'''Logo:''' We see the movie logo at the time, except it is on black background and the starfield is almost empty with no planets nor a light beam coming out of the galaxy center with fewer light streaks next to it. It zooms out a little as the words  "'''{{color|cyan|RELATIVITY REAL}}'''" fade in with the latter word in an uglier font.
'''Variant:''' On ''The American Bible Challenge'', the logo appears in-credit.
'''Technique:''' The words fading in.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A whoosh and a synth note.
'''Availability:''' Seen on shows like ''Catfish: The TV Series'', the first two seasons of ''The American Bible Challenge'', and ''Police Women''.
'''Legacy:''' The font for "REAL" is off model and ugly as it sticks out like a sore thumb.

'''Logo:''' On a space background, we see a {{color|blue}} ring orbiting around next to the words "'''{{color|blue|RELATIVITY}}'''" as the center flashes as "'''{{color|blue|TELEVISION}}'''" appears below.
'''Variant:''' There is a version where the word "'''{{color|blue|LIFESTYLE}}'''" appears above "'''{{color|blue|TELEVISION}}'''". This can be seen on ''Guy's Grocery Games'' and ''Burgers, Brew, and 'Que'', both on Food Network.
