(Huh, didn't know that most of Lakeshore went under until now. This is because, as I just edited to reflect, Lakeshore Records is still very active as, among other things, the current record label for the soundtrack of Fraggle Rock.)

'''Visuals:''' A redone concept of the previous logo. The most notable changes are that the logo is now in muted colors and the background is changed, with two forests meeting at a vantage point and the cloud background showing a sunset at the horizon. The logo also starts with a boy running onto the boardwalk, in even slower animation than the previous logo. This is all in a box that slowly zooms out and reveals the same text as before, in a new font (called Avenir) and not in italics.
