Then a white ball of light forms the words "WALT DiSNEY", followed by "TELEVISION" appearing. A white circular line is drawn over the castle. There are four known versions of this: | ||

This would also be used for the then-new [[Buena Vista International Television|Buena Vista International]] logo. | ||
* 2001-2003: Same as the third version, but the castle and background are in off-color versions of the 2001 color scheme of the movie logo. This version combines elements of both the 1986 and 2000 versions. This time, the entire text is formed by a flash of light. Similar to the 2000 variant of the 1986 logo, the URL sometimes appears at the same time (albeit extremely rarely). | * 2001-2003: Same as the third version, but the castle and background are in off-color versions of the 2001 color scheme of the movie logo.

'''Visuals:''' On an indigo blue/black gradient background | '''Visuals:''' On an indigo blue/black gradient background is the familiar segmented castle (as seen in the 1985 [[Walt Disney Pictures]] logo), but shaded (from top to bottom) red, orange, and yellow. The white arc is already there and it sparkles from left to right (the opposite way it is from the movie logo). Below it, there is the "WALT DiSNEY" wordmark below, slightly thinner than usual, with "Television" (in Times New Roman) under it. The text would usually crossfade to the text from the Buena Vista Television logo. | ||
'''Later Variant:''' Starting in 1990, the logo would receive an update. Here, the castle and text are slightly separated, the text is now solid white with the "WALT DiSNEY" wordmark now in the proper thickness, the "sparkles" are now smaller and slower, the background is now clearer, and the Buena Vista Television reference has been removed. The background would later change to a purple-black gradient in 1995. | '''Later Variant:''' Starting in 1990, the logo would receive an update.

A spark draws the arc, but this time from left to right. As the arc draws, the flags appear one by one on top of the castle. After the logo finishes, a single spark appears from left to right on the arc. After the arch is formed, it fades to the Buena Vista Television text. | ||
