IMG Original Content

Background
IMG Original Content (formerly known as Trans World International) is the television production division of IMG. It operated two offices, in the UK and the US, and both companies run until 2008, when it was dropped in favor of the IMG name, and it was reorganised and renamed as IMG Original Content.

1st Logo (1970s-Late 1980s)
Nickname: "Circle TW"

Logo: Superimposed in the credits, or on a black or blue background, we see a print version of the Trans World International logo (which consists of a stylized combination of a "T" and a "W", looking similar to the Magnetic Video logo). Below it was "TRANS WORLD INTERNATIONAL, INC." and some copyright info.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on sports programs produced by TWI, including a 1977 sales reel, Advantage Borg! and UK shows like Stunt Challenge and Kellogg's BMX Challenge.

2nd Logo (1979-1995)
Nicknames: "The Gold TWI", "Circle TW II"

Logo: Against a black background, several gold double half-circle shapes zoom out toward the center of the screen, followed by several gold circles coming from both sides of the screen. The shapes flash brightly, revealing the same Trans World International logo from the previous logo, which was in metallic gold. A copyright notice fades in underneath the logo, also in gold.

Variants:
 * On Battle of the Network Stars XVI, the logo is in-credit, and the gold chyroned words "TRANS WORLD INTERNATIONAL" fades in below the logo.
 * Starting in 1988, the word "TRANS WORLD INTERNATIONAL" flips in below the logo after the animation finishes.

FX/SFX: The merging shapes and the flash.

Music/Sounds: None, the end theme of the show, or a CBS generic theme starting in 1994.

3rd Logo (1991-1995)
Nicknames: "The Gold TWI II", "Circle TWI III"

Logo: On a black-gray gradient background, we see the same stylized "TW" as the last logo, with the text "TRANS WORLD INTERNATIONAL" stacked in the top-right corner of the symbol, and a copyright disclaimer below it.

FX/SFX: Just a simple fade in and fade out.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

4th Logo (1994-2004)
Nicknames: "The Gold TWI III", "Circle TW IV"

Logo: On a moving blue background, we see a 3D silver globe that rotates toward the screen. Two pieces of the Trans World logo from the previous logo rotate in as the globe disappears, while the rectangle moves toward the screen, forming the Trans World logo from the last time. The words "TRANS WORLD INTERNATIONAL" fades in letter by letter and a copyright date appears below.

Variants:
 * A print version exists.
 * A later version exists where the logo is rotoscoped and it simply reads "TWI".

Variants:
 * Sometimes, a copyright date is shown below the logo.
 * Later on, it read "TWI".

FX/SFX: The drawing of the logo.

Music/Sounds: None, the end theme of the show, or a CBS generic theme.

 * Sometimes, the logo is still.
 * Sometimes, the logo is on a white background and "TWI" is in black.

FX/SFX: The flipping.
