2nd Logo (1986?-1991)


Logo: On a periwinkle background, 2 pairs of metallic shapes are seen rotating and zooming: the first pair is a double-hooked bar and 2 smaller pieces floating about, rotating quickly while it zooms in. The second group is 4 large curves, with the duos being mirrored copies of each other, zooming out and rotating slowly until it stops into place at the top of the screen. The 1st pair continues to spin until it interlocks with the large curves, forming the "MW" shape. The stacked text "Courier" then fades in at the bottom.

Technique: CGI.

3rd Logo (1991-2004)


Logo: On a black background, a silver shape starts to zoom up from the bottom right corner of the screen, slowly revealing itself to be an outline of the MW logo from the previous logos.

The logo then rotates towards the screen, with "Courier'''Media West, Inc."" fading in below, and the logo turning to 2D.
