Disney Educational Productions

 Background : Disney Educational Productions (DEP) is a division of The Walt Disney Company that releases educational material to educators, such as Bill Nye the Science Guy, as well as content involving various Disney characters.

1st Logo (Late 1980s-2000s)
 Logo : On a black background, we see Mickey Mouse wearing a graduation cap and holding a book, fade in via 'glitter' effect on the left hand side of the screen. Mickey then opens the book, and "throws" out sparkling dust that forms the white-pink text "DiSNEY" in the corporate Disney font. The words "Educational Productions" in a sans-serif typeface fade in underneath a second later as a copyright notice fades in underneath Mickey. The text shines, and Mickey blinks a couple of times before turning completely static.

 Variant : On the Bill Nye the Science Guy VHS releases, it starts at Mickey opening the book.

 Trivia : It should be worth noting that the buttons on Mickey's pants are gold, whereas they are usually white.

 FX/SFX : Traditional animation and computer effects.

 Music/Sounds : A synth, followed by a mellow theme accompanied by twinkling sound effects when Mickey throws the sparkling dust.

 Music/Sounds Variants : Some films have their own versions of the music.
 * On the Language Arts Through Imagination series, the theme varies (three of them) that continues over the Epcot Educational Media logo.
 * On the Bill Nye the Science Guy VHS tapes, it has a brief orchestral string theme with some xylophone, followed by ascending harp notes, finishing off with a tuba/timpani note.

 Availability : Seen on numerous releases from the label.

 Editor's Note : None.

2nd Logo (1990s-2000s)


 Logo : On a black background, we see the words, "Distributed by DiSNEY Educational Productions", styled like before but more metallic, with "Distributed by" in italics and solid white, "DiSNEY" in its corporate font and "Educational Productions" in Souvenir font. The logo (only the word "Disney") "shines".

 FX/SFX : The "shining".

 Music/Sounds : A calming synth tune.

 Availability : Seen on some Disney Educational Productions releases, such as Donald in Mathmagic Land, Recycle Rex (also seen on the 2-Disc Collector's Edition DVD of Dinosaur as an Easter Egg), and Disney's Doug: "Doug's Chubby Buddy".

 Editor's Note : None.

3rd Logo (2000s-)


 Logo : On a gradient black/blue background, we see the words "DiSNEY" zooms out in CGI. The words "EDUCATIONAL" and "PRODUCTIONS" zooms out. Then a star draws "Building thinkers every day" before stopping and leaving a translucent trail below "EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTIONS".

 FX/SFX : CGI.

 Music/Sounds : A majestic synth sounder with twinkling sounds.

 Availability : Seen on recent DVDs of that time such as The Science of Disney Imagineering series.

 Editor's Note : None.
