1st Logo
(1965-2002)

Variant: On It's Magic, Charlie Brown, the text falls as Snoopy and Woodstock fears after the cat cut his doghouse in half.

FX/SFX: None. But on It's Magic, Charlie Brown, the text falling.

Music/Sounds: Usually the intro of a movie, and the outro of a TV special or a TV show.
