'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a white beam of light with several twinkles on it "scans" across the screen, leaving a large fused "{{color|royalblue|'''LBS'''}}", consisting of an "{{color|royalblue|'''L'''}}" and "{{color|royalblue|'''S'''}}" nearly fused together and a "{{color|royalblue|'''B'''}}" in the gap between them, in its trail in the center of the screen, which then slides back a little. After the LBS text slides, a small white flash appears, leaving behind the text "'''LEXINGTON BROADCAST SERVICES COMPANY'''" in white.

'''Visuals:''' On a shaded {{color|royalblue|violet}} gradient background with a floor, a curved "{{color|dodgerblue|'''LBS'''}}" (exactly like in the 1st logo, but in a medium shade of light blue) zooms out while "unfolding" and stops in the center of the screen. "'''LBS COMMUNICATIONS INC.'''" wipes in under the logo as the LBS logo "shines". The shadow of the LBS logo can be seen below on the floor.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a group of round balls pan to the left of the screen. The "LBS" logo slides in from the right of the screen and the camera revolves to the front of it, during which two groups of 5 conical lights (possibly representing meteors) streak through. The logo makes a stop at the front of the screen, a spotlight illuminates the logo, and "'''LBS COMMUNICATIONS INC.'''" fades in below.
