After a few seconds, partially colored text stretches in from underneath, forming "MOTOROLA TELEPROGRAM CENTER". Then, three white shapes with two half circles on the left and right flips and turn into a circle containing a stylized "M"

2nd Logo (1974-1978)


Logo: On a black background, we see red, quick flashes of the Motorola logo, zooming in and out. After it stops, the Motorola logo is now silver and placed on top, and the words underneath, "MOTOROLA TELEPROGRAMS INC. Presents." They zoom in and stop.

FX/SFX: The flashing and zooming in.

Music/Sounds: The strings and a flute play quickly, and then hold a note. This is actually the beginning of "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" from Gustav Holst's "The Planets".
