Logo: On a blue/black gradient background, a light blue swirl looking like a letter "e" appears, as well as the word "EDMARK" above it. Then, a yellow boy fades in the "e", and he spreads out his arms, letting out yellow stars. Then, a spark appears on the bottom and writes "Ignite the Curious Mind™" below the logo, and twinkles on "™".
FX/SFX: The boy appearing, spreading out his arms, stars flying everywhere, and the spark drawing the byline.
Music/Sounds: Three synth/xylophone notes, followed by an ascending synth/xylophone composition. When the spark writes the byline, two notes can be heard, and when it twinkles on "™", one more note is heard.
Music/Sounds Variant: A shortened version of the theme exists, which cuts off the ascending xylophone part.
Availability: Rare.
Editor's Note: None.
