The ribbon then turns {{color|blue}} when stopping at the near center, and a CGI {{color|gold|yellow}} sun appears in place of the "O" in "WONDER" (and directly in front of where the other sun resides) via a light effect. The Sony logo fades in at the top of the ribbon as the CGI sun's rays wiggle. The end result is almost the same as the first logo. | ||

*The color of the CGI yellow sun in "WONDER" can vary. On nearly all Sony Wonder releases, the CGI sun is in golden-yellow. On many ''Sesame Street'' VHS releases from late 1996-early 1998 such as ''Sing Yourself Sillier At the Movies'' and ''Kids' Guide to Life: Telling the Truth'', the CGI sun is in orange-yellow orange. On early 1996 ''Sesame Street'' VHS releases such as ''Elmocize'' and ''Rock & Roll'', the logo appears brighter, making the CGI sun appear in a white-tinted color. | *The color of the CGI yellow sun in "WONDER" can vary.
