Background

Wonderland Sound and Vision is the vanity plate of writer and director Joseph McGinty Nichol (known professionally as McG).

1st Logo (September 18, 2002-December 27, 2013)

Logo: On a red and black gradient background, we see a large, 3-dimensional "W" with lights inside of it to make it resemble a font seen on scoreboards. On the letter, we see a 3-dimensional ribbon (similar to the 1998 Warner Bros. Pictures logo) engraved with the word "WONDERLAND". Below the "W" is the text "SOUND AND VISION" in a small, black, 3-dimensional font with gold shadowing.

Variant: On Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series, the logo is squished to 4:3.

FX/SFX: The shining of the logo.

Music/Sounds:

  • The ending of the show's theme song.
  • On Human Target, it had a loud buzzing sound and a crash.
  • On Nikita, the last part of the Supernatural ending theme is playing.

Availability: Seen on the first eight seasons of Supernatural, The O.C., Human Target, Chuck, Nikita, Fastlane, Aim High, and The Mountain. It can be seen on home media releases and television broadcasts of each of the programs. It can also be seen on Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (July 21, 2015-May 6, 2019)

Logo: On a white background, we see the "W" from the previous logo, except it's in 2D, "SOUND AND VISION" is removed, the "W" is orange, and the outlines and "WONDERLAND" are black. The logo slowly zooms in.

Variants:

  • On Before We Go, the logo is on a black background with some part of white color near the logo, and "SOUND AND VISION" is under the logo.
  • On I Feel Pretty, the logo almost takes up the entire screen.
  • On Shadowhunters, the logo is next to the Carteret St. Productions logo.

FX/SFX: The zooming.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme.

Availability: Uncommon. It appears on When We First Met, The Babysitter, Before We Go, Shadowhunters, and I Feel Pretty. Don't expect for this to appear on The Mysteries of Laura or later episodes of Supernatural, though.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (May 24, 2019-)

Logo: On a black background, an orange spotlight appears, then followed by a neon orange outline of the letter W. The lights (in the same color as the W) near it turn on, and then, "WONDERLAND" in a three-dimensional ribbon appears. The result is the first logo, but without "SOUND AND VISION".

Variants:

  • On Holidaze and Love Hard, the logo is red and green colored.

FX/SFX: The lights turning on. Simple but good CGI.

Music/Sounds: Four buzzing sounds in sync with the animation.

Availability: Common. It appears on Rim of the World, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Holidaze, and Love Hard. Like the previous logo, it does not appear on later episodes of Supernatural.

Editor's Note: None.
