In 1986, Cadence Industries was liquidated and sold Marvel Entertainment Group to [[New World Pictures]], both of which later became part of [[New World Entertainment]]. Although MEG was later sold, New World kept hold of Marvel Productions, and in 1992, the studio became part of a new division of New World, called '''New World Family Filmworks'''. A year later, the studio was renamed as [[New World Animation]].

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue background, the "MP" from the first logo's long version, but colored {{color|blue}} and white, quickly zooms backwards, placing itself on the bottom half of the screen. When the "MP" is in place, a flash of light reveals the words "MARVEL PRODUCTIONS LTD." in a rounded white font, along with the byline "A CADENCE COMPANY" underneath in a smaller font. At the same time, a spark forms an {{color|orange}} ball of light on the top half of the screen, which fades to reveal the 1984 Sunbow Productions logo. When both logos are in place, a very bright sparkle shines on the edge of the "P" in the Marvel Productions logo.
 
'''Technique:''' Cel animation.
 
'''Audio:''' A five-note piano tune (ending in a three-note bass sounder).
 
'''Availability:''' It appears on ''G.I. Joe,'' ''The Transformers'' (the bylineless version appears on late season 3 episodes and season 4 of the aforementioned show), ''Jem and the Holograms'', the 1980s incarnation of ''My Little Pony'', ''Moon Dreamers'', ''Potato Head Kids'' and ''Inhumanoids''.

'''Visuals:''' Zooming out from an {{color|orange}} planet, there is a detailed space background with a nebula, as well as a white and {{color|orange}} light. The {{color|orange}} light reaches behind the planet and causes the planet to burst into light, turning it into the Sunbow logo, while the screen zooms out from some {{color|silver}} bars that close up to form the Marvel Productions logo, this time in {{color|silver}} and with the "M" cut-out, not filled in. The lights on the Sunbow logo die down, and the Marvel logo rotates straight upwards as the trail for the text recedes. Both logo shine, a simple wipe on the "MP" and a circular wipe on the Sunbow text, as stars flash in the background.
 
'''Variant:'''
*A short version is used on television shows.
**On most early season 3 episodes of ''The Transformers'' and later ''G.I. Joe'' episodes, either the version is sped-up or it has the last half of the version.
 
'''Technique:''' A mix of cel animation and CGI.
 
'''Audio:''' A bombastic synth fanfare with a chorus and explosion, as well as lightsaber-esque sounds for the shining. Otherwise, the opening theme of the movie plays.
 
'''Availability:''' This was used mainly for films. The full version appears at the start of ''My Little Pony: The Movie'', ''The Transformers: The Movie'' and ''G.I. Joe: The Movie'', all of which were co-produced with Marvel Productions. The short version appeared on late season 3 episodes of ''The Transformers'' and later ''G.I. Joe'' episodes.
