'''Visuals:''' Against a black background, lights wipe in the words "{{color|deeppink|Playaround VIDEO}}", with "{{color|deeppink|Playaround}}" in a cursive font, and "{{color|deeppink|VIDEO}}" in the Eurostile font, both coloured lilac pink with a {{color|blue}} glow. A couple of stars blink on the logo, which then zooms out, and another light draws in a {{color|deeppink|pink}} circle, extending from the "{{color|deeppink|d}}" and with the text now on the bottom of the circle when it finishes. After it finishes, a flash can be seen and the logo shines all over.
