2nd Logo (2000-2009)
Nicknames: "The Sheep Returns", "The Paper Sheep", "Sheep Is Back On A Dome", "The Connie the Cow Logo"

Logo: On a white background, a yellow rectangle fades in. After that, we see a blue dome zooming out and the "TV-LOONLAND AG" text flying out, radiating a shadow that really moves behind the rectangle. After the logo forms, we see a sheep falling onto the dome. Then the logo freezes before it fades out or cuts to black.

Variants:
 * On the Echo Bridge Home Entertainment DVD print of Connie The Cow, after the logo fades out, we see a text saying "Serif"
 * On some shows, such as The Cramp Twins and the Christmas special Donner, the entire logo is 2D and has a copyright notice on the bottom.
 * On some shows, the text and dome are a greenish cyan and is on a black background.
 * Sometimes, the "AG" is absent from the logo.
 * An in-credit version exists.

FX/SFX: 2D-looking CGI animation, or none.

Music/Sounds: 10% of whoosh sounds followed by loud sheep noises, the closing theme of the show, or silent.

Availability: Rare.
 * The standard version appears as a de-facto home video logo on many UK Metrodome releases of TV-Loonland material. It also appears on 'Letters from Felix and most airings of Connie The Cow. It also was tacked onto the end of a Salty's Lighthouse'' episode included on the "Toddler Time!" compilation DVD released in the UK.
 * A shortened version appears on Henry's World and US Noggin prints of Connie the Cow (now Nick Jr.).
 * The white background still version can be seen on The Cramp Twins (including the first DVD/VHS release), Hoze Hounds, Redwall and the TV special Donner.
 * The black background still version can be found at the end of episodes of shows found on post-2005 Metrodome DVDs, such as Volumes 2-5 of The Cramp Twins and Sunbow Entertainment's Hasbro cartoons.
 * The in-credit version only appears on Pat & Stan.

Editor's Note: The loud sheep sounds make this logo scary. Also, the animation in this logo is choppy and looks cheap.
