Introduction[]

Note: This is a dream logo; you cannot see this in real life!


Background[]

This is the television division of Vyond Pictures that makes shows based off their films and licensed property. Vyond Television's logo started to appear 5 years before Vyond Pictures' logo. Their first show was Eric's Programme, which premiered on November 23rd, 1980. All of their programming were initially broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Company, but their contract was terminated in 1984. All of their logos use Eric, a Comedy World character, and later versions only use his top half. Their signature music is a piano/music box jingle. When GoAnimate changed to Vyond, so did GoAnimate Television. In 2017, they bought The Ducis Company.

Vyond Television/Vyond Productions TV[]

1st logo[]

(May 7, 2018-January 21, 2020)

Nickname: "Crazy TV", "The TV Dance Party!"

Logo: On a white background, we see a TV. It starts to shake, and lightning comes out of the antenna. The TV explodes to reveal the Business Friendly version of the dancing characters and the text "Vyond Television".

Variants:

  • On some DVDs, the TV is replaced by a disc. The lightning is at the center of the disc. Plus, we just see Eric standing instead of the characters dancing.
  • On the short-lived series, We Dem Sue, the logo is still except for the characters dancing.

FX/SFX: The TV shaking and exploding, the lightning and the characters, all animated on Vyond.

Music/Sounds: We hear jingling sounds when the TV shakes, electric sounds when lightning comes out of the antenna, and once the characters are seen, a booming pop tune is heard.

Music/Sounds Variant: On We Dem Sue, the closing theme of the show is heard.

Availability: This logo debuted on Commercial Compilations from Eric and was last seen on the Business Friendly episode "Tom's Socks" (the only episode with this logo). The DVD variant is spotted on Commercial Compilations from Eric and Ryan's World releases of this era.

Editor's Note: Same as the Vyond Pictures logo.

2nd logo[]

(January 12, 2020-June 14, 2021, September 7, 2023)

Logo: Same as before, but we see Jack Paul instead of the characters and no text is seen. We then zoom to his shirt and then we see an orange circle, which turns to the Vyond logo on an orange background with "Television" under and the PPYBEN Byline (on the Business Friendly episode "A Surprise of a Lifetime", we instead see the Vyond byline).

Variant: On programs released on Wrapper: Offline, the original Comedy World versions of the four characters dancing replaces Jack.

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, but the booming pop tune is longer.

Avabillity: Debuted on Business Friendly. While this logo was retired, the logo reappeared on the Business Friendly episode "A Surprise of a Lifetime" instead of the next.

Editor's Note: Same as before.

3rd logo[]

(June 18, 2021-)

Logo: The Vyond Corporation Television logo transitions to the same concept of the previous logos, but this time, after the TV explodes, the TV is still here and has the same logo from before with the Vyond byline inside the TV.

Variants:

  • For Wrapper: Offline programs, just like the previous, the characters dancing is now replacing the logo and the logo is under the characters.
  • For old shows, the logo is in 4:3 rather than 16:9.
  • An in-credit variant exists on the US dub of Colourblocks (plastering the CBeebies logo) and Regular Show: The Ultimate Continuation.
    • On later episodes of Colourblocks and all episodes of Regular Show: The Ultimate Continuation, the regular logo plays afterwards.
  • On David Drums' Vyond ChiBlock series, like Darn David, Silly School Education, Learning Time Fun and Easy English, the TV has a 16:9 screen and is stretched because of that. The TV instead displays the older 2018 Vyond logo in white on an orange (though on Silly School Education and Easy English, the BG is black) background, with "TELEVISION" under the logo. We then zoom into the TV screen until it fills the screen. "Produced for" in white fades in on the top afterwards. A similar concept would be used for the next logo. On X (formerly Twitter), Darn David's creator (who also created Silly School Education, creator: David Drums) eventually said that "I do not like the 2022 Vyond logo. I loved the 2018 one better, so for my shows, I will always use the 2018 logo."
    • On later episodes of Colourblocks (after the in-credit variant), the 2022 Vyond logo is displayed on the TV instead and the background is blue. The "Produced for" text is replaced by "Produced in the US by". Colourblocks wasn't created by David Drums, which is why the 2022 logo was used.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous 2.

