'''Logo:''' On a white background, a letter "{{color|silver|'''A'''}}" walks to the left, and other letters of the company name fall behind as it passes. When the letter "{{color|silver|'''V'''}}" falls, the "{{color|silver|'''A'''}}" attempts to continue walking, but the "{{color|silver|'''V'''}}" squeaks, catching the attention of the "{{color|silver|'''A'''}}", which jumps to the "{{color|silver|'''V'''}}". The whole word "{{color|silver|'''AVALANCHE'''}}" in 3D is seen. A hatch opens below the name and the word "{{color|purple|SOFTWARE}}" is pulled up from it. "{{color|silver|'''AVALANCHE'''}}" is pushed above by it, and a shadow is seen below. | '''Logo:''' On a white background, a letter "{{color|silver|'''A'''}}" walks to the left, and other letters of the company name fall behind as it passes.
