2nd Logo (1996-1999)

Discovery Channel Multimedia

Nickname: "Explore Your World"

Logo: On a dark background, we see some texts from different languages appearing fast. The languages follow in this order: Spanish: "DESCUBRIENDO EL MUNDO" (Discovering the World) Arabian: "تعرفي على العالم حولك" (Learn about the World around You) French: "REGARDS SUR LE MONDE" (Views on the World) Portuguese: "DESCOBRINDO O MUNDO" (Discovering the World) German: "AUF ENTDECKUNGSKURS" (On discovery course) Hebrew: "העולם אצלך בבית" (The World in your house) Italian: "SCOPRIRE E CONOCERE" (Discover and know) Indonesian: "JENDELA DUNIA ANDA" (Your Window on the World) Norweigan: "SLIPP VERDEN INN" (Release the World In) Japanese: "探険、 ふしきの世界" Danish: "LÆR VERDEN AT KENDE" (Getting the World to know) Dutch: "BRENGT DE WERELD BIJ JE THUIS" (Bring the World at your home) English: "EXPLORE YOUR WORLD"

After we see "EXPLORE YOUR WORLD", we see five mulberry circles of ascendent size surrounding "O" of "EXPLORE", and we see a red dot moving on the fourth circle (that represents an electron). Suddenly "EXPLORE YOUR WORLD" disappears and the circles become in a CD, after in a compass and after in the symbol of the company (an earth globe) and forms the Discovery Channel logo. Finally, we see MULTIMEDIA appearing below the logo and a red line behind the globe (that continues rotating).

FX/SFX: It's a CGI logo.

Music/Sounds: A dark piano melody, followed by some technological sounds (i.e. beeps and synth sizzles), which ends with a 3-note synth fanfare.

Availability: Ultra rare. It can be seen on Savage: The Ultimate Quest for Survival, Bizantine: The Betrayal, Evolution: The Game of Intelligent Life and the Spanish game El Taller de Inventos (The Workshop Inventions).
