The Program Exchange: Difference between revisions

'''Audio:''' First, multiple high-pitched notes, played on a jangle pop-style guitar. That same sequence is then played again in a lower pitch, which leads into a loud, alarm-like synthesized drone. This was done by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban.

'''Visuals:''' Against a {{color|blue}}/black gradient background, "{{color|silver|{{Font|Goudy Old Style|DFS · DORLAND}}}}" in a font resembling Goudy Old Style and in {{color|silver}}, with the second "{{color|silver|{{Font|Goudy Old Style|D}}}}" linked to the "{{color|silver|{{Font|Goudy Old Style|O}}}}" and the "{{color|silver|{{Font|Goudy Old Style|L}}}}" linked to the "{{color|silver|{{Font|Goudy Old Style|A}}}}", zooms in from the bottom of the screen and position itself above the center of the screen in a "light trail" effect. Immediately afterwards, the word "{{color|dodgerblue|''{{Font|Impact|PROGRAM}}''}}" with a {{color|gold|yellow}} arrow below it and the word "{{color|dodgerblue|''{{Font|Impact|EXCHANGE}}''}}" with a {{color|gold|yellow}} arrow above it cross from opposite sides at the screen's bottom. Both words are in a {{color|dodgerblue|light blue}} italicized Impact font. The two arrows join with a diagonal line that forms between the words, and the finished arrow flashes briefly. A horizontal line draws itself underneath "{{color|silver|{{Font|Goudy Old Style|DFS · DORLAND}}}}" from left to right via a sparkle, and when it's finished, the words "{{color|silver|{{Font|Goudy Old Style|DFS · DORLAND}}}}" shine.

'''Availability:'''  

* Seen on episodes of the ''Dennis the Menace'' cartoon of this era, and has been said to be on at least one VHS tape of the series.

* The logo can also be found on one episode, "Dennis in Venice", on the DVD ''Dennis the Menace: Trouble, Trouble Everywhere!'' (the rest of the episodes end with the 1st logo).

* 1993-2008: A relaxing synthesizer tune from Seth Krugliak.

'''Availability:'''  

* During its run, either variant could be spotted on shows such as ''The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show'', ''Underdog and Friends'', ''Bewitched'', ''Sailor Moon'', ''Garfield and Friends'', ''Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?'' (in which Qubo's prints retained it), ''Hulk Hogan's Rock'n Wrestling'', and the 1992 syndicated print package of the 1986 ''Dennis the Menace'' cartoon, among others; it remains unknown if either version could be seen on late-1980s/early-1990s prints of ''The Abbott and Costello Show''.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, a {{color|deepskyblue|blue}} ball with a white swoosh arrow (a la Nike) bounces on screen, then "{{color|deepskyblue|''The Program Exchange''}}" in a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} italic Myriad font zooms out into the center, along with a larger {{color|deepskyblue|blue}} swoosh arrow. As the ball bounces off, another white-swooshed {{color|deepskyblue|blue}} ball rolls in and jumps on the swoosh, and it spins to place itself next to "{{color|deepskyblue|''Exchange''}}", pointing to the top left of the screen. The italicized {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} text "{{color|deepskyblue|ZenithOptimedia}}" fades in, and the ball rolls off the screen to the left.

'''Trivia:''' The swoosh arrow happens to be the logo for ZenithOptimedia.

'''Variant:''' A <u>shorter version</u> of this logo exists.

'''Audio:''' A synth bassline leading into a "beeping" electronic tune, accompanied by a click when a ball lands on the swoosh.
