THE CHURCH OF
JESUS CHRIST
OF LATTER DAY SAINTS

The URL then fades in.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A 13-note orchestral fanfare, similar to the "Called to Serve" music.

Music/Sound Variant: There's is a longer version with a one note horn, then a 13 note orchestrated string fanfare with slow at the end.

Availability: Seen at the end of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir special, and the beginning of the 2005 General Conference.

2nd Logo (2008)

Visuals: The logo from before in white fades in on a black background. It then fades out, and the copyright stamp fades in below.

Technique: Fading effects.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on A Light Unto All: A Christmas Gift.

3rd Logo (2009-2020)

Visuals: On a teal background, we see the logo from before in white, with the copyright stamp underneath.

Variants:

  • From 2009 until 2010, the background is in a white gradient, and the logo is under two gray lines, spaced by the text "MORMON MESSAGES". Both the logo and the copyright stamp are black.
  • From 2010 until 2013, the background is black.
  • From 2013 until 2017, the background is in a paper-like texture with a dark blue tint.

The Herald Angels Sing, O Come, All Ye Faithful, and Come Unto Jesus, as well as later prints of earlier General Conference videos.

4th Logo (2020-)

Visuals: A black or white background turns teal as an illustration of Jesus Christ fades in. The company's name fades under the illustration, and an outline of a semi-oblong appears over the logo, with an extra line forming between the illustration of Jesus and the text. A translucent oblong also forms behind the illustration of Jesus. The copyright stamp can barely be seen at the bottom of the screen.

Trivia: The illustration of Jesus is based off the 1833 statue Christus by Bertel Thorvaldsen. It also serves as the official symbol for the LDS church as of April 4th, 2020.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, the background is dark blue.
  • On some videos, the color of the background is white, while the color of the logo is gray.

Audio Variant: Sometimes, it's the ending theme of the video.

Availability: Seen at the end of General Conference videos and LDS videos uploaded in this era, such as the 30-Day Challenge videos, God Wants You to Pray | His Grace, and Parenting with Christ.
