4th Logo (October 10, 2010-2016)


Visuals: On a white background, there is "AMERICAN GREETINGS" in its corporate font at the bottom, without the "I" in "GREETINGS". A red person clad in a cape spins around to us as the cape floats upwards, on top of the text, and has the "I" as if it were a magic wand. He winks, waves it, and then spins around. He transforms into the American Greetings rose logo as the "I" falls into place.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A four-note chiptune tune, followed by a boing sound.

Audio Variants:
 * Sometimes, the end theme plays over it or none.
 * On Maryoku Yummy, high-pitched ascending sparkles are heard, followed by four crystallized notes. This is actually based on a musical cue that plays when the wishes disappear and get granted.

Availability: Seen on The Twisted Whiskers Show, Maryoku Yummy, Packages from Planet X, Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot, and Care Bears & Cousins.
