1st Logo:

(1936-1942)

Logo: On a black background, we see the white words "Mushroom Kingdom Television for the Public".

FX: None, unless you want to count the film moving and the fading.

Music/Sounds: None, or a voice-over that says "This is Mushroom Kingdom Television for the Public.".

Avalibility: Extinct, but can be found on MKTv's website.

Scare Factor: Low, unless the BG and V/O startle you.

Logo 2:

(1942-1958)

Logo: On a white background, we see a red mushroom jump onto the screen. He then faces us and then jumps several times. After he is done jumping, the white text "Mushroom Kingdom TeleVision for the Public" appears below the mushroom.

Variants:


 * There has been a still version of this logo.
 * This logo has been spotted in B&W.
 * There is a Cristmas variant where the mushroom's spots are green.
 * There has been a Mushroom Kingdom Day variant where the mushroom is wearing a crown, is purple, and the spots being yellow colored. Also, at the end of the logo, all the text except "Mushroom Kingdom" fades out. The word "Day" appears to the right of the remaining text.FX: The mushroom and the fading.

Music/Sounds: Sounds that go with this logo and a cute ditty when the text fades in.

Music/Sounds Variants:


 * The Cristmas variant had a holly theme.
 * The Mushroom Kingdom Day variant had a portion of the Mushroom Kingdom's national anthem, "Where the Mushrooms Live".Avalibiliy: Same as the previous logo.

Scare Factor: None, this is cute, unless mushrooms scare you.

Logo 3:

(1958-May 16th, 1961)

Logo: On a black BG, we see a toad walk onto the screen who presses a button. He then runs off-screen. The screen turns white and the previous logo falls into it's normal position. The "V" in "TeleVision" has been changed to a "v".

Variant:


 * This logo has been seen in B&W.
 * For Mushroom Kingdom Day, the toad is replaced by King Augustus Toadstool.FX: The toad, the screen color change, and the falling of the logo.

Music/Sounds: Sounds that go with this logo, and the ditty from the previous logo.

Avalibility: Again, same as the previous logo.

Scare Factor: Minimal to low.

Logo 4:

(May 17th, 1961-May 16th, 1962)

Logo: Same as the previous logo, but the text "for the Public" is omitted. Also, the mushroom is zapped and changed to a silver "25". The "25" then shines.

FX: Same as the previous logo, the zapping, and the shining.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo, but the zapping noise and shining noise have been included.

Avalibility: Rare. Was first seen on the special 25 Years of Mushroom Kingdom Television.

Scare Factor: Same as the previous logo, unless you are scared of zapping noises or lasers.

Logo 5:

(1962)

Logo: We see the final poduct of the 4th logo in B&W (with the well known mushroom replacing the "25") (which has been destored and cheaply made), but the word "Public" appears before "Mushroom Kingdom Television".

Trivia: The destoring and the word "Public" being in the logo was an editing mistake made by the logo's creator. He screwed up on the logo because he smeared the paint he used for the logo, making it even cheaper than it was supposed to be, and he was so numskulled that he added "Public" in. Nobody noticed he shouldn't have done that until late 1962. Another reason why the logo was cheap, was still and was B&W because MKTv didn't have enough money to make the logo like logo 4 at the time.

FX: None. This logo is still.

Music/Sounds: None, the ditty, or the closing theme of the show.

Avalibility: Extremely scarce. This logo was very short lived. Can be seen on re-runs of early episodes of Reach for the Stars, a game show, but is usually plastered by the 6th logo on those re-runs.

Scare Factor: None. This is totally stupid, dumb, and boring.

Logo 6:

(1962-1986)

Logo: We see a toad watching TV (tuned to MKTv, of course!) with what appears to be his wife. They start laughing and the male toad slaps his leg. We then zoom out to see they are in an aprtment building. We then pan to the right to see the a street with cars, trucks, and plenty of other things. We zoom down the street to see plenty more buildings, cars, and other things. We keep zooming until we stop at a river. We then turn 90 degrees to the left and pan up to see a building that is the building that is MKTv's headquarters, but has no mushroom above the text. We zoom up untill we get to the top of the building and pan back down to see the rest of Toad Town up to the Kingdom's castle. Fireworks go off from the castle, making them to form the well known mushroom, now more enhanced. The mushroom comes toward us, then swoops to the left of us. We follow the mushroom down to the bottom of the MKTv HQ. The mushroom lands right above the text on the building. The mushroom jumps and then winks. "Presents..." usually fades in below.

FX: The mushroom and the text fading in, if there is any extra text, which you will usually see. Otherwise, none. Ecxelent CGI and live-action for it's time. Originaly was a paper model of Toad Town, with the toads being live action.

Variants:


 * This has been spotted in B&W.
 * There is an ending version of this logo where we start with the fireworks at the castle. The word "Presents..." is omitted and is usually replaced by "Production" with "A" above the logo.
 * An even shorter version is where we just see the mushroom going into place in the logo, it jumping, and it winking.Music/Sounds: Sounds that would go with this logo and a triumphant fanfare that would later become the Super Mario Galaxy Show theme, but more enhanced.

Avalibility: Uncommon, can be seen on most re-runs of early episodes of Reach for the Stars, a game show. Can also be seen on the first five seasons of Quiz Fizz, another game show and is Reach for the Star 's sister show.

Scare Factor: None. This is amazing.
