The mark consists of a motion and sound mark comprising an animation depicting first a stylized image of a horse head design in a circular carrier design, followed by depiction of the literal stylized writing elements THE GODDARD SCHOOL FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT in which the THE element appears above a line which appears above GODDARD SCHOOL, under which there is another line, under which appears FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT, ending with the horse "nudging" the "G" in GODDARD before coming to rest, all set to music that plays as the animation unfolds. The melody associated with the motion/animation featured in the mark consists of the following eight notes: E5 eighth note, C5 quarter note, F#5 eighth note, D5 quarter note, G5 eight note, A4 eighth note, G4 eighth note, and G4 dotted half note. The melody is performed with a brief caesura (or pause) after the fifth note. At the end of the melody, piano plays a two-note “tag” that consists of a G6 sixteenth note and a B6 dotted eighth note on beat two of the second measure. The melody is accompanied by harpsichord and bass. The harpsichord plays a C – D – Em – G chord progression, wherein the first three chords are each dotted quarter notes, and the fourth chord is a dotted half note. The bass plays four pitches: a C3 dotted quarter note, a D3 dotted quarter note, a E3 eighth note followed by a quarter rest, and a G2 dotted half note.
