'''Editor's Note:''' This is a very underrated and under-appreciated logo. If Viacom made any feature movies at the time, this was definitely the logo to go with (with or without the 'Presents' moniker). They already had some TV movies out, so this would have been perfect, yet they never used it. | '''Editor's Note:''' This is a very underrated and under-appreciated logo.

'''Logo:''' We start off in outer space. The words "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Special'''''}}" and "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Delivery'''''}}" streak through the sun in the background, leaving a {{font color|red|r}}{{font color|orange|a}}{{font color|#FFD900|i}}{{font color|limegreen|n}}{{font color|blue|b}}{{font color|magenta|o}}{{font color|purple|w}} trail. Then on a {{font color|blue|blue}}/black gradient background, the two words fly towards a stylized {{Font color|gold|gold}} ring with wings and the familiar "'''V'''" from the 2nd logo on its base. "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''From'' Viacom'''}}" with "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Viacom'''}}" in a bigger font, also fly towards the ring, settling inside it. The logo then constantly shines, occasionally flashing. At the end, a firework flash effect emerges from the logo. | '''Logo:''' We start off in outer space.
