2nd Logo (1981-1993?)


Logo: On a black background, the outline of the Major League Baseball logo zooms in while leaving a limited ray of trails and then a white dot zooms into the bottom left corner of the logo also leaving a trail. Afterward, the colors fade into the logo and the red text

3rd Logo (March 19, 2002-2009?)

"P R O D U C T I O N S" appears in the same fashion. Both words stop as the rays of light fade out and the MLB logo stops, and the text ends up arranged like this:
