1st Logo (March 3, 1997-February 11, 2001)

Logo: On a black background, we see a stylized version of the MTV logo in red and with cartoony feet, and the letters "ANI" and "ATION" on its left and right sides. The toes on the feet in the logo wiggle.

FX/SFX: The toes of the logo wiggling.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Very rare. The logo previously appeared on seasons 1 to 4 of Daria, but the logo has been removed from further repeats. The logo is also missing on the DVD set Daria: The Complete Animated Series, but appears at the end of the episode "Daria!" and the TV movie Is It Fall Yet?. Also seen on the short-lived Downtown.

2nd Logo (February 19, 2001-April 13, 2003)

Nickname: "The Square Brackets"

Logo: On a black background, we see two white brackets with some characters or a title card from the respective show inside. The MTV logo is located below them, with "ANIMATION" next to it.

FX/SFX: Probably none.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on MTV Animation shows from the era such as season 5 of Daria, Undergrads and 3-South. However, the logo was not included on the DVD set Daria: The Complete Animated Series with the exception of the TV finale movie Is It College Yet?.

3rd Logo (June 10, 2006-July 8, 2007)

Logo: It's the same as the current logo for MTV Production Development, only the human shadows are replaced by those of Butthead, a buff man, a Transformers-esque robot and the Playboy bunny (from left to right). Butthead bumps the man, who strikes him down and looks at the robot and bunny, who are caught off-guard.

FX/SFX: The shadow animations.

Music/Sounds: A grunt, followed by a punch sound effect.

Availability: Was only seen on MTV2 cartoons, namely Where My Dogs At? and Friday: The Animated Series.
