*From the logo's debut until November 18, 1994, a prototype variant of this logo was used. The differences are the light moves all around the logo before settling into its usual place, and the text (in Times New Roman Condensed) zooms out with a trail effect (which starts out black before fading to white).

It was used in tandem with the next variation below. | **The earlier variation essentially freezes the Turner version of the logo to hide the byline (the shining animation stops if you look closely).
