The scimitar shines and the letters "{{color|red|'''IMITAR'''}}" slide from behind the "{{color|red|'''S'''}}" to the right to spell the word "{{color|red|'''SIMITAR'''}}". The white text "ENTERTAINMENT INC." fades in below the scimitar, which shines again. | ||

'''Visuals:''' On a shady {{color|blue}} background, two separate sets of {{color|gold}} bars at opposite angles merge into each others' spaces in the center of the screen. From the bottom, 3 stacked lines swoop up and rotate 90 degrees to reveal the familiar "S", now in {{color|gold}} CGI, and plasters itself onto the bars. Underneath, a 9th bar drops down and causes the {{color|gold}} text "{{color|gold|'''''S i m i t a r'''''}}" to rotate forward. | '''Visuals:''' On a shady {{color|blue}} background, two separate sets of {{color|gold}} bars at opposite angles merge into each others' spaces in the center of the screen.

'''Trivia:''' See it or not, this logo contains an animation error: one of the gold bars protrudes from the right side of the screen before the rest of them do. It may or may not be visible depending on the aspect ratio of the viewer's television. | '''Trivia:''' See it or not, this logo contains an animation error: one of the gold bars protrudes from the right side of the screen before the rest of them do.

'''Visuals:''' On a shady denim blue-textured background with some light near the upper-left is a faded square in the center with a shadow drop behind it. A DVD flies around with a dust trailing effect, and parts of the Simitar logo (very much like the one seen in the 3rd logo, but slightly re-textured) fly into place in the center. The word "{{color|gold|Simitar}}", now in Futura font, flies around and settles underneath it, and the {{color|silver}} DVD logo (with a CGI DVD and a simple font for "DVD") flies into place under that. The disc seen earlier is part of this. Then the logo starts to "ripple" away before it fades out. | '''Visuals:''' On a shady <span style="background:linear-gradient(lightsteelblue,darkblue); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">denim blue</span>-textured background with some light near the upper-left is a faded square in the center with a shadow drop behind it.
