'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|gray|gray}} marble-like background, a {{Font color|silver|silver}} disc rotates into place. Then four {{Font color|blue|blue}} lasers strike it from different directions. Then, the camera pans to an aerial view as the word "{{font color|silver|'''HiT'''}}", in a tall silver font, zooms out from the center from an angle, then rotates to face the viewers. As it does so, the four lasers rotate clockwise and "<span style="font-family: 'Impact';">{{font color|skyblue|COMMUNICATIONS PLC}}</span>" types itself in, in {{Font color|blue|blue}}. | '''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|gray|gray}} marble-like background, a {{Font color|silver|silver}} disc rotates into place.
