TVOKids

Background
TVO Kids is TVOntario's owned subunit and is the brand for most of the kids' programming aired by TVO in Canada for all of in within the Canadian province of Ontario, launched on 1 April 1994 and runs from 6:00am up to until 7:00pm every day daily. Also, the said TV channel itself is much likely aimed from preschoolers and elementary-aged children targeted at 2 to 12 years old. TVO Kids didn't yet have an onscreen logo up to until 2009.

1st Logo (2009-Late 2016)


Nickname(s): "The Boy with the Sign"

Logo: On a white background, a red person, which was the TVOKids mascot at the time, walks in from the right corner of the screen holding a red sign. The person stops in the middle of the screen, turns and faces the viewer, then lifts the sign in the air. As they the sign in the air, the words "tvo" and "kids" form on the sign.

Variants:
 * A still variant is seen on some shows.
 * An in-credit version exists.
 * A short version exists where it starts when the person holds up the sign.
 * On some shows, a copyright notice appears below the logo.
 * A black background is sometimes used.

FX/SFX: 3D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: The long version appears on shows such as Look Kool and Seasons 1-3 of Finding Stuff Out, and the short version appears on Dino Dan and some other shows.

Editor's Note: This is a fun, memorable logo for those that grew up watching Dino Dan, plus many other TVOKids shows from the past.

2nd Logo (Late 2016-)


Nicknames: "tvokids", "The "kids"'s Funny Actions", "The Gibberish Logo".

Logo: On a white background, we see the word "tvo" in a typewriter font. Next to it is "kids" in a different font, with the "o" having an eye and the "s" having teeth. All of the letters are in different colors. The letters in the word "kids" jump and dance, and then stop, with the eye and teeth disappearing.

Variants:
 * On Odd Squad, the black text "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH" is seen underlined above the logo. But even though, both CBBC and PBS airings don't show this logo at all.
 * The text is sometimes stacked instead of going across.
 * On The Space, Gisele's Big Backyard, and Big Backyard News shorts, a copyright notice in black is seen below the logo.
 * Sometimes, the logo has a white shadow on it.

FX/SFX: The "kids" text bouncing and moving.

Music/Sounds: An 8 note, light synth electronic tune, along with the "kids" text saying "whee" and laughing. A pop can be heard at the end.

Music/Sounds Variant: In other cases, the end theme of the show is used.

Availlablity: Can be seen on and newer seasons and episodes of Odd Squad (PBS Kids and Children's BBC airings of the said TV series don't have this logo seen appearing at all). The in-credit version appears at the end of Season 4 and onwards episodes of Finding Stuff Out, The Wacky Word Show (both of these shows plaster the Apartment 11 logo afterwards) and on Dino Dana, plus many other TV programs.

Editor's Note: None.
