FX/SFX: The globe turning into a crescent, the fading in of the text.
Music/Sounds: A techno theme followed by a whoosh (which are usually cut out) then a short six-note fanfare, which was the Global network's theme song of the era, or the end theme of the show. This logo was also used as an ID and it uses a completely different piano theme.
