Logo: We see two 3D circles swirling - the gray one and the golden inside it. Two gray letters "W" and "A" fall from the top and bottom sides, merge themselves inside the circles and become white. The "A" letter misses the horizontal bar. The WarnerActive (1995)golden circle then becomes an arc, posed over the letters, and the gray circle remains around and shines. Then, the name "WarnerActive TM" fades in and "Active" turns italics.
