'''Logo:''' Here are the main variants of this logo:  

*1977-2009: On a black background, two flashes move horizontally throughout the screen, forming parallel {{color|orange}} outlines from opposite sides of the screen. Both outlines have several slits and curves. Then the flashes move vertically to connect the two lines together, and form an outlined "{{color|orange|{{Font|Impact|WGBH}}}}" inside of the new shape. Once finished, an {{color|orange}} flash appears behind the outline. As the flash becomes bright, "{{color|orange|{{Font|Impact|WGBH}}}}" fades out, and "{{color|orange|'''Boston''' Presents}}" appears in an {{color|orange}} Helvetica font. This was used as a bumper at the beginning of shows.

*According to Elizabeth Kaye McCall's book ''The Tao of Horses'', the Pegasus was played by "T-Bone", a white Arabian gelding who was trained by Hollywood horse trainer Corky Randall. The Pegasus sequence was filmed at night in an outdoor arena that Randall frequently used. T-Bone, powdered to look whiter, was to run in an especially made L-passage flanked by black curtains. When Randall called him, he galloped through it, and jumped over a fence to reach him, creating the desired effect.

'''Trivia:''' At the time, ABC was the most watched television network in America due to the popularity of ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire''.

'''Availability:''' As one of the longest-used end tags, it's fairly easy to find on YouTube when searching for commercials between 1992 and 2004. The company's channel doesn't have a ton of uploads with it, however many Chicago-based commercial uploaders (like gtp2day) certainly do. Otherwise, it's extinct.<br>

'''Availability:''' Seen on the company's commercials from the time period.

'''Legacy {{Font color|red|(optional)}}:''' Write about how the logo has affected the logo community and/or broader popular culture and how much of an impact it's left on them (i.e. if the logo is well-liked by the community, such as for the visuals, music, or it appearing on a specific program). If not that important, omit this section.

*Legacy is also not a place to be talking about how similar it looks or sounds to a specific logo, or how that logo was the first/last appearance of a specific element.
