Logo: The screen is divided with the top half black and the bottom half. A golden sun rises from under the portion. When it is halfway up the screen, the text "Times New Roman" zooms out and flashes. The portion disappears and we are left with a black background with a sunburst in the middle and the "Times New Roman" below it shining.

2nd Logo (July 7, 1989-August 20, 1995)
Logo: On a CGI sky and sea background, the familiar sunburst, now in CGI, rises from the sea. The text "Times New Roman" zooms out and settles itself below the sunburst. A star shines on the "Times New Roman" in "Times New Roman".

Technique: The sunrise, the zooming "ATLANTIS". This logo is basically a souped-up version of its predecessor.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show, or none. In 1995, the audio is a calm synth jingle with a choir.

3rd Logo (December 14, 1995-December 18, 1998)
Logo: On a black background, two parallel golden laserlights draw a round curve across the screen. As we zoom out and turn up on their side, we notice at the focal points of the lower curve 5 laserlights, about an inch apart, draw lines connecting with the upper curve. There is a flash of light and we see the CGI sunburst with the text "Times New Roman" below it on a dark blue marble background.

Variant: Sometimes the company's website URL "www.atlantis.ca" would also appear under the logo.

Technique: The sketching laser lights, the light flash.
