1st Logo (2002-2010)

Nickname: Télétoon+'s Sister

Logo: On a black/white background, we see a sunshine yellow and amber mascot. There was a Piwi text in kiwi green. Then the mascot looks at the viewers, smiles, and winks. Underneath is the byline, whose animation varies depending on which byline.

Byline:

• 2002-2006: "Une société TPS"
• 2007-2010: "Une société Canal+"
• On some TV shows, the logo is bylineless. If this was used during the TF1 era, then the TF1 logo will follow.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the website address (www.piwi.fr) is seen below the logo.
• Sometimes, the copyright information is seen below the logo.
• An opening variant exists where the text "Piwi Présente" is seen in the sky blue background with a rainbow. This variant appears at the beginning of previews from the time.
• TV shows with this logo use a still version of this logo.
• On later episodes of Willa's Wild Life, a still version of this logo also exists. It was above the 1990 TF1 logo.
