When it gets to the center, the "G" and the square turn from solid to segmented, and a line draws what looks like a TV tube, surrounding it. Both parts of the logo zoom in, and we quickly fade to the same logo, only smaller, and with "{{Font color|gold|GUILD HOME VIDEO presents}}" (in a {{Font color|gold|yellow}} Helvetica font) underneath. | ||

A female chorus hums during this section, ending in them shouting "Go Guild!" (hence the nickname; it's hard to tell because the chorus is rather muffled).
