Henson International Television

(1983-1989)
Visuals: In the final shot of the end credits of The Muppet Show when Zoot blows his saxophone, a white bubble flies out of the sax with the Henson Associates logo of the time (with "ha!" and "HENSON ASSOCIATES" replaced by "hit!" and "HENSON INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION" respectively) displayed on it and takes its place in the centre of the screen, to the amusement of the audience. Zoot is also rather bewildered by the bubble, looking around and inside of his saxophone before he looks at us confused.

Variant: At least two takes of the footage of Zoot were used for this logo, one with his hat and one without.

Technique: Live-action overlaid with early computer animation.

Audio: The ending theme, followed by Zoot blowing his saxophone, and then followed by laughter and applause.

Availability:
 * It only appears on international prints of The Muppet Show, including UK broadcasts on BBC1 from 1986 until 1987. Later prints of the series replace this logo with others (eg, Jim Henson Home Entertainment, or a Muppets Holding Company copyright notice).
