Shadow Projects Television

(October 20, 1997-April 28, 2006)
Nicknames: "The Barking Dog," "WOOF WOOF!", "The Shadow Dog"

Logo: On a white background, we see a black silhouette of a dog's head (similar to a Labrador Retriever) in a circle with "SHADOW PROJECTS" in the text-wrap effect around the bottom of the circle. The dog silhouette barks twice.

Variant: Sometimes, the company's website URL text "www.shadowprojects.com" is seen below the logo.

FX/SFX: The animation of the dog barking.

Cheesy Factor: Pretty lousy animation for the barking.

Music/Sounds/Effects: The ending of the show's theme, with a dog barking sound effect heard during the animation of the dog barking. On Bear in the Big Blue House, the barking was deep and low-pitched like a large dog, and on The Book of Pooh, the barking is higher-pitched and sounding more like a puppy with no additional accompaniments. Very rarely, it can even be heard without a noise to represent the animation. This can be seen on Disney+'s Spanish audio track for The Book of Pooh (specifically S1E1).

Music/Sounds/Effects Trivia: The normal bark sound effect used in the Bear in the Big Blue House variant is identical to Pongo's bark during the "twilight bark" scene in 101 Dalmatians. This sound is called "Sound Ideas, DOG - LARGE DOG: SHARP BARKS, ANIMAL", which can be found in the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library.
