-the left rotates clockwise, while the other diamond next to it rotates counter-clockwise. Behind the two orange rotating diamonds is a larger light pink rotating diamond that's rotating clockwise. In front of the diamonds, we see the Game Show Network tiles logo spinning with the green ball jumping down, sliding off the screen and flies off to the right.

-th Logo
-(2004-2005?)
-GSN Original (2004)
-Nicknames: "GSN Machine", "GSN Block", "GSN Factory"
-Logo: On a light blue background, we see the GSN logo from the time. Then, the logo opens up to reveal a blue colored factory, with gears, and a bunch of green blocks on a conveyor belt. A bunch of presses with a letter carved in each of them land on each of the green blocks to form the letters in "ORIGINAL". We cut back to the GSN logo. The logo opens up, and "ORIGINAL" jumps out of the logo, flips, and lands on the logo.
-Variant: There is a variant where the word "ORIGINAL" doesn't flip once it jumps out of the logo.
-FX/SFX: The movement of the gears, blocks, and the presses, as well as the GSN logo. Pretty good CGI for the time.
-Trivia: Along with the other IDs, this was done at V12.
-Music/Sounds: Factory noises are heard throughout. When "ORIGINAL" jumps out, we hear a whoosh, creaking, and a one-note tune. A female announcer says "GSN" with another female announcer saying "nya-la".
-Music/Sounds Variant: Sometimes, the one-note tune isn't heard and there is no female announcer.
-Availability: Extinct. This was last seen before original programming such as Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck, Russian Roulette, Extreme Dodgeball, and Video Game Invasion: The History of a Global Obsession.
