Above that is "A" in magenta and below that is "PRODUCTION" and a copyright date in small black childish text.

FX/SFX: The clay objects moving; all stop-motion claymation.

Music/Sounds: 6 pops, 9 ukulele notes, and then 4 cello notes. This cycle repeats 3 times. This was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo.

Availability: Seen on all episodes of Pee Wee's Playhouse. The logo was revived for the Netflix film Pee-Wee's Big Holiday.

Editor's Note: A bizarre and quirky logo, fitting the character it is attached to.
