'''Logo:''' We see a screen with many blacked-out words and sections, save for some spaces which are already colored light blue. Then various parts of the background are filled in with greens, oranges, and reds until you have a psychedelic-like background. Then you can make out the words "SID & MARTY KROFFT TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS" stacked on top of each other. All are in a disjointed sans font with tendrils coming off of "KROFFT" and "PRODUCTIONS" have a "3D" look to it, and get filled in one by one in this order: line 3 is colored pink, 1 red for "SID" and blue for "&", 2 Purple, 4 blue, and 5 blue-violet with pink on the 3-D part. | '''Logo:''' We see a screen with many blacked-out words and sections, save for some spaces which are already colored light blue.

*1969-1970: A twiddling saxophone/xylophone theme ending in a dramatic jazz stinger. In at least a couple of ''H.R. Pufnstuf'' episodes, the sound of canned applause and cheering can be heard under the music (carried over from the end of the closing credits.) | *1969-1970: A twiddling saxophone/xylophone theme ending in a dramatic jazz stinger.

*1970-1971: A series of "glug-glug-glug" sounds with 2 sets of 4 ascending synthesized chimes; the second one is much faster.
