Background

Brighter Child Interactive was the children's educational software division of Brighter Minds Media, Inc. that mainly develops games for children aged three to eight.

Logo (1997-2006)

Visuals: On a black background, a gold, stylized child stick figure is in between "BRIGHTER" and "CHILD". Both have a dark shadow on the bottom left. Four small light rays appear over the child's head. Following this, the text briefly flashes and turns gold. Underneath it, the text:

fade in.

Variants:

An early variant exists without the website link. The glitter sound is synced to when the text lights up.
On Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games, the logo is on a white background and a byline was added, reading "learning through exploration" in a hand drawn font.
A later version of this logo has the child standing next to the text in a stacked format.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Four descending dings when the light rays appear, followed by light buzz and then a glitter sound.

Availability: It can be seen on most of their games, first appearing on the Muppet Kids PC games. This later appeared on various games from the Caillou, Zoboomafoo, and Jay Jay the Jet Plane franchises including Caillou: Magic Playhouse, Caillou: Four Seasons of Fun, Jay Jay the Jet Plane: Jay Jay Earns His Wings, and Zoboomafoo: Creature Quest for the PC and Zoboomafoo: Playtime in Zabooland for Game Boy Color.
