* An early version is said to exist where the logo just had "{{color|silver|{{Font|Serif|ATLANTIS}}}}" with no red line, but there's no video proof online yet and the only photo is a doctored recreation. This was said to have been used mid-Season 4 of the 1995 revival of ''The Outer Limits''. The rest of the season used a sped-up variant.

'''Visuals:''' There is a cloudy {{color|gray}} sky with snow-capped mountains, panning southwest to a batch of clear gemstones below, complete with rainbow lights reflecting off them. Two of the gemstones streak into the air, positioning themselves to the shape of a long isosceles triangle, in a nod to the Alliance logo. The image fades into the boomerang-shaped Alliance "Metallic A" but with the bottom left {{color|gold}} and the top right black. The text "{{Font|Serif|'''ALLIANCE ATLANTIS'''}}" in Wide Latin is seen below. A spark flies from the bottom to the top, as flashes of lightning can be seen in the clouds.

A spark appears on the bottom-left, moves to the top and brightens.
