Background

The Wiggles Pty Ltd. is the business owned company founded in 1991 which is created by the founders of the Australian kids' music band, The Wiggles. The band did not yet have an on-screen logo until 1997.

1st Logo (1997-1999)

Nicknames: "The Girl Painting", "The Sky", "The Clouds", "The Canvas"

Logo: There is a blue background with swirls, a purple sky, red clouds, and yellow ground. A girl wearing blue-and-yellow overalls stands in front of a canvas picking up some paint off of an easel with her paintbrush. Then she touches the canvas with her paintbrush, and The Wiggles logo appears via a blur effect. Then the girl disappears and the logo shines.

Trivia: The girl in the logo is actually Emma Ryan, who loved The Wiggles when she was a kid. Eventually, she would replace Greg Page as the yellow Wiggle.

FX/SFX: A combination of chroma-key technology and CGI.

Music/Sounds: A calm, whimsical music box tune.

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

Availability: Scarce. 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) (though it may have aired for a period on Sprout, now Universal Kids). However, VHS recordings of The Wiggles (Series 1), the HiT Extras special feature and the Series 1 boxset may definitely have this on them (The logo is also available on Disney+).

Editor's Note: This logo is a favorite among The Wiggles fans.

2nd Logo (January 2, 1999-October 22, 2001)

Nicknames: "The Bee and Flower", "The Orange Flower"

Logo: On a black background, we see a CGI Bee pollenating an orange flower from the yellow nectar. Then it sparkles to reveal The Wiggles logo and the text stretches before it goes to its original position. A copyright notice appears below as it reads "Copyright © [YEAR] The Wiggles Touring Pty Limited".

Trivia: This was done by Plastic Wax.

Variant(s):

• On a Playhouse Disney (now Disney Junior) airing of The Wiggles TV Series 2, the opening sequence is used. Also, the text is skinnier.
• On a GMTV airing of The Wiggles TV Series 2, the text “Produced for GMTV” is above the copyright notice.
• On the 1999 version of “Wiggly, Wiggly, Christmas”, the copyright notice is extended to read "The Wiggles, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and Captain Feathersword are trademarks of The Wiggles Touring Pty Limited. © 1999".
• On “Yule Be Wiggling” the logo is freezes for 12 seconds.
• There is a variant without a copyright notice below the logo. This can be seen on a Sprout (now Universal Kids) airing of The Wiggles TV Series 2.

FX/SFX: The Bee pollenating the flower and The Wiggles logo sparkling and stretching. The 3D animation is pretty good for the mid-late 1990s.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of The Wiggles with the Bee buzzing and chimes ringing. Very rarely, It can even be heard without the buzzing sound to represent the animation. This can be seen on Disney+'s Japanese audio track for The Wiggles TV Series 2 (specifically, Wiggle Food).

Music/Sounds Trivia: The buzzing for the bee in The Wiggles logo is identical to the Music bug's buzz during the "Dorothy and the Music Bug" scene in The Wiggles TV Series 2 episode "Musical Instruments". This sound is called "Sound Ideas, FLY - SINGLE FLY BUZZING AROUND, ANIMAL, INSECT 03", which can be found in the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library.

Music/Sounds Variant(s):

• On "Yule Be Wiggling" and the 1999 version of "Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas", the closing theme plays over it.
• On "Hoop-Dee-Doo! It's a Wiggly Party", there is no closing music.
• On the international version of "Wake Up Jeff!", the logo is silent.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on The Wiggles TV Series 2 episodes, The Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends Video (Version 2), the International version of Wake Up Jeff!, the 1999 versions of Toot Toot! and Wiggly, Wiggly, Christmas!, Big Red Car (the UK version of Toot Toot!), It’s a Wiggly, Wiggly, World!, Hoop-Dee-Doo! It’s a Wiggly Party and Yule be Wiggling. Although, TV Series 2 of The Wiggles no longer airs on TV in Australia nor the United States since the mid-2000s when it aired on Playhouse Disney (now Disney Junior). (Though it may have aired for a period on Sprout now Universal Kids) This logo sadly no longer exists on TV since 2014. However, it was intact on the TV Series 2 Collector's Edition DVD and the DVD and VHS releases of “The Wiggles: Wiggly Play Time” and “The Wiggles: Lights, Camera, Action!” of said show (The logo is also available on Disney+). Also, it appeared on HIT Entertainment Children’s Favourites 2005 UK DVD.

• Playhouse Disney Variant: Extinct. It was seen on a Playhouse Disney (now Disney Junior) airing of The Wiggles TV Series 2. Check your old tapes.
• Sprout variant: Extinct. It was seen on a Sprout (now Universal Kids) airing of The Wiggles TV Series 2. Check your old tapes.

Editor's Note: Another favorite logo among The Wiggles fans.

3rd Logo (September 30, 2002-)

Wiggles Pty Limited (2016, in-credit).

Wiggles Pty Limited (2008, w/white Unicef wordmark and globe log inside a light blue box on right side).

Logo: We only just see the The Wiggles logo itself placed superimposed on the credits at the very top middle on a black background and also is still. But the logo is cut a bit much mid-longer enough, approaching all the way to the last half ten seconds or so. Then the TV show's logo finally fades off to black from the whole entire screen. Copyrighted year and copyrighted notice info (either in white or in other colors) given can also be seen way below to the middle of the bottom throughout the entire ending credits of the series, depending on the season/episode of any year that has been released out.

Variant(s):

• A special funding interatrial for the Unicef Foundation, as part of The Wiggles, which aired around 2008, has the Unicef logo being appeared on the right sided corner next to beside of the latter show's logo exactly being placed on the left-sided one.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Usually so far it's the ending theme of The Wiggles. On some episodes of the latter, then meaning it can be none.

Availability: Current. Seen on The Wiggles (TV series), Ready...Steady...Wiggle!, Wiggle! Wiggle! Wiggle!, Emma!, Lachy!, Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas!, Wiggle Town and as well on other franchises of works from the said given brand.

Editor's Note: This is a cool-looking logo for early-childhood aged fans of The Wiggles franchise.
