===1st Logo (December 14, 1986)=== Logo : On a black background, the words "Sandollar" in a fancy red font is written out on screen. After being written, the words "shine" for a few seconds, and the text "PRODUCTIONS, INCORPORATED" in white fades in.

FX/SFX : The writing, the shining, and the fading.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Seen on the TV movie A Smoky Mountain Christmas.

Editor's Note : None.

===2nd Logo (September 27, 1987-August 14, 1988)=== Logo : On a black background, we see the red words "Sandollar" in a script font zooming out. The logo shines. A red line is then drawn below.

FX/SFX : The zooming out, the line drawing.

3rd Logo (September 13, 1990-April 25, 1994)

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : We hear sounds of ocean waves moving as the end theme plays.

Editor's Note : None.

4th Logo (September 27, 1990-September 23, 1991)
Logo : On a background which looks like beach sand, we see red gradient text that reads "SANDOLLAR" fading in with a white drop shadow. Behind the text is an actual sand dollar laying in the sand, all behind the text.

Logo : On a purple metal background, we see the print logo for Kuzui Enterprises on the left, and the print logo for Sandollar Television on the right, much like the motion logo used on Unlikely Angel.