Music/Sounds: The same jingling sounds and electric sounds, but this time a choir when the logo is seen (ala the HBO logos).

Avabillity: Debuted in the 2nd season of Business Friendly. Also appears in the US dub of Colourblocks on Vyond, plastering the CBeebies logo. With the next logo being used on Poppy Playtime, this logo might get retired, and more shows started using the next logo. However, it still appears on episodes of Business Friendly (except for A Business Friendly Christmas) and Caillou's Older Life.

Vyond Productions TV[]

1st logo[]

(August 5, 2023-)

Logo: Pretty similar concept to the preschool variant of the previous logo. The current Vyond Company Television logo transitions to this logo like last time. The TV, now in an upgraded silver CGI design, drops down on a white background. The TV's screen turns on to see static, which switches to the 2022 Vyond logo on a blue background with "PRODUCTIONS TV" under the text. We zoom into the TV as the byline fades in below.

Bylines:

  • August 5-September 30, 2023: "A Vyond Company"
  • September 30, 2023-present: "A Company of Vyond and Amazon Groups"

Variants:

  • An in-credit variant appears on Regular Show: The Ultimate Continuation starting with "Happy Anniversary!". Like the previous logo, the normal one plays after.
  • On the Vyond ChiBlock show Learning Time Fun, the 2018 Vyond logo appears instead on an orange background. David Drums created the show, which explains why the 2018 logo was used.

FX/SFX: Updated CG animation, this time by Tanner Technologies.

Music/Sounds: A thump sound when the TV drops down, and static noises that lead to a 2-note tune. A whoosh is also heard when the camera zooms in.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • On the Poppy Playtime finale "It's Playtime!" and current prints of the We Dem Sue episode "Sue's Commercials", the opening theme plays over this logo, but the thump, static and whoosh sounds are heard. At the end of the former episode, we hear Huggy Wuggy in the background say, "Bye-Bye Kids!".
  • On Regular Show: The Ultimate Continuation and reprints of We Dem Sue, we hear the end theme over the in-credit variant (on the former) or the normal logo (on the latter).

Availabillity: Brand new. First seen on the TV adaption of Poppy Playtime on Netflix, alongside both Netflix and Wammawii logos at the beginning and end, and also later appeared on both Fionna and Cake (after the Frederator and Cartoon Network Studios logos and before the Max (or Vyond+ on Vyond+ prints) logo) and Regular Show: The Ultimate Continuation starting with "Happy Anniversary!". The first preschool show to use it was Learning Time Fun (as of Season 3). It also appears plastering the 2018 logo on current prints of We Dem Sue when it was added on Vyond+. It also appears at the end of A Business Friendly Christmas, released in November 30, 2023. Used in tandem with the previous logo.

2nd logo (David Drums variant)[]

(August 31, 2023-)

Logo: We see the white 2018 Vyond logo pop in on an orange background with the same 'PRODUCTIONS TV" text from before fading in. We then see the byline. Here, a different version of the 2021 Vyond Company logo is reused (unlike the previous David Drums variants where they all use the 2022 or 2023 Vyond Company logo).

Bylines:

  • August 31, 2023: "A Vyond Company"
  • September 30, 2023-present: "A Company of Vyond and Amazon Groups"

FX/SFX: Simple animation.

Music/Sounds: The same 2 note tune from before.

Availabillity: Current. This was a special David Drums variant for his shows, but is first seen on Darn David starting with "Back to School Darn David", and later appeared on newer episodes of Easy English and Silly School Education. Learning Time Fun uses the previous logo's variant.
