1st Tag (1995-2007)

Opening variant
4x3 closing variant
16x9 closing variant

Visuals:

Opening: On a black background with a spotlight, the Calbee logo, which is the red word "Calbee", slides in from the left of the screen and stops in the center, with a shadow before the logo.
Closing: Over a white background, the logo starts with the Calbee logo. After a couple of seconds, both "e"s jump.

Variants:

At the end of some commercials, the "e"s jump slower.
On 16x9 commercials, the closing variant's background is horizontally stretched to fit the aspect ratio. The Calbee logo is also flat and in a darker shade of red, and further away from the screen.

Technique: CGI or (in the case of the 16x9 version) 2D animation.

Audio:

Opening: Just a whistling sound.
Closing: A female choir singing "Calbeeee..." and 2 drum beats.

Availability: Seen on commercials from the time such as "The Calbee Dog". The opening variant appeared at the beginning of commericals until at least 1998.

2nd Tag (2007-2016)

Visuals: On a white background, "掘りだそう、自然の力。" in brown folds in. It moves up, leaving room for the Calbee logo, which folds in.

Audio Variant: A two-note guitar theme plays on Calbee commercials from 2007 to 2010.
