The final result
Logo: We see a grassy field, with a branch that a frog is sitting on. We pan over to a hill where a gear is turning in a river, and a wooden mechanical being is sitting down. It gets up on its many legs, pulls a lever on itself, and its eye turns into a rainbow colored wheel, which begins to spin. We zoom in to another grassy area, where a wooden light, presumably of the same creature, shines a blue beam. It is reflected off of two wooden mirrors, and hits a glowing green gem held by the mechanical being's hands. The gem swells, and rainbow bands fly out of it. The rainbow moves across the landscape, and touches a wooden letter "R", turning it white. The background turns to a sky background and a blue square forms around the "R". The rainbow stripes move behind the R, and the text "RAINBOW" appears on the side. The logo's reflection can be seen underneath.
FX/SFX: Very impressive animation throughout, which is done in a unique way that makes it unclear whether it is CGI or stop motion.
Variant: There is a variant where after the logo is formed, the word “CGI” appears on the bottom right of the logo.
Music/Sounds: A gentle orchestral theme that builds near the end. Mechanical noises and the croaking of the frog at the beginning accompany.
Trivia: The proof that the logo was at least partially in stop-motion can be found here: https://youtu.be/jqS36Scl70o
Availability: Seen on Gladiators of Rome and Winx Club: The Mystery of the Abyss.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo (2016-)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=RainbowSrl2016.jpg&width=300)
Logo: On a black background, the white text "RAINBOW" flips up. It turns on it's side, and a black "R" appears next to it in the same font as the last logo. Rainbow stripes wipe in behind the "R" and a blue square appears behind it, forming the same logo as before.
FX/SFX: The text and formation of the logo.
Music/Sounds: A few sound effects for the action in the logo.
Availability: Current.
