The words "'''HOME ENTERTAINMENT'''", with two lines above and below, fade in below. A large "M" in black with a glowing {{color|blue}} corona surrounding it zooms out and borders the logo. The whole logo is animated in a smoother frame rate. | ||

'''Visuals:''' | '''Visuals:''' The camera zooms down a river, and pans up to see the skyline of Manhattan, New York, at sundown. As the sun sets, the lights in the building windows begin to turn on, just like in real life. As the screen zooms in closer to the buildings (including the original World Trade Center buildings in the original version), several lights begin forming the print logo for Miramax Home Entertainment, simply in white (no glowy effects like last time). The city skyline fades to black as the logo forms, piece by piece, while zooming towards the center of the screen. | ||
