'''Logo:''' In front of a black background, there is a {{color|gray}} wire frame globe, a bright light emitting godrays in the top left of the screen and some {{color|gray}} mist below, and in front of those, a metal object flips in, along with a {{color|red}} sphere. This is later revealed to be the "C" in "VCI", which flips around as it zooms out (with the sphere in the center). The letters "V" and "I" would later spin in and arrange themselves vertically. | '''Logo:''' In front of a black background, there is a {{color|gray}} wire frame globe, a bright light emitting godrays in the top left of the screen and some {{color|gray}} mist below, and in front of those, a metal object flips in, along with a {{color|red}} sphere.
