2nd Logo (1990s-2000s)


Logo: A globe of Earth zooms in, with a thick revolving ring of gold. A golden figure, made of two parts, follows and inverts vertically, becoming an "L", while the globe disappears and the letter takes its place inside the ring. The name "LUSOMUNDO" zooms in. The word "APRESENTA" is wiped is by a light flash.

FX/SFX: CGI animation that improves over the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: A synth and xylophone tune followed by a loud swish at the wiping.
