Piwi+

Background
Piwi+ (formerly Piwi) is a French pay television channel for children aged 3 to 6, owned by the Canal+ Group. Piwi was first launched on October 20, 2002 as a preschool block on Télétoon for Les Minitoons, and then on December 3, 2003 as the preschool channel from Télévision Par Satellite. In 2007, TPS merged with its competitor Canalsat. In 2016-2017, Piwi+ became a Canal+ exclusive all around the world. It is also distributed on VOO in Belgium and Teleclub Les + in Switzerland.

1st Logo (2002-2010)


Nickname: "Télétoon's Sister"

Logo: On a black/white background, we see the shaded text "piwi" in a custom font and a 3D sunshine yellow and amber sun (the mascot of Piwi, dotting the second "i"). Then the sun looks at the viewers, smiles, and winks. Underneath is the byline, whose animation varies depending on which byline.

Bylines:
 * 2002-2003: "Une société Télétoon" (A Télétoon Company)
 * 2003-2006: "Une société TPS" (A TPS Company)
 * 2007-2010: "Une société Canal+" (A Canal+ Company)
 * On some TV shows, the logo is bylineless. If this was used during the Télétoon era, the Télétoon logo would follow.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the website address (www.piwi.fr) is seen below the logo.
 * Sometimes, the copyright information is seen below the logo.
 * An opening variant exists where the text "Piwi Présente" is seen on a sky blue background with a rainbow. This variant appears at the beginning of previews from the time.
 * On TV shows, the logo is still. On later episodes of Willa's Wild Life, it appears above the 1990 TF1 logo.

FX/SFX: Cute CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The opening/closing theme of the show.

Availability: Rare. Seen on Les Vacances de Piwi, Bouge avec Mimik, later episodes of Willa's Wild Life and Au pays des signes.

Editor's Note: This logo is cute and memorable for those who grew up with it.

2nd Logo (May 17, 2011-)
Nicknames: "Télétoon+'s Sister"

Logo: We see a sunshine yellow sun with a cute little smiling face. We see two kiwi green circles, and on the center of the circles, we see a kiwi green rectangle with the white text "piwi+" in the same custom font from before. The logo is an in-credit logo.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on newer Piwi+ original programming such as Molang.

Editor's Note: A cute logo with nice CGI animation and beautiful music.
