Logo: On a white background, a misshapen purple rounded rectangle drops down from the top of the screen and bounces off the floor. The rectangle stops at the upper half of the screen, then rapidly turns 360 degrees, revealing a white cartoonish lowercase "b" that smacks itself onto the rectangle. Two green sticks come in from the right and go into the rectangle about half-way, one after the other, to create the "=" sign. Another misshapen rectangle, resembling a silhouette of the logo, bounces in the background, then throws itself onto the logo, creating a black outline. The black 3D letters "b EQUAL" ("b" in the same cartoonish style as the one on the logo) scurry under the logo and abruptly stop at the center. Below it, the text "Everyone Can Play. Anyone Can Win." zooms forward and the "TM" symbol fades in next to the name of the company. The logo stays for a few seconds, then slightly zooms backwards as it fades to black.

FX/SFX: The logo forming, and the text coming in. All in decent CGI for the time.
Music/Sounds: Various cartoony sound effects to represent the actions in the logo (i.e. A screeching sound when the "b EQUAL" text comes in), then a calm 8-note theme with twinkling sound effects when the logo is completely formed

Availability: Seen on b Equal's DVD trivia games, like Shrek: Totally Tangled Tales and Madagascar: Animal Trivia. The Madagascar movie on DVD also has a demo version of the trivia game with this logo.

Scare Factor: None to minimal. The cartoony sound effects might surprise you the first time around, but this logo is funny and harmless.
