This time, the structure is as off-center left as the late 1960s variant of the 1953 logo. The searchlights now have a glow (possibly Scanimate) surrounding them, and the sky is in a lighter shade of blue (closer to daytime, as opposed to the night-blue shade of its predecessors), with the clouds looking more "blended". This design of the logo was used as the basis for the 1994 logo. | ||
'''Trivia:''' This logo was designed when Rocky Longo repainted the eight-layered glass panels, and straightened the zero. This logo is actually traced over the 1953 logo if one lines up both variants over each other. It also bears a large resemblance to the 1956 logo (particularly the number "'''20'''"). | '''Trivia:''' This logo was designed when Rocky Longo repainted the eight-layered glass panels, and straightened the zero.

The camera moves down and then around the structure, revealing a Los Angeles/Hollywood skyline in the distance and a starry, cloudy blue/{{color|darkviolet|purple}}/orange sky in the background. Midway through the camera's panning, a yellow light (most likely the sun) shines behind the structure as the second half of the extended fanfare begins, and the camera pans past an additional searchlight in front of the structure before settling into its more usual position and angle. The orange byline "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''<big>A N</big>EWS <big>C</big>ORPORATION <big>C</big>OMPANY'''</span>" fades in at the bottom of the screen. | ||
