1st Logo

(1985-1999)

Nickname: "The WW Media Logo", "WW in the Box"

Logo: On the starry background, we see the WW in the box logo with zooming near us, animated like a Hellas Kosmos logo. Then the "MEDIA" text in blue zooms up below it.

Variants:

On the 1996 VHS release of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, "WW" in the the logo was red.

FX/SFX: The logo and the text zooming.

Cheesy Factor: The logo is felt good for 80's.

Music/Sounds: A few seconds of the instrumental version of "Rio" by Duran Duran.

Music/Sounds Variant:

Some VHS and laserdiscs of some movies and shows had the instrumental version of "You Think You're a Man" by Divine playing instead.

The 1996 VHS release of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island had the instrumental version of "Where Do You Go" by No Mercy.

Availability: Seen on many WonderWorld Media tapes from this era.

Scare Factor: Medium to high because of the darkness of the background.

2nd Logo

(1999-)

Nickname: "WW in the Box II", "Just Keep Looking!"

Logo: On the silver background, we see the same logo as the previous one, but it is now animated like the 1997 Golden Books Family Entertainment logo with the WW jumping out of the box and picks up the blue "MEDIA" text. The other text "WonderWorld" in rainbow colors appear right above "MEDIA".

Variants:

On the DVD release of Rocco and Friends, the logo has "Presents" at the right beside of it.

A still version of the logo exists.

Some movies and shows had "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" above it in a green BubbleBoddy font.

There was an in-credit version that appeared on the Kassie the Bat, which aired on the Family Channel in Canada.

On the 2007 DVD release of Yoshi's Island DS and the 2015 DVD/Blu-Ray release of Yoshi's New Island, the "WW" in the the logo was once again red.

FX/SFX: 3D Animation.

Music/Sounds: A few seconds of the instrumental version of "Breathless" by The Coors. The 2007 DVD release of Yoshi's Island DS and the 2015 DVD/Blu-Ray release of Yoshi's New Island both had the instrumental version of "Where Do You Go" by No Mercy, just like the above previous logo.

Availability: Currently found on many WonderWorld Media VHS, DVDs and Blu-Rays on certain time when they're in prints.

Scare Factor: None. Much tamer than the previous logo!
