Logo (2007- )
Visuals: On a black background, there is a gray spotlight with the text "WHIZZ KID" with the word "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" shown below the logo. The right side of the text opens like a jack-in-the-box, with a red star inside, which bounces over to the logo.
Byline: Starting in 2018, the byline "an entertainment One company" is shown below the logo with the Entertainment One logo in its corporate font.
Variants:
- The logo may usually appear in a box.
- Sometimes, the logo is shared with other logos.
- Sometimes, a print version of the logo is used.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A cartoonish bouncing sound with a machinery sound as the jack-in-the-box opens. Sometimes, it is silent or has the ending theme playing over.
Availability: Seen at the end of such programs and documentaries, like Ex on the Beach, including its international adaptations, George Michael: Road to Wembley, Elton's New Year Party: Live from The O2, and U2: 360 At The Rose Bowl.
