Logo: We see the green "Jim Henson" logo in its corporate font, zoom out of the screen. A blue floating light glows behind it, which then moves to the left of the logo and changes to a red color. It then moves under the logo and draws a red underline while "INTERACTIVE" "drops down" along it. Sparks be seen forming under the red line as it is drawn under the logo. The light then flies off-screen and returns to the top of the logo (in it's blue color again) to recreate the familiar "dot the I" sequence seen in other Jim Henson logos, however this time the light explodes upon impact with the "i," leaving behind several falling particles.

Trivia: The font seen on the "Jim Henson" name is Jim Henson's signature.

Variants:
  • On Spy Muppets for GBA, the logo was on white background, and the red underline replaced with the black one.
  • On Muppet Pinball Mayhem, Kermit's head is attached above the logo.
  • An extended variant exists on Muppet Racemania, which opens with a zoomed-in pan of the "Jim Henson" text, illuminated by the blue floating light. The camera then zooms out to a comfortable distance while the blue light flies to the top-left of the logo, and the whole thing plays then as normal.

FX/SFX: The ball of light moving around, as well as the "sparks" that appears when it draws the red line and the lighting effects that can be seen on the logo. For the variants, none.

Music/Sounds: After a drum roll, an orchestral rendition of The Rainbow Connection is played, which is then followed by a 10-note chime tune. Various sounds can be heard throughout the logo-"swoosh" sounds when the light moves around, a twinkling sound as the light draws the red line under the logo, and firecracker sound effects as "sparks" appear from the ball of light when it draws the red line and when the ball of light explodes during the "dot-the-I" sequence.
The Muppet Racemania variant has an extended opening for the panning of the Jim Henson text, and Gonzo’s screamsand yelps of excitement can also be heard throughout.

Availability
: Can be seen on Farscape: The Game. Also appears on Muppet Racemania, The Hoobs, Spy Muppets: License to Croak, and Muppet Monster Adventure for PlayStation.
