1st Logo (1997-1999)


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: Cel animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

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 An archived version of the site during that period can be found here.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 (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.


3rd 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.

Variant: 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.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare, 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.

4th Logo (February 24, 2016-2017)

Logo: On a white background, a blue rocket ship with eyeballs, stars and hearts as the flame of the rocket flies around and then red letters forming the word "W!LDBRAiN" pop up (the first dot is yellow, and the second one is blue) as the rocket passes.

Variants:

  • There is a variant where the letters simply pop out, without any rocket ship.
  • On later episodes of the Brum CGI series, the logo appeared with the character Moo the Cow.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: An off-tune trumpet playing the "play ball" theme, along with sparkles.

Availability: It's very common on WildBrain-operated YouTube channels. You can find this logo on the Brum CGI series as well as generic YouTube channels.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (2017-2019)

Logo: On a white background, we see a red rounded "U" shape being formed. The shape then gains eyes and a mouth and then begins to stretch more, which forms a rounded W with 3 eyes and 2 mouths. The word "WildBrain" appears on the bottom letter by letter.

FX/SFX: 2D Toon-Boom Animation.

Music/Sounds: Various sound effects, ending with ether little pops or British kids saying the company's name.

Availability: No longer current. Many WildBrain-operated channels use this at the beginning of uploads.
