•

Visuals: On a yellow background, there is a 3D, stylized, and blue kid smiling as he lets go of a white and blue balloon with a red ribbon. When the white text "itsy bitsy" in a stacked format fades in within the kid's body, he grows more excited as he bounces around and watches the balloon flying around and eventually, resting by him. Simultaneously, when the balloon returns on-screen from the right, the blue word "Entertainment" scrolls underneath the kid. Finally, a trademark symbol fades in next to "Entertainment".

Variant: An in-credit variant exists.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A whimsical and childish flute that descends for half of the logo and then ends with two rising notes.

Availability:

• The only known show to have this logo is Nini's Treehouse, which is long gone from television and is barely preserved on home media.
• However, the standard variant can be seen on some VHS releases like Nini's Treehouse: Ooberry Alphabet Zoo and generally, was seen on GMTV and Discovery Kids broadcasts of said show.
• The in-credit variant was also seen on season 3 and 4 of the aforementioned series as well.
