Logo (September 19, 1990-June 6, 1999)


Visuals: On a flowing water background, a flat stone slab flies and rests above the surface of the water. Joining it are the abstract yellow and red letters "MP" in addition to a light blue wavy bar, positioning itself near the bottom right of the logo. As the logo becomes 2D, "MARINA PRODUCTIONS", with the latter text stretched out to fit the width of the former word, ripples in below.

Variants:

  • There is a shortened variant, beginning at the moment where the text is visible.
  • On Mr. Men and Little Miss, the text isn't animated.
  • On Little Hippo, the blue text "UNE PRODUCTION CLAUDE BERTHIER (France)/A CLAUDE BERTHIER PRODUCTION (English)" fades below the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: It starts with a series of high pitched string note, followed by a reverse cymbal crash and a bang. Then, several dreamy synth notes play. Sometimes, the closing theme of the show plays over.

Availability:

  • It's seen on Mr. Men and Little Miss, Dog Tracer and Little Hippo. It also appears on the North American version of the former called The Mr. Men Show (not to be confused with the 2008 show of the same name).
  • The full version appeared on Le Chevalier du labyrinthe.
