The word "WONDER" (in the Herman font, more simple from before), in a {{Font color|purple|purple}} ribbon, then flies from the top-right to the bottom of the screen, turning {{Font color|magenta|magenta}} in the process. The ribbon then turns {{Font color|blue|blue}} when stopping at the near center, and we see a CGI {{Font color|yellow|yellow}} sun appear in place of the "O" in "WONDER" (and directly behind where the other sun resides) via a light effect. The Sony logo fades in at the top of the ribbon, while the CGI sun "wiggles." The end result is almost the same as the first logo. | ||
