'''Visuals:''' On a pale blue background, a {{color|#202350|dark blue}} Sony logo is seen slightly above the center. At the same time, a {{color|#13889a|teal}} box falls from the top to the bottom-middle of the screen, squeezing in as it does so. Once it hits the bottom, it bounces back up, spreading itself out, and stops below "SONY", revealing the word "WONDER" in the Herman font.

'''Visuals:''' On a cloudy time-lapse background, playing backwards with the sun glowing behind it, the word "WONDER" (in the same Herman font, albeit puffier and more simplified), in a purple ribbon, flies from the top-right to the bottom of the screen, turning {{color|#FF00FF|magenta}} in the process. The ribbon then turns blue when stopping at the near center, and a CGI yellow sun appears in place of the "O" in "WONDER" (and directly in front of where the other sun resides) via a light effect. The Sony logo fades in at the top of the ribbon as the CGI sun's rays wiggle. The end result is almost the same as the first logo.

*On <u>some tapes and DVDs</u>, alongside television shows, there is a short version which starts with the logo being formed. This can mainly be found on trailers.
*An <u>early version</u> of this logo mostly 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 barely moves and is much brighter, and the sun is a much yellower golden. The background itself is also darker.

*On <u>Side A of the 1995 ''The Ren and Stimpy Show: The Essential Collection - Classics I & II'' LaserDisc</u>, the logo is in a higher quality and the sun is more orange.

*On <u>''Big Bird Sings''</u>, there are no fades at the beginning or end of the logo.

*The color of the CGI yellow sun in "WONDER" can vary. On nearly all Sony Wonder releases, the CGI sun is in golden-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.

*Three short versions exist:
**One that starts at the beginning of the ribbon's animation (seen on ''A Rugrats Passover'').
**One where the logo is already formed (mainly on <u>trailers</u>, but can be seen on some tapes and DVDs, alongside television shows).
***On the Greek release of ''Rainbow Fish'', the already-formed logo has its animation stop near the end of its runtime.
**One that starts where the ribbon stops in the center (seen on [[CINAR]] shows like ''Caillou'' and ''Zoboomafoo'', alongside shows like ''Mega Babies'' and the third season of ''The Kidsongs Television Show'').
*For ''Kidsongs'' VHS releases, the transition choice is either fade-then-cut or the other way around, depending on whether this logo plays before or after the 3rd [[Together Again Productions|TAP logo]].

*On widescreen DVD releases from the company, the logo is centered on a light blue background, and is "blended" into it in the cheapest way possible.
*On the 1999 VHS of ''Little Witch'', an SME copyright notice (in the Impact font) can be seen after the logo fades out.
*On the Greek release of ''Rainbow Fish'', the already-formed logo has its animation stop near the end of its runtime.
*Two short versions exist:
**One that begins where the ribbon stops in the center (seen on [[CINAR]] shows like ''Caillou'' and ''Zoboomafoo'', alongside shows like ''Mega Babies'' and the third season of ''The Kidsongs Television Show'').
**One that begins as the ribbon animation begins (seen on ''A Rugrats Passover'').
*On trailers for ''Sesame Street'' VHS tapes and cassettes, the logo is already formed with only the clouds in the background moving. The ''Sesame Street Video and Audio'' trailer, however, has it in lower quality and, in one of the shots, is lazily overlaid on top of a CRT television.

*On a Brazilian ''Enchanted Tales'' advertisement, the advertised VHS tapes are in front of a still of the logo's background (from the beginning of the logo). Once the tapes fade out, the background fades to a warp-speed version of the logo.

*On ''Generation O!'', the "www.generationO.com" URL appears underneath the logo. The logo was either fullscreen or boxed inside the credits.

*On widescreen [[Classic Media]] DVD releases, the logo is centered on a light blue background, and is "blended" into it in the cheapest way possible.
*Starting in 2014, with ''The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale'', the logo was redone in widescreen. It's a still image, sporting a different cloud background and a slightly different Sony logo.
