1st Logo (February 1, 1999-April 1, 2000)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a yellow crudely-drawn cup sitting on a saucer, with four orange lines emanating from the top. Next to it we see the words "CUPPA COFFEE" in orange, with "ANIMATION" below in a small orange-outlined oval.

Variants:

• On the 1999 TV special Snowden's Christmas, the cup and saucer are now in a yellow outline, and cast a shadow. "CUPPA COFFEE" is in white and stacked below the cup, and "ANIMATION" is black in a yellow oval.
• On the 1999 pilot for Super Why, the variant from Snowden's Christmas is in black-and-white over a yellow background.

Technique: None.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

3rd Logo (August 17, 2009-November 7, 2011)
