1st Logo (1997-Late 2001)


Visuals: A white flash reveals the word "TELEVISION" moving towards the left, over a black background. A light flare follows the text as it slowly dissipates. Suddenly, a red stamp rapidly zooms onto the screen, reading "IMPOSSIBLE". The background turns white, and "TELEVISION" reappears below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The end theme of the show.

Availability: It appears at the end of the pilot/Christmas special from Audrey and Friends.

2nd Logo (Late 2001-2004)

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: It appears at the end of MechaNick.

3rd Logo (2005-2013)
