Logo:   On a white background, we see a blue dome zoom out while a yellow    rectangle shows up. Then the words  TV-LOONLAND AG" appear. After the   logo forms, a sheep falls down and lands on the dome. Early Variant: The "TV''" is replaced with "TMO"; this variant also has the text in a different font, not in italics and with "LOONLAND" lighter-colored than "TMO". TMO Loonland was TV-Loonland AG's former name.

Variants:

Music/Sounds: Some wind sounds, followed by loud sheep "BAA!" sounds. Sometimes, it is the closing theme of the show or none. Availability: Rare.
 * A still variant on a black background exists.
 * Sometimes, the word AG is removed.
