At the same time, four {{color|orange}}-colored lines fly in and form a border around the stick figure, which is shaped like an elongated trapezoid. Then, the figure stops dancing, forming a "W" with its arms and an "R" with its legs. The border and text fade to white, the static dies down and the space background fades to black. | At the same time, four {{color|orange}}-colored lines fly in and form a border around the stick figure, which is shaped like an elongated trapezoid.

'''Audio:''' | '''Audio:''' The logo starts with a reverberated timpani hit, then an energetic synthpop tune plays, with a heavy Fmaj7 chord halfway in that's followed by a 13-note arpeggiated MIDI chorus that pans from left to right, ending with a heavier drumbeat, a 7-note synth tune, and a flourishing fade-out. | ||

However, starting around 1988, the stereo mix was replaced with a mono mix using only the left channel audio (notably making it seem that the MIDI chorus fades out, with the 13th note unheard). The stereo mix appears on early WRV releases with this logo, such as ''Van Halen: Live Without a Net''. | '''Audio Variants:''' This logo was originally mixed in stereo.
