1st Logo (1997-Late 2001)

Logo: A white flash reveals the word "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|blue|{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Arial|TELEVISION}}}}" moving towards the left, over a black background. A light flare follows the text as it slowly dissipates. Suddenly, a {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|red}} stamp rapidly zooms onto the screen, reading "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Red|{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Arial|IMPOSSIBLE}}}}". The background turns white, and "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|blue|{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Arial|TELEVISION}}}}" reappears below.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen at the end of the pilot/Christmas special from Audrey and Friends.

Logo: A vertical white line fades in and gets smaller in size. As that happens, "impossible" and "tv" blur in on the respective sides of the line.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen at the end of MechaNick.

3rd Logo (2005-2013)
