-Editor's Note:The closing version is one of the longest TV logos ever, since it lasts about 35 seconds. But, seriously, the lack of animation on the logo just doesn't justify its length. Although this is a primitive logo for the television era, you wouldn't expect that much of animation, but we guess people in that time would be bored after 10 seconds and start to think of making this logo end at an even shorter time.
