Several lines appear across the circle, turning it into a sun (same design as the previous logo, but slightly redrawn), then spin around. The rays blur, then are re-drawn. The sun bounces to the middle of the screen, where the text "SONY", in its corporate font, slides in from the left and bumps the logo. "WONDER", also in the Sony logo font, then slides in from the right and makes the logo positioned correctly. The sun rays spin around one more time and stop. The entire time, the rays wiggle around (ala the [[Tom Snyder Productions]] logo). | ||
