1st Logo (April 12, 2004-January 25, 2008)
Nickname: "Circle 9"

Logo: On a background, a white abstract "9" draws in. Multiple 9's of various size and shape then draw in, forming a circle. As this happens, the same "9" then forms a cote-out in the circle and "9 STORY" draws in with a similar effect. "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" then appears below.

Variants:
 * A still version exists, with the logo being smaller and either in-credit or on a or sky blue background.
 * There is also another in-credit variant seen on Skyland where the "9" is white.
 * A warp-speed version exists, which ironically is more common.

FX/SFX: The logo drawing in.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be found on season 3 of Max & Ruby, Skyland on Teletoon and Peep and the Big Wide World on TVOKids and DVD. Currently, this logo is being plastered by the next logo on episodes from the first two seasons of Peep and the Big Wide World when they air on PBS Kids.
