1st Logo (1990s-1997)
Nickname: "The Pink Panties", "Mahou G-String"

Logo: On a black background, we see an outline of a woman's buttocks wearing a G-string. Then, the words "GREEN BUNNY" fly in to the top-left hand corner, leaving residue trails.

FX/SFX: Simple text animation.

Music/Sounds: A rising series of high-pitched synthesized "twinkles", which sounds like the one used in the Walt Disney Television "Abstract Castle" logo.

Availability: Can possibly be seen on hentai releases from the company. It was also seen on a Media Blasters DVD release of a censored version of Kite.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1997-2006)
Nickname: "The Chibi Bunnies", "Exploding Bunnies", "Part Bunny Part Ball"

Logo: On a black background, a ball flies toward the screen. This ball is quickly revealed to be part of a circular bunny that has white-green gradient fur, red eyes and a seemingly surprised expression. After the bunny jumps back, drawings of similar bunnies, outlined in various colors, appear and move all around the screen before exploding into dust. The main bunny begins to glow brighter and briefly becomes a 2D illustration before also exploding into dust, revealing a stylized "G" with an arrow that slightly zooms in. Various other bunnies like the main one then appear and, one-by-one, form the company name, "GREEN BUNNY". in an arc, and disappear as the logo shines.

FX/SFX: 2D and 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: A soft airy sound, followed by a soft hit. An ascending synth sound then plays with some quiet popping noises, then a beam sound is heard when the main bunny explodes. "Pew" sounds are heard when the bunnies form the text, ending with a bell synth ditty when the logo shines.

Availability: Like the previous logo, it can be seen on some hentai releases from the company. This can be also seen on Media Blasters DVD releases of them, most notably Mezzo-Forte.

Editor's Note: None.
