2nd logo (2001-2003)


Logo: On a wispy, moving purple background, we see the same TVB logo above. A magical dust brings forth the silver metal objects, revealing the Chinese lettering and the words "JADE ANIMATION" in the same font from before. A byline saying "A Member of the TVB Group" appears below.

Variant:
 * A longer version exists, it starts with the TVB logo flying in before a a comet fly and magical dust appear. The rest of the logo preceeds normally.
 * On current upcoming HD remastered prints of Braceface, the logo is cropped to 16:9 widescreen, fitting the width of the aspect ratio.
 * On later episodes of the 3rd and final season of the 1999 series Redwall, the logo cuts to the still version of the TV-Loonland AG logo.
