'''Logo:''' On a gradient blue | '''Logo:''' On a gradient {{Color|blue}} background, a series of translucent 3D quadrilaterals rotate into view and form what turns out to be a right-pointing arrow with a "''5''" cut out of it. The arrow is then hit by a line of electricity (two CASCOM stock footages called "Electro Charge II" and "Electro Burst") and turns {{Color|gold}}, and as it turns to face us, the word "{{Color|gold|CHANNEL}}" appears above. The whole logo faces us very briefly, with a flash of white light behind it, then zooms in towards us and disappears, leaving just the {{Color|blue}} background. | ||

Two more squares, colored {{Color|purple}} and black respectively, participate in similar sequences. While this is being done, the word "{{Color|gold|CHANNEL}}" forms letter-by-letter, then the symbol from the previous logo (a segmented arrow with a "5"-shaped hole) is formed afterwards. It stays on the screen for a few seconds, then the symbol and "CHANNEL" fly to the top right corner of the screen, leaving just the background. | ||
