Discovery Kids Originals

Background
Discovery Kids was launched in 1996. It was rebranded into The Hub (later known as Hub Network) in 2010. The Hub was rebranded again into Discovery Family in 2014.

1st Logo (1996-2002)
Logo: On a black background, we see the a CGI circle, it quickly turns around to reveal itself as the Discovery Kids logo (which consist of a CGI half of a planet and inside of has the planet earth. In front of it has the words "Discovery" in a Aurora Bold Condensed font and "KIDS" in orange. There's an orange earth orbiting in front of the logo. The logo rotates to the left as a copyright notice appears below.

Variant: Sometimes the url "discoverykids.com" is seen instead of a copyright notice.

FX/SFX: The reveal of the logo, the planet orbiting and the rotation of the logo.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on Truth or Scare episodes from the era when it was last seen on The Hub (now Discovery Family).

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2002-October 10, 2010)
Logo: On a fuchsia background we see a wordless Discovery Kids logo from before. Then, the white words "Discovery" starts appearing one by one and then followed by the word "KIDS" doing the same thing. While this is happening there is orange rings emitting from the logo, and there's a CG rocket flying around the logo with a trail following it. The rocket disappears but the trail then becomes a ring and dropping an orange earth planet with the continents being green. The ring bumps into the logo causing it to zoom forward and then back.

Variants:
 * On Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks, the text "Produced by Meteor the Monster Truck Company, LLC for" is seen above the logo.
 * A still version exists.
 * A variant exists where the background is seen in 16:9, however the animation (excluding one of the rings seen at the beginning) is still presented in 4:3.

FX/SFX: The logo, the rings, and the formation of the logo.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show or silence.

Availability: Very rare; it was seen after shows that aired on the channel like ToddWorld, and Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks, both of which preserve this logo when reran on Qubo. However, most other shows that used it don't air on TV anymore. It was preserved on on-demand prints of pre-Hub shows on-demand when the network became The Hub (as did airings of Grossology on said network), but these were rendered extinct after the network changed its name to Discovery Family. Despite this, it can still be seen on Kabillion prints of shows such as Growing Up Creepie and ToddWorld. Also intact on DVDs of their shows. The 16:9 variant can be seen on The Future is Wild on Tubi TV. This is also retained on Discovery Family airings (but not on the on-demand prints) of Kenny the Shark, said show usually airing every year during Discovery's Shark Week event.

Editor's Note: A fondly remembered logo for those who watched Discovery Kids in the 2000's.
