TV-Loonland AG

Background
TV-Loonland (formerly TMO Film and TMO-Loonland) was a German animation company. In 2000, they acquired the television arm of Sony Wonder, which included Sunbow Entertainment and its catalog and later on purchased the British home video company Metrodome Distribution. In 2008, Hasbro acquired the rights to the Marvel/Sunbow animated series based on their properties (The Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc.) from TV-Loonland. In 2009, the company filed for bankruptcy and in 2011 it was acquired by fellow German company m4e (Made For Entertainment) AG, a division of Belgian-based Studio 100.

2nd Logo (Late 1999? - 2009)
Nicknames: "The Sheep II", "That Paper Sheep", "The Connie the Cow Logo"

Logo: On a white background, a yellow rectangle fades in. After that, we see a dome zooming out and the "TV-LOONLAND AG" text flying out. After the logo forms, we see a sheep falling onto the dome. Then the logo freezes before it fades out or cuts to black.

FX/SFX: 3D CG animation, or none.

Music/Sounds: Some wind sounds, followed by some loud sheep sounds, the closing theme of the show, or silence.

Variants:
 * On the Echo Bridge Home Entertainment DVD print of Connie The Cow, after the logo fades out, we see yellow text in a serif font saying "This work has been registered in EGEDA. Work protected by the Audiovisuals Producers' Rights Administrations Body."
 * On some shows, such as The Cramp Twins and the Christmas special Donner, the entire logo is 2D and has a copyright notice on the bottom.
 * On Shadow Raiders, the logo is still, is on a black background, and the dome is a greenish cyan.

Availability: Rare.
 * The standard version appears as a de-facto home video logo on many British Metrodome Distribution releases of TV-Loonland material, as well as on episodes of Connie the Cow. A shortened version appears on Henry's World and Connie the Cow.
 * The still version appears at the end of some prints of Sunbow Entertainment's Hasbro cartoons as well as on The Cramp Twins, Hoze Hounds, Redwall and the TV special Donner.

Editor's Note: The loud sheep sounds make this logo spooky.
