*On some tapes and DVDs, there is a short version, which starts with the logo being formed. This can mainly be found on trailers. | *On some tapes and DVDs, there is a short version, which starts with the logo being formed. This can mainly be found on trailers. | ||
*An early version of this logo exists on Nickelodeon tapes such as ''Rocko's Modern Christmas'', ''Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: Monsters Night Out'', and ''Ren & Stimpy: Nothing But Shorts''. The light effect never moves and is much brighter, and the music composure is also different. This also had a shorter version on ''A Rugrats Passover''. | |||
*A still widescreen version of the logo with a 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''. | *A still widescreen version of the logo with a 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''. | ||
*The color of the CGI yellow sun in "WONDER" can vary. On nearly all Sony Wonder 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'', the CGI sun is in orange-yellow orange. 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. | *The color of the CGI yellow sun in "WONDER" can vary.

<u>Music/Sounds:</u> When the logo starts, we hear a riveting string note being held out, and when the ribbon appears, 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 synthesized, with some samples produced on the E-mu Proteus 2 Orchestral digital synthesizer. | <u>Music/Sounds:</u> When the logo starts, we hear a riveting string note being held out, and when the ribbon appears, descending harp notes play in-sync with the ribbon.

Music/Sounds Variant: For the early version, some of the instruments are more quiet. This variant wasn't used for very long, as the normal music would eventually take its place for the rest of its run. | |||
<u>Availability:</u> Common. It can be seen on many Sony Wonder tapes and DVDs from the late '90s to the mid 2000s, such as Sesame Street videos, later Arthur releases, and specials from Golden Books Family Entertainment/Classic Media (though on VHS tapes, it mainly appeared at the end). The still widescreen version is found on ''The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale'' and ''The Swan Princess: Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' (the Christmas special has the Stage 6 Films logo instead). It can also be seen on the Sony Wonder DVD and VHS of ''Caillou's Holiday Movie'', in place of the Warner Home Video logo. Some of the last releases to use this logo were the 2006 VHS releases of ''Sesame Street: Guess That Shape And Color'', ''Elmo's Potty Time'', and ''Elmo's World: Reach for the Sky!''. The "blended" widescreen variant can be found on the DVD release of ''The Legend of Frosty the Snowman'' (the 2005 special). | <u>Availability:</u> Common.

It also utilizes some neat CGI effects that, while not mind-blowingly fantastic, work very well and held up quite well for the logo's lifespan. | ||
