3rd ID (1986)
ID: We see a CGI disc with the world map depicted on it revolving as the upper part of the CNN logo in blue appears swiveling in, casting a shadow on the map. The shadow then morphs into the bottom part of the CNN logo, which zooms in below the upper part, completing the logotype. A sun appears rising behind the map disc as the CNN logotype shines, followed by the byline "A Service of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc." fades in below.
