Nickname(s): "Mickey the Graduate", "The Bill Nye Logo"
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.
Trivia: The buttons on Mickey's pants are gold, whereas they are usually white.
FX/SFX: Mickey appearing, the company name forming.
Music/Sounds: A synth, followed by a mellow theme accompanied by twinkling sound effects when Mickey throws the sparkling dust.
Music/Sounds Variant(s): Some films have their own versions of the music. However, the above music variant is by far the most common version.
Availability: Rare. Appears on VHS, Betamax and VCDs from the company, especially Bill Nye the Science Guy.
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, and Disney in it's corporate font. The logo (only the word "Disney") "shines".
FX/SFX: The "shining".
Music/Sounds: A calming synth tune.
Availability: Very rare. Seen on some Disney Educational Productions releases, such as Donald in Mathmagic Land, Bill Nye The Science Guy: Germs,The Eyes of Nye and Doug's Chubby Buddy.
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 animation.
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.
