Background

Taffy Entertainment was founded in 2004 to assist Mike Young Productions in distributing their programs. It was partially owned by the latter company and was eventually acquired by MoonScoop in October of 2005. Taffy was folded into MoonScoop in March of 2009.

1st Logo (November 8, 2004-October 4, 2006)

Visuals: Against a blue background, the word "TAFFY" in a rounded, white bubble font with several colors in it, slowly slides from the right side of the screen, and bounces afterwards. The text "ENTERTAINMENT" in white fades in.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The ending theme of the show and/or a stretching sound.

Availability:

Appears on Mike Young Productions shows from 2004 to 2006, such as season 1 of both ToddWorld and Pet Alien.
Seasons 1 and 2 of Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks also had this logo, but the logo is normally not seen whenever the show reairs.
This logo is normally plastered over with the next one on DVD releases.

2nd Logo (September 9, 2006-2009)

Visuals: Against a white background, the word "Taffy" slowly slides from the top of the screen, then bounces. A swinging yellow crescent, which is the same one as the MoonScoop logo, appears behind. The text "ENTERTAINMENT" in a box moves in, making the "y" letter bounce. Then, the MoonScoop byline fades in.

Variants:

A still version exists.
A black background version also exists, which appears on Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes and the last two seasons of Code Lyoko, respectively.
The logo may either be squished or stretched.
On some shows like Code Lyoko, the logo is shown via split screen with other production logos.
On the first season of Dive Olly Dive!, the MoonScoop byline is replaced with "presents MYP Programs".
Sometimes, the logo also shares the screen with other production logos.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A stretch sound, followed by a boing, some cartoon sound effects, and a ding.

Audio Variants:

Sometimes, it plays the ending theme of the show or none.
On Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes, it uses a seven-note guitar riff from the show, accompanied by echoed techno drumbeats and a clang when the box moves in.

Availability:

Appears on many MoonScoop shows produced from 2006-2009, like Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes, I Got a Rocket! (TV series), Growing Up Creepie, the English (U.S.) dub of Mix Master: King of Cards, season 2 of Pet Alien, and later seasons of Code Lyoko.
The still version appears on Code Lyoko games for NDS and PS2 and on Pet Alien for NDS.
This logo also appears on Cosmic Quantum Ray, early episodes of season 1 of Hero: 108, season 2 of ToddWorld and season 1 of Dive Olly Dive!.
It also appears on numerous DVD releases of MoonScoop material.
