'''Music/Sounds:''' A quiet beeping sound, followed by the synthesized swoosh and some metallic clunks when parts forming the television, then a little synthesized organ-like ditty. It ends with three timpani beats.

'''Nicknames:''' "Stacked VCI", "The Globe", "Rotating C"


'''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 "'''{{color|silver|C}}'''" in "VCI" in the Futura font, which flips around as it zooms out (with the sphere in the center). The letters "'''{{color|silver|V}}'''" and "'''{{color|silver|I}}'''" would later spin in and arrange themselves vertically.

'''Legacy:''' The gigantic VCI text, the creepy music, the dark background, and the long period of silence give the logo a very ominous nature. Despite that, it is still a well-animated logo today and is a favourite of many.
