'''Visuals:''' Against a {{color|teal|teal}} background, two lines (one with streaks; the other with filmstrip sprockets) parallel to one another roll out, then they connect with an arch at the right side, resembling the shape of a magnet. The word "{{color|silver|{{Font|Century Schoolbook|'''SPELLING'''}}}}" in the Century Schoolbook font slides in from that direction, with the word "'''TELEVISION'''" inside the lower line. The "{{color|silver|{{Font|Century Schoolbook|'''S'''}}}}" in "{{color|silver|{{Font|Century Schoolbook|'''SPELLING'''}}}}" is a bit larger than the rest of the word, which shines in with "pings". From 1994 onward, the respective company byline fades in below the logo.
