'''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting. Although the 2008 roar track was a wasted effort. Why even make it if they decided to stick with the 1995 roar? | '''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting.
