2nd Logo (October 16, 2001)
_(From_-_Cheerios_Play_Time).png)
Visuals: In space, a cowgirl pilots a red and yellow spaceship heading toward the moon. She moves toward a yellow and green landing zone with a marquee resembling that of the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign, with bull horns, lights surrounding it, the text "W E L C O M E HYPERSPACE COWGIRLS" and a pull-string. The cowgirl leaps out of the ship and pulls the string, activating the marquee and swinging before leaping off, doing a flip while exclaiming "YEE-HAW!" and landing by the spaceship which is on the landing zone, resting her arm on it while looking to the viewer(s), the entire zone in full view.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A western sounding futuristic theme, along with dialog from the cowgirl.
Availability: It only appeared on Cheerios Play Time for PC.
3rd Logo (May 10-August 31, 2002)
_(From_-_Spirit_Stallion_of_the_Cimarron_Search_for_Homeland_for_GBA).png)
Visuals: The cowgirl from before is seen flying through an asteroid field. Her ship speeds forward and tilts 90 degrees, becoming 2D and blue colored, while the ship's legs move back. A shine goes through the shape, forming a rounded-edge rectangle with the text "H Y P E R S P A C E", the middle stem of the "E" being elongated and going into the previously mentioned shape, while "c o w g i r l s" appears in a red stylized font, with a trademark symbol next to it.
Variant: A still version exists.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The tail end of the previous logo's theme, with a shimmer sound added.
Availability: It appeared on Stuart Little 2 and Britney's Dance Beat for PC and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron: Search for Homeland for Game Boy Advance.
