Variant: A still version exists.

FX/SFX: The rectangles sliding.

2nd Logo (1998-2005)
Logo: On a white background, we see a series of moving blue rectangles that slide over to form the Kudos logo from the previous logo, which moves in a trailing effect. Once it was finished, extra credit info appears below the logo.
