'''Visuals:''' On a black background, | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, a large white circle flashes on and off. Then, a smaller circle moves in from the left of the screen, leaving behind different colored copies as it moves, a la the ''James Bond'' gun barrel sequence. Another circle does the same from the right side of the screen. Once the latter reaches the middle, yet another circle appears much closer up on the screen. A {{color|red}} triangle pointing towards the right with a rounded lower section moves out of the circle, which slightly widens in the process and stops in full view. Then, a finger appears and pushes the triangle, causing it to turn {{color|green}} with the MTV logo appearing in the circle in black, which proceeds to pulsate (like a speaker) until the screen alongside the logo becomes white and the shapes become black. The black words "'''''home'''''" and "'''''video'''''" in a sans-serif typeface slide in from the left and right sides of the screen respectively. The end product fades out and the words "''stick it in. press play.''" in a computerized font fade in and out. | ||
'''Technique:''' | '''Technique:''' 2D computer animation. The finger is live-action. | ||
'''Audio:''' A ''James Bond''-esque piece of music that tenses throughout the logo and ends in a 9-note electric guitar theme. As the slogan fades in, the sound of a VHS tape being put into a VCR can be heard. | '''Audio:''' A ''James Bond''-esque piece of music that tenses throughout the logo and ends in a 9-note electric guitar theme.

'''Audio:''' A heavy drum-and-bass theme is heard throughout, alongside a computerized female voiceover (supplied by the "Kathy" voice in the text-to-speech program on Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X) counting down from 5 to 1, a robotic voice (supplied by the "Trinoids" novelty voice in the same text-to-speech program, albeit transposed 3 semitones higher) quickly saying the company name, and a robotic male voiceover (supplied by the "Fred" voice in the same text-to-speech program) saying "Stick it in. Press play.", and finally a loud bit of static. | '''Audio:''' A heavy drum-and-bass theme is heard throughout, alongside a computerized female voiceover (supplied by the "Kathy" voice in the text-to-speech program on Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X) counting down from 5 to 1, a robotic voice (supplied by the "Trinoids" novelty voice in the same text-to-speech program, albeit transposed 3 semitones higher) quickly saying the company name, and a robotic male voiceover (supplied by the "Fred" voice in the same text-to-speech program) saying "Stick it in.

'''Audio Variant:''' Sometimes, a 80s synth hip hop-esque theme is heard instead. The voices remain the same. | '''Audio Variant:''' Sometimes, a '80s synth hip hop-esque theme is heard instead. The voices remain the same. | ||
