Background

The Wiggles Pty Ltd. is the holding company established by the founders of the Australian kids' band, The Wiggles. The band did not have an on-screen logo until 1997.

1st Logo (July 1, 1997-October 23, 1998)


Visuals: Against a blue background with swirls, a purple sky, red clouds, and yellow ground, there is a girl wearing yellow-and-blue overalls and a red-and-purple shirt with the letter W on it. She stands in front of a canvas picking up some paint off of an easel with her paintbrush, touching the canvas, as The Wiggles logo (the text The Wiggles in a font known as Cori Sans with the dot in the i colored green on a weird yellow shape) appears via a blur effect. The girl disappears and the logo shines on the purple background.

Trivia: The girl in the logo is Emma Ryan, who was one of the kids who would appear alongside The Wiggles during music videos and some segments throughout the 1990s. Emma's outfit would also be worn by other kids that appear in music videos

Variant: On Let's Wiggle, 'Let's Wiggle' replaces 'The Wiggles', the logo itself is glossier, and the background is a purple gradient. Also, a copyright notice appears on the bottom right.

Technique: Chroma-key and CGI.

Audio: A calm, whimsical music box tune. Sometimes, it's low-pitched.

Audio Variant: On "Spooked Wiggles" and "Funny Greg", The Chase credits song overlaps the logo for a few seconds making the music box tune and the logo out of sync. It's unknown if this was an error or not.

Availability: Series 1 of The Wiggles no longer airs in Australia, nor has it aired in the United States since the mid 2000s, when it aired on Playhouse Disney (now Disney Junior). Series 1 may have aired for a period on Sprout (now Universal Kids). As of 2015, this logo can no longer be seen on TV, although VHS recordings of The Wiggles (Series 1), the HiT Extras special feature and the Series 1 boxset may have this logo intact on them. This logo also appears at the start of the Big Red Car Game on the Wiggles Interactive app in The Wiggles Movie Soundtrack CD.
