=== Calling For Help (September 6, 2004-2009)===
'''Editor's Note:''' This logo is known to have scared a few people due to the music and the exploding dot effect. Nonetheless, this is a favorite of many due to its dreamy music and atmosphere and colorful aesthetics, and for those who watched Barney and Friends in their childhood.
