1st Logo
(Early 1980s-Early 1990s)
Nickname: "The Abstract Sun"
Logo: We see a sun rise up during sunrise and, when it's in place, the rays from the sun shine and fade into a white abstract-sun symbol on a black background. The logo zooms up a little bit and the words:
in white, fade it below.
FX/SFX: The live-action sunrise.
Music/Sounds: A triumphant synth theme.
Availability: Rare. Can be seen on some of the company's movies on Learn360. However, it's rather hard to come by.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(Early 1990s-1996)
Nickname: "The Swirly Sun"
Logo: On a black background, we see a red, spiral sun symbol rise up the bottom while below, the word "SUNBURST" in a Comic Sans-like font spell out one-by-one and after that the word "COMMUNICATIONS" fades in below.
FX/SFX: The logo appearing.
Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth tune.
Availability: Rarer than the previous logo. Once again, seen on some of the company's films on Learn360, but not nearly as much.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo
