2nd Logo (February 5, 1999-March 5, 2001)


Visuals: There is a golden "AABHA" in the same font stretch out at us from an olive-green background. Then a filmstrip comes from behind the text, comes over the display, and swirls around the "B". Two halves of an orange arch form together and "FILMS" comes up. As it does, the cheetah from the previous logo slides in under the "B" once more. All of this is on a shifting, blue, geode-like background.

Technique: CGI Animation.

Audio: The stock synth xylophone theme.
