Background

Universal Kids Originals is an American television production company founded on September 26, 2005 by HiT Entertainment, Sesame Workshop, PBS and Comcast as Sprout Originals. On September 9, 2017, Sprout rebranded as Universal Kids and Sprout Originals was rebranded as Universal Kids Originals. The network is owned by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios.

1st Logo (September 26, 2005-August 24, 2009)

Logo: Each variant has a green five petal flower to reveal the PBS Kids Sprout logo. The word "sprout" is written in a font. All of this takes place on a blue background.

Trivia: This logo was designed by Primal Screen.

Variants:

"Flowers": The flower hits colored flowers, causing them to spin, before getting into the Sprout logo.
"Big and Little": The flower jumps out of a larger version of itself as they roll along with the little as the latter jumps to the Sprout logo.
"Fluttering": Colored flowers fly across the screen where one of them is green and fly to the Sprout logo.
"Hoops": We see flowers playing with hoops, one of them spins its hoop too fast, causing the Sprout logo to reveal. This time, the background is yellow.
"Mobile": As we see a mobile, we see various PBS Kids characters, such as Ernie and Barney. Then, we see the PBS Kids Sprout logo form.

Technique: Flash animation.

Music/Sounds: A playful theme tune.

Availability: It's seen on PBS Kids shows that aired on Sprout before 2009.

2nd Logo (August 24, 2009-July 12, 2014)

Logo: We see a child’s hand opening a pop-up book. When it opens, lots of pictures unfold, such as trees, bushes, and flowers. A big orange flower is seen with the 2009 Sprout logo, with the text "sprout" in blue with a green 5-pedal flower above the "out" The text "Original" is also shown.

Trivia: It's presumed that this was supposed to appear on Astroblast!, as the closing theme fades out when it could've finished.

Variants:

An in-credit version exists without "Original" can be seen on Nina's Little Fables.
On uploads of Pajanimals to the Jim Henson's Family Hub YouTube channel, the logo cheaply freeze-frames at the end so that the full credits music can be played.

Technique: Live action combined with computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A remix of the Sprout theme, with kids saying the network's name.

Availability: Seen on several Sprout original series (including The Chica Show), most of which are no longer on TV. However, it may be preserved on Hulu and Amazon Prime prints of The Chica Show. It is intact on uploads of Pajanimals to the official Jim Henson's Family Hub YouTube channel.

3rd Logo (July 12, 2014-September 26, 2015)

Logo: Against a grainy white background, we see a kid and a grownup (possibly their mother or father) standing. The grownup holds a rectangle with text reading "original" and the kid holds a bullhorn. When he or she says "Sprout!", the Sprout logo comes out of the bullhorn. Then, the both say, "Original!" and the grownup holds up the text he or she was holding so we can see it.

Technique: Live action. This was filmed in New York City.

Music/Sounds: Another remix of the Sprout theme, along with the kid and the parent's dialogue.

Music/Sounds Variant: There are instrumental, dialogue-less versions of this logo.

Availability: This was first shown on episodes of Astroblast!, and then episodes of Clangers on Sprout. This can also be found on Ruff-Ruff, Tweet and Dave, before being replaced with the next logo below a few months later.

4th Logo (September 26, 2015-September 9, 2017)

Logo: On a turquoise background, we see the Sprout text morphing in green, purple, and blue, and the flower morphs in purple, orange, and green. Then, when the flower is green and the text is a darker blue than the background, the text "original series" in blue and green flicker in slowly like neon.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A remix of the Sprout theme with an airy tune and dreamy synths.

Availability: It appeared on every single Sprout show by the company, plastering the previous logos. It appeared on Floogals, Dot, Astroblast!, Chloe's Closet, and others. It made its last appearance on The Ollie & Moon Show.
