'''Visuals:''' Cutting in from black, a {{color|grey}} floor with {{color|lightgray|light}} and {{color|darkgray|dark grey}} "marble" scratches and a {{color|lightgray|light grey}} grid is seen slowly shifting towards the upper right, as a {{color|red}} triangle zooms out from the top left edge and moves towards bottom centre with a shadow effect. An angled {{color|grey}} rectangle with a black front face then "opens" up and several more pieces appear around it, forming up a strange TV-like monitor with a satellite dish on top. The device rotates around a full 360 degrees as several pieces fly off it, then reattach, and then zooms in while tilting violently until the black screen takes up the whole area for a brief moment. It then cuts back to the floor, although its now stationary, and a {{color|red}} rectangle takes up the middle via a "blinds" effect before retracting on the sides. The rectangle then flips around once and rotates up, as a black "V" spins in as well and the background fades to black. It then plasters itself onto the {{color|red}} rectangle as the rest of the white text "{{Font|Serif|the}} ''{{Font|Serif|ideo}}''" fade in and white lines drop down from the rectangle. A {{color|grey}} background fades in, with a tall black rectangle remaining with a shadow effect, and the white lines contort into the tall white text "'''COLLECTION'''". The end result resembles the 1st logo.
