'''Visuals:''' In front of a black background, there is a {{color|grey}} wire frame globe, a bright light emitting godrays in the top left of the screen and some {{color|grey}} 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 "<b>{{color|silver|C}}</b>" in "VCI" in a bold, squished Futura PT Medium font, which flips around as it zooms out (with the sphere in the centre). The letters "<b>{{color|silver|V}}</b>" and "<b>{{color|silver|I}}</b>" would later spin in and arrange themselves vertically.

'''Legacy:''' The logo was seen as ominous in the past years (thanks to the dark background, the music, the gigantic text and the logo ending with a long period of silence). Recent years have seen it become a favourite among VHS collectors, however.
