'''Logo:''' On a {{color|purple}} background, we see a shiny {{color|orange}} spot. Over it, we see a {{color|salmon|salmon}} black-outlined emblem consisting of many triangular wedges that make up a circle, with the letter "{{color|salmon|'''m'''}}" on the center of the formation. The words "{{color|salmon|'''A MULTIMEDIA PROGRAM PRODUCTION PRESENTATION'''}}", also in a {{color|salmon|salmon}} font with a black outline, are under the logo. | '''Logo:''' On a {{color|purple}} background, we see a shiny {{color|orange}} spot.

The aforementioned "{{color|silver|'''m'''}}" replaces the company name, then about a dozen copies of "{{color|blue|'''MULTIMEDIA'''}}" emerge from the top and bottom beside the logo to make one whole version of the name.

'''Logo:''' Against a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background with slight ripples in it, a expanding ripple is seen at an angle. As it expands out into a lens-like shape, the emblem from the previous 2 logos falls onto the ripple, causing a large ripple to streak out, and then flies out to the top center of a {{color|navy|navy blue}} background. The text "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''MULTIMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" flies in, with "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''MULTIMEDIA'''}}" coming in from the right and "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" coming in from the left, and the letters rotate as they slide in. "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''A Division of Multimedia, Inc.'''}}" in a Roman font appears below when 2 streaks pass by each other at the bottom. All the objects seem to have a "blurring" effect as they move. | '''Logo:''' Against a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background with slight ripples in it, a expanding ripple is seen at an angle.
