The word "WONDER" (in Herman font, more simple from before), in a {{Font color|pink|pink}} ribbon, then flies from the top-right to the bottom of the screen and stops in the center. The ribbon turns {{Font color|blue|blue}}, and we then see a CGI {{Font color|yellow|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. | ||

'''Availability:''' 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) and the 2006 ''Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie'' DVD. However, don't expect this to appear on any Big Idea tapes or DVDs they released. | '''Availability:''' 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. This logo is also infamous for being repeatedly mentioned and/or referenced in the webseries ''Greeny Phatom'', often as a bizarre non-sequitor. | ||

'''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''). | '''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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' We hear a quick jet zooming sound, then several xylophone notes and a "TWING!" as the circular sun zooms back. As the sun spins around, we hear several drum taps, then 3 bouncing sounds. 2 "dwong" sounds are heard as the Sony Wonder logo is finally formed, followed by an ascending twinkle. | '''Music/Sounds:''' We hear a quick jet zooming sound, then several xylophone notes and a "TWING!" as the circular sun zooms back.
