2nd Logo
(1998-Early 2001?)
Logo: On a blue and yellow background with stadium lights in the background (a la they Yes Network ID from it's inception in 2002-2005), we see the then
NFL on CBS logo from 1998-2005 (a vertical blue rectangle with "NFL" with the same font as the CBS Sports logo you see on top of the page) on top, and CBS in the same font on the bottom. The CBS eye in sandwiched between the words, with yellow boxes surrounding NFL and CBS, with 2 yellow lines on both sides of the CBS logo.) in 3D. The logo tilts down and moves intront of the viewer, moments after that, the CBS eye flips toward us overtaking the screen. After that, the stars from the NFL logo covers over the CBS logo. The logo flips over again to see us, and the NFL logo zooms back to the pupil.
SFX: The animation, the 3D NFL on CBS logo, NFL, and the hovering stars.
Music: A much different generic sounding fanfare in which FOX, ESPN, used at the time.
Availability: Like finding a dinosaur. In other words, EXTINCT!
Scare Factor: None, did you expect Ray Lewis to jump out of your TV screen and sack you?
3rd Logo
(2006- )
Logo: On a black background, a blue circle with 4 quarter circles zooms back, and the NFL logo zooms back to connect with the circle. The circle keeps zooming back until it is in the middle of the screen, and it turns around to reveal the
NFL on CBS logo.
