2nd Logo (Mid 1980s)
Nickname: "C's of Doom"

Logo: Against a space background with stars slowly shooting forth, we see a blue object zooming forth. They turn upward to reveal itself to be three C's arranged somewhat like this: C C C The middle C is being overlapped by the other two. The C's then split into two and disappear from both sides of the screen. Then, the blue text
