Logo: On a black background, white sparks come together to form the text "LG Software" in LG's corporate font of the time. Then. red sparks come together to the left of the text to form the LG symbol (a reddish-pinkish circle with a dot and the stylized letters LG, apparently meant to resemble a human face).

Logo: Basically the same as the LG Electronics commercial, but instead of the grey text sliding from the logo and separating the Korean and English texts, the text slides with the "LG" on the left side and the right side of it being all Korean.
