'''Nickname:''' "The Time Warner Eye II" | |||
'''Logo:''' We see a comet flying around the planet Earth, then it moves over the sea to the horizon and makes a light splash there. The comet's trace on the sky becomes an outline of the Warner eye. After this, the 3D words "{{font|serif|TIME}}" and "{{font|serif|WARNER}}" slide from left and right respectively, and "INTERACTIVE" zooms out into a white box. A {{color|blue}} line then draws on top of the box and a "TM" symbol fades in to the right of the box. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
*The arcade version of ''Area 51'' has a shorter version of the logo that starts with the comet hitting the planet. | |||
*A videotaped version was found on Time Warner's release trailer for ''Endorfun''. | |||
