* <u>For the logo's first year, 2002</u>, the words "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{Font|Times New Roman|''90''}}<sup>{{small|''TH''}}</sup> ANNIVERSARY'''}}" in gold, with "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}'''}}" bigger and "<sup><small>{{color|#EDD602|'''''TH'''''}}</small></sup>" smaller and on the top right of "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}'''}}" and "{{color|#EDD602|'''ANNIVERSARY'''}}" below, fade in with the Viacom byline, sandwiched between the peak of the mountain. The trademark symbol ("™") is used in place of the registered trademark symbol ("®") in this variation. The logo's general color scheme is brighter and more cartoonish. One star at the beginning of the logo is absent, the clouds in the sky and around the mountain appear less realistic (with the ones around the mountain looking flatter compared to the later version), and the sky background in the second half appears to be stretched vertically (meaning that this variant was possibly animated for 4:3 screens; however, on ''We Were Soldiers'', which was the first film to use the 90th Anniversary logo, the sky background is more or less unaltered). The stars have a stronger motion blur effect, and some of them in the final shot look darker. The stars in the final shot are somewhat off-center from the rest of the mountain, and there is also an error during the portion where the script zooms back, in which some of the stars seem to jump out of the reflection of the text. Also, the trademark symbol is yellow instead of white. | * <u>For the logo's first year, 2002</u>, the words "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{Font|Times New Roman|''90''}}<sup>{{small|''TH''}}</sup> ANNIVERSARY'''}}" in gold, with "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}'''}}" bigger and "<sup><small>{{color|#EDD602|'''''TH'''''}}</small></sup>" smaller and on the top right of "{{color|#EDD602|'''{{font|Times New Roman|''90''}}'''}}" and "{{color|#EDD602|'''ANNIVERSARY'''}}" below, fade in with the Viacom byline, sandwiched between the peak of the mountain.
