Logos[]
1st logo (August 31, 1993-June 13, 1995)[]
On a white background, we see the Sony logo. At the same time, a green box with the word "WONDER" (In a decorative font), shrunken, falls from the top-middle screen to the bottom-middle screen. Once it hits the bottom, it bounces back up, spreading and widening itself as it goes. It then makes a stop below,
2nd logo (June 27, 1995-September 18, 2007; February 25, 2014-September 19, 2023)[]
We see a background playing backwards. The word "WONDER" (in Herman font, more simple from before), in a pink ribbon, then flies from the top-right to the bottom of the screen and stops in the center. The ribbon turns blue, and we then see a CGI yellow sun appear in place of the "O" in "WONDER" via a cheesy light effect. The Sony logo fades in at the top of the ribbon. The end result is almost the same as the first logo.
Variants[]
- On some tapes and DVDs, there is a short version, which starts with the logo being formed.
- A still widescreen version of the different cloud background has been spotted on the 2014 DVD of The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale and the 2016 DVD of The Swan Princess: Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today, among other current Swan Princess titles.
- The color of the CGI yellow sun in "WONDER" can vary. On nearly all Sony releases, the CGI sun is in gold-yellow. On many Sesame Street VHS releases from late 1996-early 1998 such as Sing Yourself Sillier, At the Movies and Kids' Guide to Life: Telling the Truth, is in orange-yellow. On early 1996 Sesame Street VHS releases such as Elmocize and Rock & Roll, the logo appears brighter, making the CGI sun appear in a white-tinted color.
- On widescreen DVD releases from the company, the logo is out and the entire logo is layered place on a baby blue background.
3rd logo (November 14, 2006-June 28, 2007)[]
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, making it a sun, then spin around. The lines blur, then are re-drawn. The sun bounces to the middle of the screen, where the text, 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).
4th logo (October 13, 2009)[]
On the website's generic background, we see the text "Sony wonder" in bold and in a white color.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
None.
2nd logo[]
When the logo starts, we hear a riveting string note being held out, and when the ribbon, descending harp notes play in-sync with the ribbon. As the ribbon is in its position with the sun appearing, a brief flute melody plays, and when the Sony logo appears, everything rises to a majestic note complete with tubular bells that slowly stops once the logo fades. This is all, with some samples produced on the E-mu Proteus 2 Orchestral synthesizer.
3rd logo[]
We hear a quick jet zooming sound, then several xylophone notes and a "TWING!" as the circular su As the sun spins around, there is several drum taps, then
4th logo[]
None.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
None, though a little boring (however not as much as the fourth logo).
2nd logo[]
None, this is a beautiful logo. However, low to medium for people who don't like the synthesized instruments.
3rd logo[]
Minimal. The fast animation might get to some, but it's harmless.
4th logo[]
None. It's boring and bland, however.
