The Logo Was Changed In 2007 With The Release Of Album 28 De Gamer And The Bouncing Cubes Were Made Stationary With The Exception Of One.

Prior To Album 22 The First Selection Was Always The Kinderen Voor Kinderen Anthem. Starting With Album 22 The Custom Changed To Make It The Closing Selection Instead. The Melody Has Remained The Same Since 1980 Though After Album 3 The Verse With Lyrics About Children Starving And Sleeping In The Street Was Scrapped. The Tune's Chorus Survives With Lyrics Altered Over The Years To Be More Celebratory And Inclusive Suggesting That Children Are More Open-Minded And Understanding. Some Of The Recent Albums Omit The Anthem Entirely.
