Sony Wonder

Nicknames: "Cheesy Sun", "Flash Sun", "Twirling Sun"

Logo: On a white background, we see a crudely drawn gold circle that zooms incredibly close to the screen, then pans back, followed by rapid flashing. Several lines appear across the circle, turning it into a sun, then spin around. The lines blur, then are re-drawn. The sun bounces to the middle of the screen, where the text "SONY", in its corporate font, slides in from the left and bumps the logo. "WONDER", also in the Sony logo font, then slides in from the right and makes the logo positioned correctly. The sun rays spin around one more time and wiggle around (a la the animation style of Ed, Edd n Eddy).

Variants:


 * On some releases, the text sonywonder.com fades in over the "WONDER" text.
 * Sometimes the logo is bylineless.

FX/SFX: Simple Flash animation.

Music/Sounds: We hear a quick jet zooming sound, then multiple xylophone notes and a "TWING!" as the circular sun zooms back. As the sun spins around, we hear several drum taps, then three bouncing sounds. two "dwong" sounds are heard as the Sony Wonder logo is finally formed, followed by an ascending twinkle.

Availability: Rare. Appears on the company's later releases, such as the last few Sesame Street releases from Sony Wonder, as well as several Canadian Caillou DVDs from this time such as Caillou The Builder and Caillou The Brave.

Editor's Note: This is one of the least memorable logos from Sony Wonder. However, it is far better than the next logo...

4th Logo (October 13, 2009)
Nicknames: "The Generic Background", "The Text of Laziness"

Logo: On the lighted environment background (similar to the website at the time), we see white words that spell "Sony wonder", in the same plain, bold font like the print logo at the time (with the black drop-shadow at the right) on the center of the screen.

FX/SFX: None, except the fade in and out.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare. It can be spotted on Playmobil: The Secret of Pirate Island.

Editor's Note: Of all the Sony Wonder logos, this is probably the most forgettable of them all, not just because of how it supposedly appeared on only one film, but also just because of how rushed it feels.
