Background: This is the vanity card for Hey Arnold! creator Craig Bartlett.
1st Logo (October 7, 1996-November 2004)
Nickname: "The Totem Pole"
Logo: On a brown background, we see a tall, stylized totem pole bird with "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" (in the Hey Arnold! title font) above it. Under it are the words "SNEE-OOSH INC.", made out of brown sticks.
Variant: On later seasons, the "IAW" text is absent.
FX/SFX: None.
Cheesy Factor: None for the early version, but the split-screen is a COMPLETELY different story.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme.
Music/Sounds: On Nickelodeon's split-screen credits from September 2000, it has its own music (Composed by the series head composer, Jim Lang) consisting of a creepy chorus singing "Snee-OOOOOOOSH", followed by a two-note weird flute/gong tune (similar to a Native American tribe woodwind music or a television test pattern tone) which played over the following Nickelodeon or Nickelodeon Animation Studios logo.
Availability: Rare. The normal version is only seen on non split-screen prints of Hey Arnold! The split-screen version is extinct.
Scare Factor:
- Normal Version: None to minimal. The totem pole of the bird can creep a few first-time viewers out.
- Split-Screen Variant: Medium to high. The chorus and the flute/gong tune are very creepy, and can catch you off-guard (especially for those who are not used to this), but this is a favorite of many.
2nd Logo (2000's; February 15th, 2016-)
Logo: Same as before, but it looks more realistic, sepia toned, zoomed in a bit and has a film effect.
Later Variant: On Ready, Jet, Go!, the logo is now in color and lacked out a film effect. The camera slightly zooms foward and flashes to the Wind Dancer Films logo.
FX/SFX: None for the normal version. The zooming and a flash in the variation.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme.
Availability: Current. The normal version is only seen on the Cartoon Network pilot Party Wagon. Doesn't expect to appear on Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie.
Scare Factor: None.
