copyright notice appears at the bottom of the logo on these latter backgrounds, either in also black or white.
- On first 3 episodes of Finding Stuff Out, the then-current TVOKids mascot logo is also superimposed over the credits and is still as well, but placed in the middle of the screen during the end credit sequence which appears considerly to be a song playing over it, depending on the latter show's episode.
Fsfx: 3D Computer animation.
Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.
Availability: The long version appears on shows such as Look Kool and Seasons 1-3 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 2016-)
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 and current TVOKids logo is used at this time, but "tvo" is now all lowercased (in a typewrited font (in red)) 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):
- Most of the company's TV shows have this logo superimposed in-credit during the end credits.
- 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 in black is seen below the logo, also on a white background and so far are the only three shows that aren't superimposed in the credits, only to name some.
- On Season 4-present episodes of Finding Stuff Out and The Wacky Word Show (two of those from Apartment 11 Productions's best-nominated produced shows), the new and current 2016 TVOKids logo has a white text shadow silhouette inside it in front of the text, "tvokids", placed either in the middle or sometimes at the middle bottom (for some episodes only in one of the said shows seen above). Plus the logo's text letters is also going across but unstacked and is superimposed during the end credit sequences, depending on the episode on both of these shows.
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 4 and post Season 4 episodes 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 other newer TV programs from the company. The version with the white background and copyright info can be seen on episodes of The Space/GBB/BBN minishorts. Please do not expect to see this logo on newest seasons and episodes of My Home My Life, Science Max: Experiments at Large, Math Explosions, What's the Big Idea?, as well as The Wacky Word Show, Pet Superstars, Big Top Academy, Waffle the Wonder Dog, Giver, Super Mighty Makers and Raven's Quest. For the company's newest and upcoming shows, also don't expect to see this logo on the animated miniseries Numberblocks and Little Malabar, nor could supposedly will also be seen on future content series of shows from the TV company.
Editor's Note: Perhaps the most well-known logo on the internet, due to various users uploading many things that didn't happen in this logo, and calling these 'TVOKids Logo Bloopers".
