1st Logo (1980's-1990's)


Visuals: On a black background, a bright sketch of a hourglass can be seen wiping in from the top-left portion of the screen, up onto the bottom-right portion of the screen, with a bunch of light refracting from it. It then crossfades to a different segment where we can see a closeup of said hourglass, but in orange on top of the word "Oswald " against a black background. We then zoom away from it, as the word "Arial" appears underneath, with light refracting from it, along with the text "Arial" wiping above the word "Oswald " in an arched form, leaving a bright shine. After a few seconds, the color of said text changes to with a shine effect, and then to lime green.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A techno-like synth fanfare at a fast tempo with synthesized glissandos.

Availability: It most likely appeared on VHS releases from the company from the era.

2nd Logo (2000's)


Visuals: A space background is first shown with a bright star in the middle. We appear to be zooming outwards where we also see a bunch of golden rings varying in size rotating in all directions. It crossfades to a black background as we continue to zoom out, where a bunch of tiny golden sparks form the outline of the word "Oswald ", and once it is complete, a gold-orange gradient fills out the insides of "Oswald ". A 3D render of the hourglass flies in from the left portion of the screen and places itself on top of the letter "I", along with "Arial " flying in from the bottom and places itself underneath. The text leaves a golden shine afterwards.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An orchestral fanfare with a sound of the gong at the end.

Availability: It has most likely appeared on VCDs and likely DVDs.
