1st ID (April 15, 1994-1995)

ID: We see the Ghost Planet, as seen in the show's intro. "visit ghost planet" is on the bottom of the screen. The screen "dissolves" to the planet with a blue tint. The phone number, fax number, e-mail address and location for the Williams Street studios is shown.

Technique: Hardly any, just the transitions.

Music/Sounds: A "modem" sound effect, which sounds like an old Atari game.

Availability: Only appeared on SGC2C's first season, following the Cartoon Network logo. This, for whatever reason, has been cut from the Volume One DVD set, though it can be found on the episode "The Mask" (which appears after the movie The Mask on its original VHS release). Otherwise, check your old tapes. It has also been cut from the HBO Max prints, only being retained on some episodes.

2nd ID (1996)

ID: Same as before, but with a different typeface, "contact ghost planet" on the bottom, and the show's website "ghostplanet.com" in the info.

Technique: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: A modem sound but extended and a little lower in volume. On the "Lovesick" episode, Star Lady's rant continues over the ID ("And what's with this bug? His vest is green, blue, orange...") Since the ID was cut from most Season 3 episodes on HBO Max, this means part of the rant got cut.

Availability: Intact on the Volume Two DVD set.

3rd ID (1997-1998)

ID: A blue-gray BG containing the info from before, in Bell Gothic.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Intact on the Volume Three DVD set.
