Tempo Pre-School

1st Logo (1992-2005)
Nickname: "Jack-in-the-Box"

Logo: On a white background, we see a black-outlined oval with a drawing of a jack-in-the-box juggling three blue balls. The jack-in-the-box has red and yellow-green sides with red polka-dots clothing and a matching hat and a red spring. The box is blue with a yellow zigzag drawn on it. Above the jack-in-the-box is "Tempo pre-school" in red drawn font.

FX/SFX: None; it's a still logo.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Uncommon.
 * Seen on tapes in the Tempo Pre-School lineup during the early-to-mid 1990's.
 * Also seen without the oval at the start of the DVD of Mr Men: The Great Alphabet Hunt.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1996-2011)
Nickname: "Jack-in-the-Box II"

Logo: We see a blue box with yellow zigzags around it, in a corner of a bedroom. The camera revolves to the front of it, then after a second, it shakes. It does so a few times, then a jack-in-the-box (in its same style as before) with two blue balls either side of its face and one on top jumps out and sways forwards and backwards 3 times. The words "Tempo pre-school" appear in the same font and in an arc via shining light, then the bedroom corner changes to a white background with the Jack-in-the-box in an oval. The Abbey Home Entertainment logo appears at the bottom right corner of the screen.

FX/SFX: The shaking of the box, the swaying of the jack-in-the-box, and the words appearing one by one via shining light.

Music/Sounds: A keyboard synth with a xylophone back-up, plus a quiet thudding sound when the box shakes, followed by a springing noise when the Jack-in-the-box jumps out. When the words appear via light, a twinkling sound occurs.

Availability: Appears on many Abbey Home Entertainment, Just Entertainment and Abbey Home Media releases released under the label.
 * Fun Song Factory, WOW! That's what I call Nursery Rhymes and Bumper Favorites are a few examples, sometimes with the Tempo Video logo appearing before or after this on AHE releases.
 * It also appears on Wide Eye releases, and for some reason, the 2003 Prism Leisure DVD release of Mr Men: The Great Alphabet Hunt.

Editor's Note: The CGI looks pretty dated for 1996 standards, and still does today. Not to mention the logo retained the Abbey Home Entertainment logo even after that company was purchased by the Just Group in 2000 and changed their logo.
