1st Logo
(1997-2000)
Nickname: "Dancing Mickey"

Logo: Over a background of concentric circles coming from the center (and claymated), we see Mickey Mouse dancing inside the Disney Channel logo of the era (a black television set with Mickey Mouse ears at the top, with the Disney logo inside and "CHANNEL" below). Sometimes, "In Association with" is shown above. Also, the background pattern varies.

Variant: For the later years, the website URL www.disney.com is shown below.

FX: The clay background, Mickey Mouse dancing.

Music/Sounds: A ten-note jingle played on a xylophone or the end theme of the show.

Availability: Extinct. Appeared on "Out of the Box", "PB&J Otter", "Amazing Animals", and "Rolie Polie Olie", among other shows. It was also seen on every episode of "Mad Libs". The former is long gone from American TV, and the latter has since been updated with newer Playhouse Disney logos. The DVD release of "Rolie Polie Olie: Olie's Winter Wonderland" has this logo intact, however. Check those old tapes!

Scare Factor: None.

2nd Logo
(2000-2002)
Nickname: "The Hip-Hop Logo"

Logo: Over a psychadelic purple background, we see "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" in white. It fades out as the Disney Channel logo from last time, in purple, zooms up. "Disney" pops out of the logo when it stops. Through the remainder, the logo shifts colors and patterns.

FX: The logo zooming up and changing colors.

Music/Sounds: Either the end theme of the show, or a hip-hop/rock jingle with a synthesized voice saying "Go! Go!" (or something like that).

Availability: Appears on pre-2002 episodes of "Lizzie McGuire" and "Even Stevens" on Superstation WGN (now WGN America). You'll be lucky to see it in it's glory there, as SSWGN/WGNA obliterates the logos with their GSN like credits (at least they don't cut them off like GSN, though). Check your old tapes for the logo if you don't have WGN!

Scare Factor: None.

3rd Logo
(2002-2008)
Nickname: "Shiny Mickey Head"

Logo: Over a black background, we see pixie dust flying to the top. It explodes and forms several Mickey Mouse head outlines, all of which fly towards the viewer, turning the BG into a cloudy sky. A Mickey Mouse head outline flies to the bottom right, and turns into a blue outlined Disney Channel logo, filled with watery white coloring and the "Disney CHANNEL" text in black. A blue banner reading "ORIGINAL" pops up around the logo. The entire logo wobbles.

Variants:

• There is a more commonplace short version starting with the wobble. The long version only appeared before shows and was retired in 2006.
• On "Life with Derek", "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" is above the logo.
• On "Thats So Raven", we hear the last logo's music, except the "Yeah!" is extended.

FX: All of the animation.

Music/Sounds: Several drumbeats, followed by a five note guitar theme. May also use the show's ending theme

Availability: Common; appears on every Disney Channel-produced show from 2002-present. It is also tacked onto the end of older non-Playhouse shows when they get reran.


Scare Factor: None, unless you're scared of their really bad shows.
