Logo (1997-2002)

Visuals: On a gray, cloudy background, there are two tandem bikes rolling around a filmstrip without any film inside. Then, after 10 seconds, the tandem bikes zoom up as the filmstrip settles to roll around. Afterwards, the background changes to a grey-black background and the holes in the filmstrip turn green. The words TANDEM and PRODUCTIONS - FILM - VIDÉO appear like this:

TAN DEM

PRODUCTIONS - FILM - VIDÉO

with TANDEM in a Vacarious-font and with the letter TAN in green and the letter DEM in black. A copyright stamp shows underneath on the bottom of the screen at the right corner.

Variant: On season 3 of Habitaction, the tandem bikes are removed and only the green holes animation in seen.

Technique: The tandem bikes rolling, the holes in the filmstrip changing to green.

Audio: The ending theme of the show with film sound effects as the tandem bikes roll around and a storm sound as the logo completes.

Availability: Seen on every episode rerun of Habitaction on some networks.
