[[File:Francine's Bad Hair Day title card.png|thumb|200px]]In a parody of the Rank Group logo, [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] walks up and hits the center circle with a banging noise similar to a gong.

Initially, Arthur would yelp the instant he comes up, but in later seasons, he would do so after he comes up, and in some occasional cases he is silent.

[[File:D.W. All Wet title card.png|thumb|200px]][[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is in the title's central circle when [[D.W.]] dressed like a super-heroine, swoops in, causing Arthur to spin, and says "Ta-da!". In some episodes of [[Season 1]], [[Bionic Bunny (character)|Bionic Bunny]] can be heard saying "Faster and more annoying than a mosquito...it's super sister!", "Peskier than the mosquito! It's super sister!", "More powerful than a locomotive...it's super sister! or "Faster than a speeding bullet, it's super sister!", but these quotations were removed after Season 1. On Season 3-4, D.W. occasionally becomes silent when she swoops in, as well as Season 12-13.

List of Title Cards has a gallery at the Elwood City Art Museum.
This article has a gallery to help represent its content. To view it, visit List of Title Cards/Gallery.

Every episode of Arthur has a title card which displays the title, the name(s) of the writer and storyboard artist, and a short animation encompassed within a center circle. Season 1 originally used six different title cards, but later seasons introduced more. With the exception of early versions of Season 1 episodes, the title is spoken aloud by either Binky, Buster, Francine, D.W., Muffy, Brain, George, Sue Ellen, Ladonna, and Arthur. The title card occurs 0:40 - 2:15 minutes into the episode. After Season 1, the typeface for episode titles was modified and have double-story lowercase "a"'s instead of single-story ones. The title names were enlarged starting with Season 10. The title cards were replaced with a scene from the episode, making them all unique, starting with Season 16 in the United States and Season 14 internationally.

In the following list, each title card has a list of episodes that use it. The name in parentheses is the character who reads the title aloud.

Arthur Underwater

Arthur's Eyes title card

The center circle is full of water. We see fish swim by, followed by Pal, followed by Arthur. He says "Hi!", but sometimes he will say something else like "Yay!". Sonar sounds are audible in the background.

This title card is usually used in episodes in which Arthur is the central character (or Pal, in early episodes). The first title card made for the series, it was the first out of the original six title cards to be made for Season 1. It was retired after Season 14 in the United States, and after Season 13 internationally.

In "Fern's Slumber Party", when Fern suggests that they should move on to the title card, she says "Maybe that swimming one", also breaking the fourth wall saying it.

Episodes used

Francine Hits a Gong

Francine's Bad Hair Day title card

In a parody of the Rank Group logo, Francine walks up and hits the center circle with a banging noise similar to a gong. This causes Arthur to yelp and begin shaking. The sound of Arthur yelping was changed in Season 11. Initially, Arthur would yelp the instant he comes up, but in later seasons, he would do so after he comes up, and in some occasional cases he is silent.

This title card is commonly used for episodes in which Francine is the central character. This was the second title card of the original six made for Season 1. Out of all the title cards used, this one was shown the most (30 times), along with Arthur Looks for an Umbrella. This title card was used at least once per season for Seasons 1 through 14.

In Israel, this title card is used as the series title card, appearing at the end of the intro.

Episodes used

Buster Makes Sounds

Arthur's Teacher Trouble title card

Buster walks into the circle, and roars (a parody of the MGM Lion logo), burps, trumpets like an elephant, or another different sort of sound (such as a rooster or a horse sound) for most title cards. After he does, Arthur walks up beside him and laughs. The sound of Arthur laughing was changed in Season 3, although the original sound of Arthur's laugh was kept in the Season 5 episode, Nerves of Steal, before eventually returning on a regular basis in season 12.

This title card is commonly used for episodes in which Buster, and/or Arthur is/are the central character(s). This was the third title card of the original six made for Season 1.

Episodes used

Arthur Looks for an Umbrella

Arthur's Spelling Trubble title card

Arthur does a Ta-da! pose (and in some episodes says "Yeah!" or "Hey!"), but it starts to rain. Arthur rummages through a rubber ducky, a spaghetti strainer, and a bike horn before finding an umbrella, which he promptly uses.

This title card is primarily used for episodes that involve some sort of minor (and sometimes scary) calamity and/or Arthur is the main character. This was the fourth title card of the original six made for Season 1. Out of all the title cards used, this one was shown the most (30 times) along with Francine Hits Gong.

Episodes used

Arthur and Super D.W.

D.W

Arthur is in the title's central circle when D.W. dressed like a super-heroine, swoops in, causing Arthur to spin, and says "Ta-da!". In some episodes of Season 1, Bionic Bunny can be heard saying "Faster and more annoying than a mosquito...it's super sister!", "Peskier than the mosquito! It's super sister!", "More powerful than a locomotive...it's super sister! or "Faster than a speeding bullet, it's super sister!", but these quotations were removed after Season 1. On Season 3-4, D.W. occasionally becomes silent when she swoops in, as well as Season 12-13.

This is another title card commonly used when episodes focus on D.W. and/or Arthur. This title card was the fifth out of the original six to be made for Season 1. It was retired after Season 13.

Episodes used

D.W. Chases the Frog

D.W

D.W.'s pet frog Toady is being chased by Pal, D.W. says "Wait! Come back!", Toady returns to D.W., who embraces her. Sometimes D.W. will just scream, then say "Hey!" when she picks up Toady.

This is one of the title cards commonly used when episodes focus on D.W. and/or Arthur, especially with one of their pets. This was the last title card to be introduced out of the six that were made for Season 1.

Episodes used

Magnifying Glass

Bitzisbreakup

Buster is searching the sides of the center circle, he goes behind it and it magnifies his face. He either says "Hey!" or "Ah!".

Mostly used for episodes revolving around Buster. This title card was introduced in Season 3.

Episodes used

Hide and Seek Circle

Desperately Seeking Stanly Intertitle

Arthur is seen sneaking away from the Central Circle's view just as D.W. passes in front of it looking for him. She looks for Arthur within the circle only for him to peek at her from behind unnoticed before hiding behind. D.W. gives up and says his name only for her side of the circle to rotate 180 degrees to show Arthur in Central Circle's view where he says "Shh!" to the audience.

This title card is usually used in episodes involving secrets and/or Arthur and D.W.. It was introduced in Season 2. This title card was retired after Season 14.

Episodes used

Arthur Takes a Bath

Title Card

Arthur takes a bath

D.W. walks up to the center circle, looking for Arthur and opens the shower curtain. Arthur is behind the shower curtain, taking a bath and screams or yells "Hey!" when he notices D.W. He is embarrassed and sinks lower into the bathtub. Sometimes D.W. may meekly say "Oops", or scream herself ("Ihh!") or be silent. On at least two earlier episodes, Arthur yells "D.W.!" after the "Oops".

This title card is usually used in episodes about embarrassing situations. It was introduced in Season 2. This title card was retired after Season 14.

Spaceship buster

A spaceship, the central circle, flies in and lands (causing dust clouds to form) with what looks like a blue alien that has red eyes.
