The "{{color|blue|''W''}}" and "{{color|blue|''D''}}" are larger than the rest of the text, and said text have underlines under it. "{{color|blue|PRODUCTIONS, INC}}" can be seen in a smaller, more generic font below "{{color|blue|{{Big|''D''}}''ancer''}}". A hairline crack then develops from upper right sector of the screen just off center to the lower left corner of the screen, morphing into a abstract outline of a dove's front silhouette. The crack then grows out an aurora-like light, glowing a mix of {{color|yellow}}/{{color|orange}}/{{color|indigo}}/{{color|blue}} light, all engulfing the upper left side of the screen. | ||

Strangely, the fifth episode of season 4 (the aforementioned "He Ain't Heavy, He's Just Irresponsible") uses the 2nd Wind Dancer Productions logo. It was also seen on ''Firelight'' and may have been seen on season 1 of ''Soul Man'' (a sitcom not to be confused with ''The Soul Man'') and ''Buddies''. | ||

The feather then touches the lake, bounces back up, and the scene becomes enclosed in a box shape (kind of like a bell tower) while the text "WIND DANCER PRODUCTION GROUP" zooms in. | '''Logo:''' We see what appears to be a lake.

It then unlocks the cuff with its beak and flies off. An orange burst of sunlight fades in at the top right of the square, shining diagonally. Another burst of sunlight appears moving below the square across to the right forming "WIND DANCER" in an orange Times New Roman font. The eagle then returns flying over to the top left of the square and settling there with its wings still spread out.
