1st (and quite only) logo
(1996-1997)

Nickname:"Jack-in-the-box"

Logo: We see a blue box (with yellow zigzags round it) in a corner of a bedroom. The camera revolves to the front of it, then after a second, it shakes. It does so a few times, then a Jack-in-the-box with two blue balls either side of its face and one on top jumps out and sways forwards and backwards 3 times. The words "Tempo pre-school" appear in an arc via shining light, then the bedroom corner changes to a white background with the Jack-in-the-box in an oval.The Abbey Home Media logo is at the bottom right corner of the screen.

FX: The shaking of the box, the swaying of the Jack-in-the-box and the words appearing one by one via shining light.

Cheesy Factor: Well, the bad things I have to say are the swaying of the Jack-in-the-box and the words appearing by light. Also, the shaking of the box isn't much cop.

Music: A keyboard synth with an xylophone back-up, plus a quiet thudding sound when the box shakes, followed by a springing noise when the Jack-in-the-box jumps out. When the words appear via light, a twinkling sound occurs. This logo is on for 35 seconds!

Availability: Seen on many pre-school videos such as Fun Song Factory and Bumper Favourites plus other videos that are pre-school.

Scare Factor: None to low; it's a great logo, though some children get scared off by the Jack-in-the-box suudenly jumping out and swaying.
