1st Logo
(1984-Late 80's)
<embed allowfullscreen="true" height="250" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/973fabbb2ce4afb2c8d40487b9de0dc591983528" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="303" wmode="transparent"/>
Logo: On a blue/black gradient background, we see many lines forming a star shape. The lines wiggle a bit while there forming. The lines become gold and the lines inside the star disappear. The star flies over a red ribbon shape which flies down from the top of the screen. The word "Children's" falls letter by letter with a star dotting the I. The ribbon flies on screen with two oblong shapes with "The" in one of the shapes. The star from before flies down with a trailing effect and lands on one of the shapes, wiping in the word "Channel" and resting next to it. A red and while line appears in the words at the near end.
Variant: There was a short version which is a little bit different with has the main part already formed and with the shapes flipping in instead of coming out of the main part and one with a rotating star instead of the lines.
FX/SFX: The lines, the logo forming.
Cheesy Factor: The CGI was top-notch during its time period, but now it's a little primitive.
Music/Sounds: A bouncy synthesizer tune. The short version has a short version of the tune.
Availability: Extinct.
Scare Factor: Low, bordering on medium. The tune, as well as the quite dark nature, sudden appearance of the lines, length, and wired animation of the star can scare some, but this is a favorite of many.
2nd Logo
(1989-1991)
Logo: On a grey background, we see bubbles and pictures of the shows showed up on that channel for the time. The logo that has a more print look zooms out from the right of the screen.
FX/SFX: The bubbles and zooming.
Music/Sounds: A harp and flute rediation of the first tune.
Availability: Extinct.
Scare Factor: None.
3rd Logo
(1991)
Logo: On a white background, we see "Children's Channel" being typing out one by one with flashing screens with CC. The text scrolls across the screen and then bounces down from the top of the screen.
FX/SFX: The flashing and text.
Music/Sounds: A rock tune.
Availability: Extinct.
Scare Factor: Low.
