1st Logo (September 10, 1988-1997)
Logo: On a background of blue-gray diagonal stripes, We see a city skyline with an orange/red gradient sky, bordered by a blue-gray frame with a shadow on the background. A large white sun emerges from the skyline. Then from the top right, the text "Chauncey Street Productions, Inc." spins and zooms in and places itself on the sun.

Variants:
 * On early Kids' Choice Awards, the logo appears superimposed in black and white. The frame looks like TV static instead of a solid border, and there is a large outline under the sun.
 * On Kids' Court, instead of the text spinning, it flies down to the sun. Also, the copyright stamp from the show's credits is present on the logo.
 * On The Movie Masters, it has the variant above, but the logo is in black and white and has no copyright stamp.
 * On Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: A Royal Pain in the News, the frame is absent, the sky is blue, and the sun is yellow.
