Background

Itsy Bitsy Entertainment (formerly known as The Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Company and Kenn Viselman Presents) is a children's production company that was founded in 1995 by Kenn Viselman in his NYC apartment. They are best known for its involvement in shows such as Teletubbies and 64 Zoo Lane. In 2001, The Handelman Company took control of the company. The Itsy Bitsy name was revived on September 25, 2020 by Kenn Viselman and UTA replacing Kenn Viselman Presents.

The Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Company

1st Logo (September 6, 1999–March 24, 2003)

Logo: The tall font "The itsy bitsy Entertainment Company" with a stylized sun on top of "itsy bitsy" is seen inside a white tube shape with a blue outline. Underneath the company name reads "...made from children's dreams!".

Variants:

On It's Itsy Bitsy Time!, the logo fades in and deblurs while yellow sparkles burst over it. The text "Produced in Association With" can be seen above the logo.
On Latin Spanish prints of Teletubbies, this logo appears with the Discovery Kids, the 1995 Ragdoll and the 1988 BBC logos.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Rare, can be seen on season 2 of 64 Zoo Lane, Latin Spanish prints of Teletubbies, which is preserved on WildBrain prints, and It's Itsy Bitsy Time.

2nd Logo (September 25, 2000–February 21, 2003)

Logo: On a yellow background, we see a 3D, stylized, and blue kid smiling as he lets go of a white and blue balloon with a red ribbon. When the white words "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 fly around and eventually rest by him. Simultaneously, when the balloon returns on-screen from the right, the blue words "Entertainment" scrolls underneath the kid. Finally, a trademark symbol fades in next to "Entertainment".

Variants: An in-credit variant exists

FX/SFX: The kid bouncing, the balloon flying, and the text fading and scrolling.

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

Availability: Ultra rare. 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 seen on season 3 and 4 of the aforementioned series.

Kenn Viselman Presents

(2012)

Logo: On a black background, we see the golden script words "KENN VISELMAN" writing in with a dust effect. A fairy dust moves over through the words and settle to the "I". Fireworks appear, and then the spark turns into a dot. The word "presents..." fade in via a flash effect. The fireworks continue to move, until a dust dissloves the logo.

FX/SFX: The dust writing the name, the fireworks.

Music/Sounds: A beautiful majestic fantasy-oriented synthesized fanfare with sparkling sounds.

Availability: Seen on the infamous 2012 film The Oogieloves in the BIG Balloon Adventure.
