(December 18, 1994-August 6, 2002)

Logo: On a black/gray gradient background, we see a red rectangle with the word "HYPERION" in gold, and with a dot inside the "O". Sometimes, it has a plain black background.

Variant: On the 1998 movie, Playing By Heart, the logo is on a black/blue gradient background, the rectangle is in dark red, and the text is in silver.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None, or the closing theme of the show/movie.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen at the end of all three The Brave Little Toaster movies, but only on VHS releases. The DVD and early VHS versions of The Brave Little Toaster doesn't have the logo at all at the end since the logo didn't exist at the time it's release. Also seen on the 2002 direct-to-video animated film The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina. Some TV series, such as Bone Chillers, Life With Louie (without background light) and Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child, also have this logo. Surprisingly, this was seen at the end of the 1998 movie Playing By Heart.

Editor's Note: None.
