Logo captures courtesy of bubblebear83 and chunky37

Background: Radical Sheep Productions is a Canadian children's television production company who's most popular production was The Big Comfy Couch. Founded in 1985 by Henson puppeteer Robert Mills, the company also once housed the "Sheep Shop", which provided puppet construction and design services until 2003 when it closed its doors.


1st Logo
(March 2, 1992-2000)

Nickname: "Baa!"

Logo: On a black background, there is a blue light in the lower right corner. In the center is "RADICAL SHEEP" in a bold white font. Below it, a star writes the words "Radical Sheep Productions", all in Mistral, with a little shine when it ends. Everything casts a shadow.

Variants:Radical Sheep Productions (1993-2004)
  • On one episode of The Big Comfy Couch, during the "Baa!" sound effect, the puppet of Molly (Loonette's doll) pops up in the bottom right corner of the screen moving her head upwards with her arms raised as if she’s jumping.
  • On Big Comfy Couch episodes from 1994-1995, there's no fading, cutting straght to the Owl Communications logo.
  • On Amigo and Me, the URL www.radsheep.com fades in below.
  • On Rufus The Dog the logo is still with the text already written and is very brief.

FX/SFX: The "Radical Sheep Productions" name writing.

Music/Sounds: A 5-note music box rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb", followed by a lamb bleating "beh-eh-eh-eh-eh!" starting in 1993, or none in 1992. From 1994 to 1995, the lamb bleating is delayed for a bit.

Music/Sounds Variant:On Amigo and Me the music box theme and “Baa!” are different sounding.

Availability: This logo can mostly be found on 1992-1996 episodes of The Big Comfy Couch, which can be found on VHS and DVD. The "Molly" variant is rare since it only appeared on one episode. It can also be found on Amigo and Me, Rufus the Dog, and Panda Bear Daycare.

Editor's Note:This logo is well remembered by those who grew up watching Big Comfy Couch and other Radicals Sheep shows. The Molly variant is also infamous for being one of the hardest and rarest logos to find.


2nd Logo
(2000-2006)

Nicknames: "The Winged Sheep" "Baa! II"


Logo: On a blue background, we see a gray sheep with orange wings in the background and the text "RADICAL SHEEP" written below in orange, with "RADICAL" in a futuristic font and "SHEEP" in between two curved lines.

Radical Sheep (2004)
Variant:On Land O’ Hands, the text is as big as the screen (although the sheep is the same size) and the top half of the background is purple while the bottom is covered in a shadow. There is copyright info and a website below saying:

c. Radical Sheep (Hands) Inc. 2000
www.radsheep.com

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1st logo only on the USA on PBS airings of The Big Comfy Couch. Starting with Land O’ Hands, the theme has been remade.

Availability: Seen on later episodes of The Big Comfy Couch and Land O’ Hands.

Editor's Note: This is a memorable logo for those who grew up later episodes of The Big Comfy Couch and Land O’ Hands



3rd Logo
(2010-2017)

Nickname: "The Winged Sheep II"

Logo: On a white background, a orange wing zooms out and quickly spins in a 360 degree loop, revealing the rest of the winged sheep from the previous logo. As it zooms out, "RADICAL" in the same font as before, writes in below and "SHEEP" fades in below and quickly moves up, with it and the 2 curved lines slowly moving away from each other. The logo slowly zooms out.

Variant: An early version of the logo exists where the sheep flies in, with its wings quickly flapping, and rests in its position. The text simply wipes in below and there is a copyright for Stella and Sam Productions along with a ISBN code.

FX/SFX
: The wing revealing, the text appearing below.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Currently seen on Fangbone!, The Next Step, The Bagel and Becky Show,
Ollie! The Boy Who Became What He Ate, and Stella and Sam, which had the early version.

Editor's Note: The animation is pretty simple on the early version.



4th Logo
(2017- )

Logo:TBA
