1st Logo (1996-1999)
Nickname: "An MGM Spoof"

Logo: On a white background we see a cartoon drawing of a white dog with black spots, snout and ear inside a brown spiked collar with a brown dog's lead with a gold hook, in a spoof of the MGM logo. Below it has the text "A Tell-Tale PRODUCTION" with two lines on the top and bottom.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the direct-to-video series of Fun Song Factory and also appears on the 1998 GMTV series of the latter.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 6, 1999-December 23, 2006)


Nicknames: "The Abstract Face", "Tell-Tale Face"

Logo: On a white background, we see a black eyelid shaped oval with "Tell~tale" in it. The words: "A" and "Production for" is sandwiched between the logo. A abstract drawn face then draws itself from its bridge of its nose all the way to its swirly eye and a drawing of outline of a eyelid with eyelashes appears.

Variants:
 * On some shows, the logo is still.
 * On Boo!, the show’s titular character appears on the bottom and waving.
 * During the last two years of the logo's existence (2005-2006), the logo was altered to read "Tell~tale Productions".

Byline: Starting from 2004, the byline "A Division of Entertainment Rights Plc" appears below the logo following it's acquisition.

FX/SFX: The abstract drawn face draws itself, the eyelid drawing appearing.

Music/Sounds: Usually silent or an end theme from its program.

Availability: Seen on many shows such as Tweenies, later episodes of Fun Song Factory, Boo!, BB3B and ''Wow! That's What I Call Nursery Rhymes''.

Editor's Note: Some may be freaked out by the crudely drawn face.
