1st Logo/ID/Open
(1993)

Background: This was a fake company designed specifically for the Animaniacs episode "Baloney and Kids" to spoof the "Barney and Friends" home network, PBS.
Nicknames: The Warners' Heads, The Warners P-Heads, Yakko-Wakko-Dot P-Heads, PBS 1989 Spoof, ID/Funding Hybrid," "PBS 3D-Glass Spoof.

Logo/ID/Open/Warning: The heads of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot from Animaniacs turn a la the 1989 PBS ID in an anime like fashion. "SBS" fades in, then "Stupid Brodcasting Service" fades in also.

FX/SFX: The 3 Warners' (Yakko, Wakko, Dot) heads turning in an anime-like fashion.

Cheesy Factor: Cheap animation, but if you're a fan of "Animaniacs" or hate Barney, go figure. Also, this fits in air time or is funnier rather than having both a funding credits sequence and PBS ID at the same time.

Music/Sounds: A generic rather looping modernized version of the PBS 1971 ID's jingle, followed by a kid announcer saying "Baloney and Kids is brought to you by this station and other station which lack clever programming." to replace "Viewers Like You".

Availability: Can be seen on the Animaniacs episode "Baloney and Kids".

Scare Factor: High, the synth music is a very bad vibed generic version of the PBS 1971 ID, while the picture is a resemblance of the 1989 PBS ID if you're scared of it. Also, this is a hybrid funding credits sequence/station ID, so you'll might not like the funding part if you didn't like funding credits on PBS shows.
