'''Nicknames:''' "The Segmented Trapezoid 5", "3D Segment 5", "CGI 5", "Cool 5"


'''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", respectively) and turns {{Color|gold}}, and as it turns to face us, the word "{{Color|gold|CHANNEL}}" also in {{Color|gold}} 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.

'''FX/SFX:''' The quadrilaterals, the line of electricity, the arrow turning gold, and the whole logo zooming in.
'''FX/SFX:''' CGI animation.


'''Music/Sounds:''' A synthesizer tune is played with some bells and electric guitars, and just before the bolts of lightning hit each other, a cymbal is heard building up to the flash, with a final electric guitar riff before the synthesizer fades out, as the logo zooms off the screen.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Segmented Trapezoid 5 II: Not An Electric Boogaloo", "2D Segment 5"


'''Logo:''' On a gradient {{Color|brown}} background, a beige square appears from the bottom right corner, zooming towards the center of the screen before disappearing. 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.
