Shadow Projects

Background
Shadow Projects was the television production company of Mitchell Kriegman founded on July 26, 1986, but they did not have a logo until October 20, 1997. It became dormant on April 28, 2006.

(October 20, 1997-April 28, 2006)
Nicknames: "The Barking Dog," "WOOF WOOF!", "The Shadow Dog"

Logo: On a white background, we see a black silhouette of a dog's head (similar to a Labrador Retriever) in a circle with "SHADOW PROJECTS" in the text-wrap effect around the bottom of the circle. The dog silhouette barks twice.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the company's website URL text "www.shadowprojects.com" is seen below the logo.
 * A shorter version exists after both a still screenshot of the house from Bear in the Big Blue House and the Disney Channel logo, it starts with the dog silhouette barks twice. This can be seen on UK prints of the said show.

FX/SFX: The dog barking. Still photo animation.

Music/Sounds: The ending of the show's theme, with a dog barking sound effect heard during the animation of the dog barking. On Bear in the Big Blue House, the barking is deep and low-pitched like a large dog, and on The Book of Pooh, the barking is higher-pitched and sounding more like a puppy with no additional accompaniments. Very rarely, It can even be heard without a noise to represent the animation. This can be seen on Disney+'s Spanish audio track for The Book of Pooh (specifically, S1E1).

Music/Sounds Trivia: The normal bark sound effect used in the Bear in the Big Blue House variant is identical to Pongo's bark during the "twilight bark" scene in 101 Dalmatians. This sound is called "Sound Ideas, DOG - LARGE DOG: SHARP BARKS, ANIMAL", which can be found in the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library.

Music/Sounds Variants: There have been many different variants of the logo on episodes of Bear in the Big Blue House where the usual sounds are replaced with that of a different one.
