The Era
May 1st 1993 - October 17th 1997

The Planets & Powerhouse Era
October 17th 1997-June 14th 2004

In 1997, TeleTOON launched as Canada's first animation station. To celebrate the medium, TeleTOON commissioned Cuppa Coffee to design their brand package. The package was based on TeleTOON's schedule at the time and was separated into four planets with different styles for different audiences. -Mornings were for toddlers, and had cute little aliens animated with clay. -Afternoons were for kids and was based of off 50's sci-fi animated in good old cel animation. -Evenings were for the family demographic and had quirky vignettes that used collage animation. -Nights were for adults and had an offbeat, avant-garde feel. There was one bumper were a woman slapped an off-screen man, but that has been lost to time. They were animated with paper-mâche, and they won an award for their artistic value.

The City Era
but unlike Cartoon Network's city, ToonMAX's city is more cartoonier and it's cel shaded

The Blocks Era
August 3rd 2009-Present

They picked up the failed Cartoon Network Pitch by Qube Konstrukt encompassing logo redesign, examples of package elements and keyframes for animated channel idents. inspired by Rube Goldberg machines - the rebrand featured animated 'blocks' that transformed and constructed themselves into 'fun generators'

They also picked up Versus's Failed Nicktoons UK Rebrand ,The brief asked to create an on-air look that was ‘focussed on funny’ and that utilised key show characters within the package, creating a strong connection between the logo and the characters.Their approach was to develop a new set of 5 characters - the Toons team -to interact with the main show characters. This would keep the show characters front-and-centre but would give lots of possibilities for comedy that would otherwise be difficult to achieve with limited assets. It would also give lots of flexibility for evolving over time, rather than the same joke endlessly repeated. This was married with a visual look that tried to get back to the roots of animation - the environment of Toonsville is surreal, random and funny.

The Mascots Of The Channel are Tap On Off Nozzle & Stock

General ids
Boy - Letters from the logo jump out from his face in various orders, and when the boy

Cow - Four cows are seen standing on small balls of grass, the last of which blows a bubble, containing the logo

Teen's Bedroom - A teenager struggles out of a messy bedroom into the hall. While he is gone, the numerous letters of the logo, all appear in different locations around the room. The same is repeated when he staggers back in, but with the lineup appearing in different locations around the room.

Mouse -A mouse (out of breath) arrives on screen and comes up with the idea to take his ears off for wheels, his tail for handlebars and his nose for a seat, becoming a bicycle, then cycles quickly off the screen, while the rest of his body transforms into a human bike racer.

Girl  - A girl kisses a ON, turning her into a red TO

Monsters - they gather around the TV set, they become children(.
