Teletoon (Canada)
Logo captures by Eric S., AsdfTheRevival and EnormousRat
Editions by Scott Hutcheon and userjt
Background: Licensed in 1996 by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the English language channel launched on October 17, 1997. It was originally owned by a consortium made up of various other Canadian specialty services and producers; The Family Channel Inc. acting as managing partner at 53.3% (Astral Media & WIC), YTV Canada Inc. at 26.7% (Shaw Communications), Cinar and Nelvana with 10% each. Through various acquisitions over the years, ownership resulted in both Astral Media and Corus Entertainment owning a 50% stake in the service.
1st Logo
(1997-2007/2009)
Nicknames: "Growing Panes", "The Corporate Chiclet", "Teletoon Smile", "Oval Smile"
Logo: On a white background, we see a bunch of watercolor lines in the shape of the Teletoon smile logo squiggle around. Then, the lines come closer together until they "smash" into each other to form a solid Teletoon logo. Underneath is the byline "TELETOON is a registered trademark owned by TELETOON Canada Inc.". Below that is the same byline in French.
Variants:
- In the station's early years, the red border wasn't there, and sometimes it appeared blue, light green or orange instead of red.
- In some shows, it appears superimposed in the credits inside a box.
FX/SFX: The lines forming the logo.
Music/Sounds: The show's end theme, sometimes merged with the sounds of a cartoony jingle and a popping sound as the "Chiclet" jumps out as the full 3D CG rendered version. Sometimes, only the sound effects are heard.
Availability: Common; seen on practically anything pre-2007 on Teletoon in Canada. In the United States, it is seen on shows such as Maggie & the Ferocious Beast, and Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends(first two seasons only, Treehouse TV produced the series from 2006 to 2007, its final season) on Nick Jr., very early episodes of Spliced on qubo, and Gerald McBoing Boing on Boomerang. Often followed by the YTV logo or the Nelvana logo.
Scare Factor: None, unless the face in the Teletoon logo creeps you out.
2nd Logo
(2007- )
Logo: On a blue/white gradient background, we see the gold text "TELETOON", shining. Underneath is the black text "Original Production".
Variant: There is a longer version where the letters twirl around before stopping into place and shining.
FX/SFX: The text shining.
Music/Sounds: The show's end theme.
Availability: Common; seen on all current programming on the Teletoon network in Canada. In the United States, it can be seen on 6teen, Stoked, and the Total Drama series, all on Cartoon Network (which follows after the Nelvana logo from 2004 that is shown only on 6teen), Jimmy Two-Shoes on Disney XD and Spliced on qubo, among other shows. This can be additionally seen on brand new episodes of Johnny Test.
Scare Factor: None; how scary can shining gold text be?

Scott Hutcheon here, Writer-Producer for Teletoon/The Detour for 10 years. When I originally came up with the first endpage logo, which we called the corporate chiclet, posted here I titled it "Growing Panes" -- it was meant to be the Teletoon chiclet logo going through the evolutionary stages of animation from single plane 2D hand drawn to 3D CG when it pops out.
