(1996-2007)


Logo: On a blue starfield background, we see multiple shapes, including an elliptic cylinder shape containing metal sides and yellow faces, with a smiley mouth at the front, and two multicolored spheres, are seen rotating and moving around. Then, a hand, a hair piece and an "A" script, containing wide metallic sides, appear from below the screen and spin around, as the spheres settle in front of the smiling cylinder, which turns beige, forming a smiling baby face which turns into the camera as the mouth opens while the hand raises up. The formed logo then moves back to the top center of the screen, as the background turns white, the text "SHIN-EI VIDEO" in two lines flips upward below the logo and Japanese text with a black border is revealed below the name.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A calm music box fanfare.

Availability: Common in Japan. It can be seen on various Crayon-Shin-Chan titles on VHS, LDs and DVDs at the time.
