Playhouse Disney was launched on May 8, 1997 as [[Disney Channel Originals|Disney Channel]]'s answer to [[Nick Jr. Productions|Nick Jr.]] However, this network never used it's own real on-screen logo until 2001; just the normal Disney Channel logo of the time. On February 14, 2011, Playhouse Disney was relaunched as "[[Disney Junior Originals|Disney Junior]]", and gained a 24-hour channel replacing SOAPnet on most providers since March 22, 2012, although SOAPnet still survived on some providers as an "automated" network until its end on January 1, 2014. | Playhouse Disney was launched on May 8, 1997 as [[Disney Channel Originals|Disney Channel]]'s answer to [[Nick Jr. Productions|Nick Jr.]] However, this network never used it's own real on-screen logo until 2001; just the normal Disney Channel logo of the time.

'''Availability:''' Very rare. It was seen on pre-2003 Playhouse Disney shows like ''The Book of Pooh'', ''Stanley'', ''Out of the Box'', and other old shows of the "Mickey Mouse Screen" era, but has been plastered by the Disney Junior logo on nearly every new print of these series. However, it was preserved on the ''Stanley'' episode "Dolphin Talk" at the end of the VHS release and on the DVD release of ''Rolie Polie Olie: The Great Defender of Fun''. | '''Availability:''' Very rare.

'''Availability:''' The "Playhouse Disney Channel" variant is extremely rare, as it was only seen on reruns of their shows from the October 2002 rebrand until presumably in May 2003 when it got replaced with the second version; however, some episodes of ''Stanley'' from that era used this version when it last aired on Disney Junior Canada. However, the second version is kept on older VHS tapes and DVDs of pre-2007 Playhouse Disney shows such as ''Stanley'', ''JoJo's Circus'', ''Higglytown Heroes'', ''Rolie Polie Olie'', ''The Koala Brothers'' and ''Charlie and Lola'' (the latter 3 only used this logo on US prints); although ''Handy Manny'' and ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' used the ending theme played over this logo, and ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' used the 2002 Disney Channel logo instead of this one. On Disney Junior (the channel), this was found in split-screen credits of ''Rolie Polie Olie'', most likely due to a processing error. This also made a brief appearance on an episode of ''Little Einsteins'' before the Disney Junior logo was shown, likely due to an editing error. During Playhouse Disney's last few years, this was used in tandem with the next logo. | '''Availability:''' The "Playhouse Disney Channel" variant is extremely rare, as it was only seen on reruns of their shows from the October 2002 rebrand until presumably in May 2003 when it got replaced with the second version; however, some episodes of ''Stanley'' from that era used this version when it last aired on Disney Junior Canada.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. It appeared on ''Jungle Junction'', ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', ''Special Agent Oso'' and ''Imagination Movers'', among others. This doesn't appear on Disney Junior, which tends to plaster over old logos with the [[Disney Junior Originals]] logo. Surprisingly, this logo is kept intact on Disney+ prints of these shows. Also found on 2007-2010 Playhouse Disney DVDs and 2011-present Disney Junior DVDs of older Playhouse Disney programming such as the 2013 DVD release of ''Little Einsteins: Incredible Shrinking Adventure''. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon, although it's still easy to find online.

'''Editor's Note:''' A nice take on Playhouse Disney's rebranding on the era and, at the same time, a wonderful finale to the Playhouse Disney branding. | '''Editor's Note:''' A nice take on Playhouse Disney's rebranding on the era and, at the same time, a wonderful finale to the Playhouse Disney branding. | ||
