m So I discovered Toei Animation had a Logo that is still in used since 2013. And it's questioning me if it will be replacing the next Logo. Either way, I made the 2016 put as the 5th Logo now. Tag: Visual edit |

Toei Animation is a Japanese animation production and distribution company partially owned by Toei Company Ltd. It was established in 1956 at the former Tokyo-Ōizumi animation studio by purchasing the assets of Japan Animated Films. By the mid-60's, the company began producing anime for television. The company also produces feature-length anime films, based on well-known stories and their TV series. Toei Animation is famous for adapting such manga series as Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Sailor Moon, and for popularizing Digimon. The studio also made overseas work for US companies such as Marvel Productions, and Hanna-Barbera among others.

Visuals: There is a small line-art version of Pero (as described below) in reverse video, with the text "Produced in Association with" above and "TOEI DOGA" below, all in the Transformers credits font. Below all this is a Sunbow Entertainment copyright notice, in a compressed sans-serif.
Technique: A superimposed graphic.
Audio: The end theme of The Transformers.
Availability: Only seen on early season 1 episodes of The Transformers.
Visuals: On a white background with a blurred picture of a rainbow, there's the metallic "Toei Animation" text appearing on top of the screen in an arc formation. On the bottom, the yellow Japanese text saying "公式ビジュアルガイド" (which means "Official Visual Guide") appears.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None.
Availability: Was only seen on Dragon Ball Z: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans (OVA).
Visuals: On a space background, bubbles with images on them (mostly on nature, like the red tulip, a sunflower, a pelican, a gecko, a parrot and some fishes) form together and morph into the head of a Puss in Boots-like character named Pero, the star of Toei's 1969 adaptation of Charles Perrault's Puss in Boots tale. The background transitions into the multicolored starburst background and to white, and the head zooms out to make way for the "TOEI ANIMATION" text to zoom out into the screen.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A triumphant orchestral fanfare ending with a timpani roll. In most cases, it'll use the last part of the show's ending theme, or a descending sparkling noise ending in 4 bell tolls.
Audio Variant: On Tamagotchi: Honto no Hanashi, there are bubble sounds, followed by a "ta-da!" sound effect originally taken from Fun and Fancy Free (and used as a stock sound effect in Cartoon Trax Volume 1) and a girl saying "Yippee!".
Availability:
Visuals: A red streak is seen in the middle as it bolts to the left, as it then bolts to the right to form Toei Animation with the font written in a type of Japanese-like Font seen on some Anime Shows, the text then changes to White as the text in white reads 'Since 1956'.
Variant: At the end of some shows, a print version of the Logo is seen super-imposed in white over the end credits.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A whoosh plays as it's followed by an ominous sound.
Audio Variant: For the In-Credit Variant, it's the end theme of the show.
Availability:
Visuals: There are 2 variants for this logo:
Variant: A 60th anniversary exists. The golden words "60TH" and "ANNIVERSARY" move into their position surrounding the blue globe with Pero and the crystal "TOEI ANIMATION" text just fades in and its smaller to make way for the slogan "夢は世界とともに" (translated in English as "Sharing dreams with the world"). Also, the sparkling is less powerful.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Two whooshes with a pounding sound, played along with an orchestral note.
Audio Variant: The long version contains a filmstrip sound (similar to the 2012 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo), followed by a glitter sound when Pero uses his wand, a Dragon Ball Z sound when Pero flies with 2 whoosh sounds, and finally, the sounds mentioned before. On one occasion, instead of the 4 mentioned sounds, there were 3 whooshes and a glitter sound when the golden stars appear.
