Nicknames: "The Bag", "Water Bag", "The Sliding Bag", "Sentient Bag"

Logo: On a background, a grocery bag filled with water (with a spotlight following it) drops down and slides to the middle of the screen, then does a pose. As this is happening, the water drips out of the bag. Below the logo are these words:

A BROWN BAG FILMS PRODUCTION FOR R.T.É. COPYRIGHT 1998

in white. The water then disappears before the logo ends.

FX/SFX: The bag moving and the water dripping out of the bag.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2000-2008)
Nickname: "The Bag II"

Logo: In a circle, we see the same bag from the last logo, but standing up. Another shape is part of it. This text is inside the shape:

B R O W N ® B A G FILMS

3rd Logo (2007-)
Nickname: "The Bag III", "The Paper Bag"

Logo: On a white- gradient background, a paper plane files on to the center-left side and turns into the bag from the previous logo. At the same time, a rectangle with "BROWN® BAG FILMS" in an Impact font on it folds in on the center-right side. "BROWN BAG" is in white, while "FILMS" is in on top of a smaller  rectangle.

Variants:
 * There is a short version which starts with the words flipping in. The logo is bigger here as well.
 * On some of their shows, the logo is still and in-credit.
 * There is also an animated in-credit variant.
 * Starting in 2014, "WE LOVE ANIMATION" is placed under the logo.

FX/SFX: The company name being flipped onto the brown rectangle and the grocery bag opening.

Music/Sounds: The normal version has light "thunk" sounds followed by children laughing. The short version just has the "thunk" sounds.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, the opening/ending theme plays over the logo.
 * On some episodes of Doc McStuffins, the sounds are quieter.

Availability: Common. Can be seen on some of the videos on their YouTube channel. The short version is seen on some of their shows such as Henry Hugglemonster, Doc McStuffins and others. The in-credit still version can be found on many shows, such as Bing and Octonauts which are both on CBeebies, Vampirina on Disney Junior, Nella the Princess Knight on Nickelodeon, as well as 9 Story-produced shows from the company.
