Underthat, there's a symbol composed with a white slanted "A" and a "P" to the sides, along with a red stylized "M" to the center. Below, we read this stacked caption consisting of "ADVANCED MEDIA POST LLC" and "BURBANK, CALIFORNIA"

2nd Logo (June 15, 1999-2008)

Visuals: On a space background, there is two rock pieces zooming out, floating and slightly connecting to form a thin "M", while a green ball of light flies behind them. Two more rock pieces zoom out and connect to the "M", forming a slanted "A" on the left and a "P" on the right. The light ball flies in from the left in front of the formation, turning it into solid colors with a black outline: the fully connected pieces turn white, while the bottom "M" piece turns red and a tinted picture of the poster for the movie Retro Puppet Master. "ADVANCED MEDIA POST", "BURBANK, CALIFORNIA" and "WWW.AMPOST.COM" also wipe in below the logo, while a blue light appears behind.

Variant: A widescreen variant exists, and has the logo sliding up as the company name and website address appear under it.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Background rumble, then two hammer sounds, followed by the Star Records and Company of Kids logo's music.
