As this happens, a thick white line starts to draw out the letter "'''L'''", then turns and goes straight, before wrapping around and forming the letter "'''P'''", moving through the bottom of the "'''L'''" to form the bottom of the "'''P'''". It then stops a bit below the space between the words "{{font|Times New Roman|'''L{{small|ORIMAR}}'''}}"" and "{{font|Times New Roman|'''{{small|PRODUCTION}}'''}}". | ||

'''Logo:''' On a white marble background, wave ripples zoom out from the center. This causes the word "'''LORIMAR'''" (in black, and in a revised version of the design from the 2nd logo, such as the "'''A'''" having a standard line going through it and the "'''O'''" no longer being connected to the first "'''R'''") to be written out, not unlike the 2nd logo.

From 1991-1993, the Time Warner byline, in the same font used in the Warner Bros. logo, appears below the {{color|red}} bar. | ||

However, aside from this logo, they were never seen onscreen with the possible exception of trailers, due to L-T's financial issues at the time (they were already in the process of merging with Warner Communications when this logo premiered). The Lorimar Syndication variant was used in trade magazine ads. | ||
