Background

Treehouse TV was launched in 1994 as a YTV's morning block. It would later become a full-time 24-hour children's programming network three years later on November 1, 1997. It usually airs programs from Nick Jr. and Cartoonito. It also airs original programming.

1st ID (1997-2005)

Logo Variants:

• Blooming:
• Shrinking:
• Osbert Plunky's House:
• Losing Houses:

Technique: All CGI.

Music/Sounds: Various sound effects, accompanied by a cheerful tune. All of the idents feature the iconic Treehouse TV jingle (a chorus of children singing "You're watching Treehouse!") at the end.

Availability: Extinct. The idents played regularly during Treehouse TV programming between November 1997 and September 2005. They returned sometime after for a short period.

2nd ID (1998-2010)

Logo Variants:

• Playtime: A village (Treetown from its self-titled TV series in question) is shown with various CGI objects and live-action children. A dragonfly transitions the scene to the Treehouse logo and model seen in the 1997 Blooming ident.
• Clock Tower & Bird: The clock tower appears. A CGI bird flies from it into the sky. Various copies are temporarily shown with the main one, until we transition to the Treehouse logo in the window.
• Bug to Window: A CGI ladybug, after making a close-up on the camera, is spotted by three children. We then transition back to the window with the Treehouse logo and model seen in the 1997 Shrinking ident.
• Hula Hoop & Bubbles: Two children spin around with hula hoops above their heads with bubbles on display, making a CGI fish go through one of the hoops. We then transition to the Treehouse logo and model in the window, which was seen in the 1997 Blooming ident.

Technique: A mix of live-action and CGI.

Music/Sounds: All of the idents feature a shortened version of the last logos' theme. The version in question was originally taken from the Blooming ident from 1997, while other variants had different versions of the theme.

Availability: Extinct. The idents played regularly during Treehouse TV programming between sometime in 1998 and December 2010.

3rd ID (2004-2013)

Logo Variants:

• Welcome:
• Caterpillar:
• Rainbow: We pan down from a rainbow, which on the grass of the village, the Treehouse logo pops out of it. A portion of this was also used for the 2007 Treehouse Originals logo.
• Ladybug:
• Frog:
• Butterfly:

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: These idents featured new and re-recorded versions of the iconic Treehouse TV jingle:

• The Welcome and Caterpillar versions used slow variants.
• The Frog and Butterfly versions used slightly faster ones.
• The Rainbow and Ladybug versions used quick variants of the jingle.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The music used here would be reused for the next set of idents.

Availability: Extinct. The idents played regularly during Treehouse TV programming between September 2004 and April 2013.
