'''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".

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 1980s guitar-driven pop/rock instrumental, kind of something you'd expect to hear opening an MTV program during that time. Some laser zaps are heard when the details are added onto the WWF logo, and "whooshes" are heard when the words zoom out below. An announcer says "The recognized symbol of excellence in sports entertainment" near the end.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. 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.

'''Legacy:''' This logo has cool cel animation with a catchy synth tune. In fact, during the 21st century, it would make a few occasional surprise appearances. A favorite of many indeed.

'''Logo:''' A silver-gray, three-dimensional WWF logo with no details flies across a landscape of rivers and mountains. It rises up, and the background is now an orange and purple sky. Lightning strikes the logo, adding the silver details, first to the first "W", then the second, and finally the "F".

'''Logo:''' In the twilight with the horizon, the WWF logo in a transparent blue 3D form, rises and turns to a 45-degree angle and comes closer to the camera as a glowing speck flies around the logo. The text "WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" in a 45-degree angle zooms out in the Futura font.

'''Logo:''' On a stone or ice floor against a cloudy black sky, a large monolith rises up, which has the WWF logo carved out of it and "THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" written below on all sides. The camera pans around and stops facing up at one of the logos, with the sun in the top left shining.

'''Logo:''' Against a cloudy red sky with lightning, several "THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" texts circle around to the top of the screen and disappear, followed by a red and gold WWF logo from 1996-1998 (the WWF logo from before, only tilted and against a square, that is used "WWF In Your House" series) turning to face us, slightly facing the left. The text "THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION", curved at first, then straightening out, rises up from the bottom.

'''Logo:''' Hard to describe, but it had some random images and text flying around and flashing (names of countries, languages, and several "5,000,000"'s) ending with a globe background, with some blue hexes, and another globe at the bottom left of the screen. The WWF logo from the previous logo appears, this time it is tilted towards the right, the square is blue, and the outline of "WWF" is blue as well. "THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" (with "THE" displayed over "WORLD") is shown below, along with the URL www.wwf.com.

'''FX/SFX:''' There's a lot going on in this logo, that's for sure!
'''FX/SFX:''' TBA.


'''Music/Sounds:''' A hip hop-like tune with an announcer saying "In 80 countries, in seven languages, to over a half billion homes each week, the World Wrestling Federation: The worldwide leader in sports entertainment.". Sometimes, a different announcer is used, and later on in the run, the spiel is altered as: "In over 100 countries, in seven different languages, to more than a half billion viewers each week, the World Wrestling Federation: The worldwide leader in sports entertainment.".

'''Logo:''' We see a looped video of a neon Earth with a outlined sun, the bottom of a ring close-up, another Earth zooming in, crowds cheering and explosions which speeds up faster as time goes on, "#1 Worldwide Leader", "World", "Wrestling", "Federation", and other stuff like that are seen (the words "World Wrestling Federation" are not seen at the same time). The animation abruptly ends and "ATTITUDE" is seen for a fraction of a second, followed by a quick pan of the WWF logo (much like the original, but it seems like a 5-year old's scribble of the logo with a red line underneath). The WWF logo is stylized to have a harder edge, like their product, and is modeled after the Nike "swoosh".

'''Logo:''' We see a globe, with pictures of wrestling clips, and the brand logos of ''Raw'', ''SmackDown!'', ''Sunday Night Heat'', ''Velocity'', ''Afterburn'', ''Experience'', and ''Bottom Line''. These images are interspersed among crowd scenes like the last logo. Towards the end, "ATTITUDE" and "ENTERTAINMENT" appear for fleeting moments, then, a light pans across the WWE logo (exactly like the 1998 WWF logo, but missing the "F", and with the red line closer up). In reality, the WWE logo just has a W divided to look like two Ws, and with a red "swoosh" below it.

'''Logo:''' We see a black-and-white clip of an old wrestling match from the early 20th century. It is later revealed to be on a TV screen in a large tunnel, with other screens displaying historic WWE clips (pertaining to things such as WrestleMania and Hulk Hogan). Eventually, we see a crowd scene, and the screen flashes. When the light disappears, we see the WWE logo at the bottom left on a black background, shining. "WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT" appears next to the logo, glowing red for a brief moment.

'''Logo:''' We start out with an overhead shot of the SunLife Stadium with fireworks, this eventually cuts to still shots of various wrestlers and other people in WWE's history. As the shots get faster the WWE logo zooms out halfway until the background flashes various arenas. The end result is the WWE logo to the left on a white background. "THEN" appears followed by "NOW" and "FOREVER" from the right center downwards respectively.
