WildBrain Entertainment

''This article is about a real logo. For a fictionalized company, see WildBrain Entertainment.''

Background
WildBrain Entertainment (doing business as WildBrain) was an American animation studio that developed TV series, movies, commercial content and licence merchandise. The company was established and is founded in October 1994 by John Hays, Phil Robinson, and Jeff Fino, as it maintained offices in Los Angeles, California and New York City.

1st Logo (1997-1999)
Logo: On a black background, we see a head with a pencil lodged through its ears. The head sniffles, and sneezes, exploding into the company name in white appearing in a crude font.

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

FX/SFX: Flash animation.

Music/Sounds: Just the sound of a harp (An excerpt from the 2nd Harp - Chordal Gliss, Up and Down, Repeating, Music Harp Music sound effect by Sound Ideas). Sometimes, 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 An archived version of the site during that period can be found here.

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: We see an eye that looks more like a speech bubble, that changes graphics in backgrounds with a variety of crazy stuff, which consists of (all are seen for a split-second): After that, we see the logo on a teal background with a " ™ " symbol next to that. The speech bubble 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.
 * 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.

Variant: On Higglytown Heroes, there is a short version that has no flashing, and it begins with the eye on the teal background, spinning, especially or maybe some other typical TV shows.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A theme that consists of 2 drum notes, followed by the spinning sound and a weird 2-note theme.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Higglytown Heroes, the ending theme of the show plays along with the Happy Nest logo.

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

Scare Factor: None.

(August 20, 2007-February 24, 2016)
Logo: On a white background, we see a close-up of an 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.

Variants: Trivia: This was designed by Adams Morioka.
 * On later series from the company, "W!LDBRAIN" is sandwiched between 2 bars, with "ENTERTAINMENT" in  below "W!LDBRAIN", and a DHX Media byline is seen below the finished product. It first appeared on the Monster High special Fright On!.
 * On The Ricky Gervais Show, the logo is still.
 * On some occasions, the atom moves slower and the rest plays as normal.
 * A fullscreen version exists, which was seen on season 1 of Bubble Guppies.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare (an excerpt from Cordoba Bumper, from Megatrax), accompanied by the wind sound, followed by a ding sound.

Music/Sounds Variants:


 * On some occasions, as sometimes, a couple of whooshing sounds, a chime arpeggio, and a different ding sound. Sometimes, the end theme of the show or silent.
 * On some of the episodes of season 1 of Bubble Guppies, the wind sound is even louder.

Availability: Common. It was first seen on Yo Gabba Gabba! on Nick Jr. It was also seen on season 1 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 taken from Team Smithereen. Was also seen on the WildBrain website. However, more recent prints of Yo Gabba Gabba! have begun plastering this logo with the current WildBrain logo.

Scare Factor: Minimal to low. The atom can get to some people. Low for the whooshing sounds variant.
