'''Logo:''' Virtually the same as the previous logo, except it takes place on a black background. The falling cards' design is redone, as they are spaced further out to allow room for the letters on the face of the card to be seen. Also, on the Joker card, "PRODUCTIONS" is seen beside the joker on both sides, and on one side "PRODUCTIONS" is seen upside down. A byline and the channel logo, along with a copyright, fades below. | '''Logo:''' Virtually the same as the previous logo, except it takes place on a black background.
