*<u>1982-1988</u>: The latter text is seen below the logo "flashing" into place, after the logo flashes. Also, the logo itself has less of a shining effect than of that in the 1981 version. An earlier variant has the byline merely fading in, in a smaller font. Yet another early variant has the Taft byline fade in at the same time as the company name. | *<u>1982-1988</u>: The latter text is seen below the logo "flashing" into place, after the logo flashes.

*<u>1988</u>: After Taft restructured into Great American Broadcasting and Taft bylines began to be removed, the "shining" part of the 1981 variation would sometimes be played in slow motion over the regular-speed music to keep the second screen from appearing. This was seen on reprints of ''Thundarr the Barbarian''. On some prints of ''Goldie Gold and Action Jack'', the logo simply fades out during the shining before the logo fades out to the Taft byline. | *<u>1988</u>: After Taft restructured into Great American Broadcasting and Taft bylines began to be removed, the "shining" part of the 1981 variation would sometimes be played in slow motion over the regular-speed music to keep the second screen from appearing.
