Nickname : "The Play Button"

Logo : On a white background, a play button is seen. It then zooms out and moves to the right, forming the text:

   TELENEXT

MEDIA INC

FX/SFX : The play button zooming out, moving to the right, and forming text.

Music/Sounds : Computer sound effects, followed by an upbeat tempo theme. However, this can only be heard on GL and ATWT broadcasts on CBS.com/daytime, as the CBS generic music is played over on CBS broadcasts with the split-screen credits.

Availability : Uncommon. Seen on broadcasts of As the World Turns (which ended on September 17, 2010) and Guiding Light (which ended September 18, 2009) on CBS and CBS.com. This logo was recently spotted on the 2011 People's Choice Awards on CBS.

Scare Factor : Minimal. The sounds may get to some, but it's a neat logo.
