Joe'', ''Inspector Gadget'', ''Amigo and Friends'', ''The Adventures of the Little Koala'', and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', among others. Also spotted on some [[Rankin-Bass]] video releases of the time, the Chuck Jones releases of ''Rikki-Tikki-Tavi'', ''Mowgli's Brothers'', and ''The White Seal''. You may also spot this on a few Japanese anime tapes like ''Robotech'' or some tapes of British cartoons like ''Wil Cwac Cwac'' and ''Roobarb'', and the Australian ''Dot'' cartoons should have this logo, too. The variant without the "WHOOSH!" at the end can be spotted on several ''Robotech'' releases from 1987, as well as ''The Teddy Bears' Picnic'' and ''Babar: The Movie'' from 1989.

'''Legacy:''' Though it is also perceived as rather cheesy, the logo is a source of nostalgia for those who grew up with the company around this time, as well as the debut of its best-known "handwritten" logo. On the other hand, it has been known to creep out some kids thanks to its loud music and sudden appearance at the beginning. | '''Legacy:''' Though it is also perceived as rather cheesy, the logo is a source of nostalgia for those who grew up with the company around this time, as well as the debut of its best-known "handwritten" logo.
