'''Visuals:''' On a matte paper background, the red text "'''''the media merchants'''''" quickly flips up. After that, "'''''the'''''" then drops off and quickly swings about, resting at a 90 degree angle when it stops.
'''Variants:'''
* Starting in 1995, the logo is completely still and has the word "'''''production'''''" below in grey. The word "'''''the'''''" also looks closer.
** On ''ZZZap!'', the text now appears in an explosion shape and is also in a different font.
* Starting with season 10 of ''Art Attack'', the background would have stains of different colours, like:

** March 26, 2001-December 13, 2004: Four and 3D-rendered coloured stains of yellow, orange, blue and red, with the text "production for" appering below the [[SMG Productions|SMG TV Productions]] logo.
