2nd Logo
(1996-1999)
Nickname: "Explore Your World"
Logo: On a dark background, we see some texts from different languages appearing fast. The languages follow in this order:
After we see "EXPLORE YOUR WORLD", we see five mulberry circles of ascendent size surrounding "O" of "EXPLORE", and we see a red dot moving on the fourth circle (that represents an electron). Suddenly "EXPLORE YOUR WORLD" disappears and the circles become in a CD, after in a compass and after in the symbol of the company (an earth globe) and forms the Discovery Channel logo. Finally, we see MULTIMEDIA appearing below the logo and a red line behind the globe (that continues rotating).
FX/SFX: It's a CGI logo.
Music/Sounds: A dark piano melody, followed by some technological sounds (i.e. beeps and synth sizzles), which ends with a 3-note synth fanfare.
Availability: Ultra rare. It can be seen on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mUqBX8F7GQ" target="_self">Savage: The Ultimate Quest for Survival</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2WQzygiphM" target="_self">Bizantine: The Betrayal</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpL01bU85zA" target="_self">Evolution: The Game of Intelligent Life</a> and the Spanish game El Taller de Inventos (The Workshop Inventions).
