Logo (September 26, 1997-February 13, 1998)

Visuals: On a black background with a blue spotlight is a magician's hat with a rabbit in it. The company name in a chalk-like font is seen below.

Technique: None.

Audio: A 2-note "ding" sound and then a 2-note synth sounder (with drums) segueing into a 6-note celesta ditty.

Audio Variants: This is a list of the audio variants for the logo:

  • Episodes 2, 5, 10, 13, 14 and 16: A short, sparkling chime arpeggio is heard followed by a Japanese yell.
  • "I Love Nitzke": A held-long guitar note with a Freddie Mercury-esque singer saying "Woo!".
  • "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog": A frog (voiced by Tim Curry) croaking twice.
  • "Living Doll": A man exclaiming "Aho-ho-ho-ho-ho-hoy mateys!"
  • Episodes 15 and 17 (the series finale--the episode "Look Ma, No Face"--): a bouncy guitar intro.
