1st Logo (1997-1999)

• 
  Original version
• 
  Version with updated text

Logo: On a black background, we see a purple head. The head sniffles, and sneezes, exploding into "Wild Brain" drawn in a crude font.

Variant: Around June 26, 1998, the text was replaced by the second logo's text.

FX/SFX: Flash animation.

Music/Sounds: Just the sound of the harp.

Availability: Extinct. It was only seen in the '90s as the opening animation of the Wild Brain website. An archived version of the site during that period can be found here.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1998)

• 

Logo: On a white-gradient background, we see a crudely drawn jack-in-the-box toy containing a human brain with a cartoony expression and wearing a crown. "Wild" and "Brain" are present on opposing sides of the jack-in-the-box in black.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the program.

Availability: Extinct. Was only seen on the Oh Yeah! Cartoons short Fathead, albeit only on solo airings that would have the original credits intact.

3rd Logo (February 1, 2000-January 7, 2008)

• 

Logo: On a teal background, we see an eye that looks more like a speech bubble. A "™" symbol is next to the eye. The eye then spins around, turning the background blue and revealing the word "WILD BRAIN". The "B" has an extra hump and the W has an extra stem.

Variant:

• On Poochini's Yard, the background has a variety of crazy stuff, which consists of (all are seen for a split-second):
  • An anthropomorphic dog with big eyes.
  • A family eating pizza on an eye shaped table.
  • A naked guy lifting the eye in front of a background with constellations.
  • The eye on a background with squares each with stripes of a color.
  • The eye in orange and red on a background with orange and red bubbles.
  • Some houses seen on a helicopter view with a pond in the form of the eye.
  • The eye on a red background with zip-line like clouds.
  • The eye drawn in a little wavy zig-zag like style.
  • The eye drawn in a blue oil pastel like style on a white background.
  • The eye drawn in a blue watercolor paint like style.
  • The eye with multi-colored lines and lighting on it.
  • The eye drawn in a purple ink like style.
  • The eye in a blurry bright blue like style on a background with squares of different tones of blue.
  • The eye in orange on a background with different colors.
  • The eye in a bright yellow color on a psychedelic background.
  • A town of people with eyes as heads.
  • Again, the eye in orange on a background with different colors.
  • The eye drawn in a dark green/orange spray-paint like style on a background of bright green.
  • The eye drawn in very wavy scribbly-like style.
  • The eye drawn in a smokey like style.
  • Then, the eye spins as normal.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Music/Sounds Variant: For the Poochini's Yard variant, it consists of 2 drum notes, followed by the spinning sound and a weird 2-note theme.

Availability: Rare. The variant can be seen on Poochini's Yard. Also found on DVDs of Higglytown Heroes (the show kept this logo until 2008).

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (August 20, 2007-February 24, 2016)

• 

Logo: On a white background, we see a close-up of an orange atom. Then the atom flies around and forms the WildBrain logo (the first "I" in the logo is an exclamation point). The "I" then turns orange.

Variants:

• On later series from the company, "W!LDBRAIN" is sandwiched between 2 bars, with "ENTERTAINMENT" in orange below "W!LDBRAIN", and a DHX Media byline is seen below the finished product. It first appeared on the Monster High special New Ghoul at School.
• On The Ricky Gervais Show, the logo is still.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare (an excerpt from Cordoba Bumper, from Megatrax), followed by a ding sound. On some occasions, a couple of whooshing sounds, a chime arpeggio, and a different ding sound. Sometimes, the end theme of the show or silent.

Availability: Common. It was first seen on Yo Gabba Gabba! on Nick Jr. It was also seen on pre-Nelvana episodes of Bubble Guppies, The Hard Times of RJ Berger, The Ricky Gervais Show, pre-Nerd Corps Monster High specials, and on the special Happiness Is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown. Also seen on the WildBrain website.

Editor's Note: None.
