2nd Logo (September 25, 1998)

Visuals: On a black background, the words "Axlerod" and "Widdoes" appear in a script-like font, zooming in with another font seen behind it which quickly fades out. Below it, the text "productions" appears wiping in. As the logo forms, the two words quickly scramble three times before settling out of position.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Unknown, due to the ABC generic network music.
