1st Logo (February 14, 2002)

Logo: We see a red pencil on a white background. Surrounding the pencil are the words "A Mendelson-Melendez Production" in a childish font.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: ABC's generic theme. But on the DVDs and international prints, just the closing theme of the special.

Availability: Seen on A Charlie Brown Valentine on ABC reruns as well on the DVD release of special. Productions prior to this only used an in-credit notice.

2nd Logo (December 8, 2002-November 20, 2006)

Logo: We see a paintbrush on a white (or black) background, surrounded by a circular blue stroke around it. It is also surrounded by the words "MENDELSON" on the left of it, and "MELENDEZ" on the right, with the paintbrush serving as a slash.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the special. ABC airings instead use either a generic jingle or an announcer plugging a show following the special.

Availability: Can be seen on Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales, I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown and He's A Bully, Charlie Brown.
