'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gray}} background, several white lines wipe in from the right. A black rectangle with "COLLECTION" in a tall white font at the bottom flips up from the bottom of the screen and "the" awkwardly flies and pastes itself at the top at a rather sharp diagonal angle. Then "V''ideo''" in a {{color|red}} rectangle, written with "V" in a black serif font and "ideo" in a skinnier, white italicized serif font, swoops from behind the "COLLECTION" box and plasters itself on it, positioned into the same angle as "the". Shadows also appear behind the logo when the pieces get into position. | '''Logo:''' On a {{color|gray}} background, several white lines wipe in from the right.
