'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a giant, gelatinous purple "'''{{Color|purple|{{font|Times new Roman|O}}}}'''" falls to the center of the screen. As it jiggles, "{{font|Comic Sans MS|{{color|purple|Entertainment}}}}" (also in purple, in a handwritten font) appears below in a blur effect. |
|||
*Sometimes the background is black, or the logo is a bit smaller. |
|||
*On ''Santa vs. the Snowman 3D'', the logo is on a white oval and shines as it slowly zooms in. |
|||
'''Variant:''' On ''Thumbs!'', "WWW.OEDEKERK.COM" appears below the logo. |

|||
'''Audio Variants:''' |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' This is much simpler than the next logo because the "O" is different with a more minimalistic design. It is also boring because it just fades in and out. |
|||
* On the ''Jimmy Neutron'' pilot "Runaway Rocketboy", the synth theme is different and the "O!" voiceover is delayed for a fraction of a second. |
|||
* ''Thumb Wars'' has the closing theme instead of the synth tune, with the voice saying "O!" intact. |
|||
* At the beginning of the ''Thumb Wars'' 1999 VHS as well as the 2000 demo pitch for ''Barnyard'', only the "O!" voiceover is heard. |
