'''Nicknames''': "The Recognized Symbol of Excellence", "WWF in Space" | |||
'''Logo''': Against a space background, the two halves of the WWF logo come from the top and the bottom of the screen with orange "shadow" effects, cross each other's path, then merge to form an outline of the logo (which is a stylized "W" that is "divided" to look like two W's," and also has two protrusions at the upper right for an "F"). Rainbow-colored lasers cross the logo filling it with a gold color that turns silver after they're gone. Beneath, the words "WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" fly inwards one by one from the bottom of the screen, in white font and with the shadow effect. The logo "shines". | '''Logo''': Against a space background, the two halves of the WWF logo come from the top and the bottom of the screen with orange "shadow" effects, cross each other's path, then merge to form an outline of the logo (which is a stylized "W" that is "divided" to look like two W's," and also has two protrusions at the upper right for an "F").

* Surprisingly on November 15, 2010, this logo was spotted on ''WWE Monday Night Raw'' as part of the WWF special old-school tribute, but the word "FEDERATION" was crossed off in red, replacing it with "ENTERTAINMENT". | * Surprisingly on November 15, 2010, this logo was spotted on ''WWE Monday Night Raw'' as part of the WWF special old-school tribute, but the word "FEDERATION" was crossed off in red, replacing it with "ENTERTAINMENT". | ||
* On the March 4, 2013 "old-school" episode of ''Monday Night Raw'', a variation of this logo was used. The logo was remade with present day computerized graphics. The "F" was removed from the logo, and "THEN NOW FOREVER" replaced "WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION". The logo was also used on the January 6, 2014 "old-school" edition of ''Monday Night Raw'' and will most likely be used on future "old-school" tributes. | * On the March 4, 2013 "old-school" episode of ''Monday Night Raw'', a variation of this logo was used.

'''Music/Sounds Variant''': Sometimes, a dramatic synth tune is used instead, with no announcer. Laser zaps are heard when the lasers shoot at the logo, and "whoosh" sounds are heard when the logo and text appear. This was used in WrestleMania III, for one. | '''Music/Sounds Variant''': Sometimes, a dramatic synth tune is used instead, with no announcer.

'''Availability''': Seen on USA and syndicated WWF shows of the time period. You may see it on an old video. Was quite common in the early 2000s, when the WWF repeated episodes of ''Wrestling Challenge'' on TV. Was most recently seen on the ''WWE Greatest Rivalries: Shawn vs. Bret'' DVD in portions, and in full on the November 15, 2010 episode of ''Monday Night Raw''. The "THEN NOW FOREVER" variant appeared at the start of both the March 4, 2013 and January 6, 2014 "old-school" episodes of ''Monday Night Raw''. The silent variant is extinct as it was only seen on ''Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n Wrestling'', which hasn't been re-aired in years. | '''Availability''': Seen on USA and syndicated WWF shows of the time period.
