2nd Logo (1997-2004?)
Visuals: On a black background, the words "BLACK OPS" and "ENTERTAINMENT" (in silver 3-D Stencil font) fly in from the top and bottom and meet in the upper part of the screen. A light flashes behind the logo and as it gets bigger, the words explode into tiny pieces and emitting sparks. The sparks die down as the logo fades away.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A low humming which stops with a "THUD" when the words meet, then the sound of an engulfing fireball is heard then the explosion, which leaves a sound that trails off as the logo fades out.

3rd Logo (October 3, 1999)
Visuals: On a black background, there is a silver rectangle with a black "BLACK OPS" (like before, in Stencil) and below that is a black line with "entertainment" inside. The logo has a shining effect on the upper right of the rectangle.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Knockout Kings 2000 for the Nintendo 64.
