A boy (similar to that of the 1997 [[DreamWorks Pictures]] logo) flies up onto the moon holding a bunch of balloons, and as he takes his place, he takes out his fishing rod and casts it, while letting go of the balloons.

The scene then fizzles with a sunset setting, growing in size from the top-right, as more and more clouds appear, slowly becoming 3D. As we zoom through the clouds, they take on a {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|mediumblue|dark blue}} tint as the scenery turns to nighttime. A {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|darkblue|navy blue}} energy forms a white moon in the center, and the redesigned boy on a crescent carves onto the moon, forming the inverted print logo.

'''Logo:''' Over a clear night sky, the Moon Child from the previous logo stands up from their crescent, grabs it, and starts flying while the moon vanishes into light. As the camera then pans throughout the sky, they pass by various DreamWorks characters from various franchises and films; in order, the Bad Guys (from their self-titled film, all inside a car, with Mr. Wolf pointing a finger gun at the Moon Child, which they do back), Toothless (from ''How to Train Your Dragon'', who flies out of a constellation and towards us), Po (from ''Kung Fu Panda'', on an island with a temple, performing a gesture), Ted Templeton Jr. (from ''The Boss Baby'', on the other side of the island, surrounded by toy blocks and a baby bottle), and Poppy (from ''Trolls'', inside a bubble). The Moon Child high-fives her, causing the bubble to burst and the scene to transition into a sunny atmosphere, with some hills and a riverbank. The Moon Child then passes by Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey (all from ''Shrek''), the former two of whom they wave goodbye to. The Moon Child then flies above the clouds, into the cloud background from the 3rd logo (with more defined clouds this time). As they stop in front of the moon, the Moon Child casts their rod, forming the print logo design. As this happens, the text from the 3rd logo fades in under the moon. | '''Logo:''' Over a clear night sky, the Moon Child from the previous logo stands up from their crescent, grabs it, and starts flying while the moon vanishes into light.
