Background: From their debut all the way to August 1998, Teletoon began airing IDs which were based on individual planets with their own unique art-style which will change after a certain period of time passes. Claymation for the morning, cel-animation for afternoon, collage-animation for the evening, and paper-mache at night. At around August 1998, these were replaced by more generic / regular IDs. Some of them being made by Guru Animation.

Planet Spin Filler / General I.D (1997 - 1998) Teletoon General ID (1997)

Nicknames: "Teletoon Planets", "Ahhh

ID:On a starry space background, a golden telescope is seen, with the refractor spinning around clockwise once before lifting itself up a little with the aperture pointed right in front of the screen and zooms in with the refractor turn back and forth a little until the camera zooms right into the lens. Through the lens, the telescope focuses on 4 completely different planets, each with their own unique look and set against a barrage of stars : A pink planet, rotating counterclockwise on its Y-axis, which is filled with craters either seemingly alive, filled with alien creatures, or vacant. This is the morning planet and is made with claymation. A metal planet, rotating counterclockwise on its X-axis at a slight angle, which appears to be sketchy, rough, and haphazardly built with multi-colored parts jutting out from the pale blue surface. This is the afternoon planet and is made with flat 2D animation. A strange planet, which doesn't rotate, which has a pink/blue gradient sky and has several things going on at once. This is the evening planet and is made with collage animation. It does have a fisheye look to it. A dark planet, which rotates clockwise on its X-axis, which appears to be small but has several tall skyscrapers jutting from it, all seemingly dark and deteriorated. This is the night planet and is made with paper-mache animation. After the night planet moves away, the lens zooms in and the Teletoon logo at the time slides in to the left. It consists of "TELE" in a tall blue font with raised tops on the E's (possibly to be cross-compatible for the French version, which has acute accents over them) and "TOON" in a handwritten font, which has filled sections in the O's, blue circles, and a red swish below it, forming a smiling face. The logo also switches through 4 different variants in the same style as their planets. The 2D version has the eyes move, and the night version has the letters pop forwards, but all of them shake slightly and move a bit.

FX/SFX:Everything, this was all done with claymation, paper-mache, college, and cel animation from Cuppa Coffee Studios.

Music/Sounds:A somewhat chaotic and strange tune, with several voices, noises, and instruments heard throughout. When the Teletoon logo appears, a 3-note whistling tune can be heard, which would be the main theme for the channel.

Availability:Extinct. This was seen on the launch.

Editor's Note: The bizarre music and confusing concepts can pretty much unnerve those who seen it for the 1st time.

Morning Planet: Tugg-a-War (1997 - 1998) Teletoon Tuggawar (1997)

ID:We see two muscled aliens on the pink morning planet struggling to pull a rope, we then pan to the right to see a red little alien pinching onto the rope only with his right hand while observing his left hand and then faces towards the screen and waves. Then the Teletoon logo, smushed into a ball, is seen coming from the top of the screen and is then the ball reverts back into the Teletoon logo. The action behind the logo then is blurred and a blue border is seen surrounding it while the letters and the face on the logo starts to shake a little.
