2nd Logo (1998-2002)

Logo: We zoom out of a red swirl, glowing inside the outlined letter "O". The word "atod" becomes visible lying in perspective. The red dot remains inside the letter, but the swirl goes outside, sending sparks, and draws the uneven oval outside, which becomes solid red and shines.

FX/SFX: Light sparks and effects.

Music/Sounds: Loud sparkling and humming sounds.

Availability: Seen on Hot Wheels: Extreme Racing, Jeremy Mcgrath Supercross '98 and Mobil 1 British Rally Championship for PlayStation.
