Mike Young Productions

Background
First known as Kalisto Ltd. in Wales, this company debuted in 1982 as a joint venture between Mike Young and John Parkinson by producing animated series for children until that division became Siriol in 1992. When Mike Young obtained full control of the company in 1997, he made a second studio in United States, called Mike Young Productions. Between 2005 and March of 2009, the company became part of the MoonScoop Group until its' dissolution.

1st Logo (September 12, 1998-June 21, 2008)
Nickname: "The Spinning Signature"

Logo: On a black background, we see a yellow oval slowly rotating to face us, with a spotlight shining on it. Over the oval is "Mike Young" in blue script, and below it is "PRODUCTIONS", also in blue with white fronts.

Variants:
 * The logo may appear more zoomed in on some shows.
 * A version with a white background and a more print-looking logo was seen on the licensed video game Butt-Ugly Martians: Zoom or Doom for PS2. The print-looking variant also appeared in-credit on German prints of Pet Alien. Proof exists here:.
 * On the 2001 series of Horrible Histories, it is shown with curtains.
 * On some shows, the logo is shown via split screen with other production logos.
 * A widescreen version exists and can be seen on Polly Pocket: Lunar Eclipse as well as more recent prints of Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks.
 * On Bratz: Genie Magic and season 1 of Bratz (TV series), there is a byline that reads "A MoonScoop Company".
