Open Mind Productions

(1993-2009)


Nickname: The Blue Head

Logo: On a customized or black background, we see a blue head, with it's top being seperated from the rest of the head. In between the head are the words "OPEN" and "MIND". Under them is the word "PRODUCTIONS".

Variants:
 * An early version exists where text "An Open Mind Production" is seen below the head.
 * There is a version where the word "An" is seen on the top of the head and the text under the head and below it now reads "PRODUCTION".
 * On the last two episodes of Xcalibur, the EllipsAnime logo is at the top, the Open Mind Productions logo is at the middle, and the YTV (Canada) logo is at the bottom after the credits stops scrolling up against a black background with the blueish gray color sword.

FX/SFX: None. The appearing-pieces transition for The Number Crew variant. The cross-fades from the credits for the Numberjacks variant. The closing credits scrolling up for the Xcalibur variant.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Music/Sound Variants:
 * On some episodes of The Shiny Show it's silent (because the full closing theme plays only on the show's credits and then a short sequence from the show came before the logo appears).
 * On the season 1 episode "Fire Station", the fire engine sound was heard during the closing theme.
 * On the season 1 episode "Fun in the Fair" the funfair music plays throughout the credits.
 * On the season 2 episode "Cheesemaking", the last part of the closing theme plays after the sequence that interrupts the credits (similar to "Hairdressers").
 * On Polish prints of the latter, there is a Polish voice-over after the closing theme.
 * On Ready Set Learn, the announcer was heard while instrumental version of The Paz Show theme plays.
 * On the Numberjacks season 2 episode "Counting Down to Christmas", an ominous bell note plays over the closing theme's last note.

Availability: Appears on The Number Crew, Rat-A-Tat-Tat, The Word Machine, Maths Mansion, The Shiny Show, Paz, Xcalibur and Numberjacks.

Editors Note: None.
