Logo: On a "stone" background, we see the number one. The screen "flashes" and we see the number two. Again, we see a number three. Then on the fourth flash, we see a cartoon rhino (wearing what looks like a leather jacket and gloves and a modified Elvis haircut) in a TV tube, with the word "RHINO" over him, changing colors and "VIDEO" below. While all this happens, the rhino snaps his fingers and winks (this is barely noticeable). A yellow "haze" surrounds the rhino. | '''Logo:''' On a "stone" background, we see the number one.
