Logo: On a black background, we see three gold interlocked ITC diamonds but with no letters in them, spinning around. They now appear to be made with a single "ribbon" of metal facing at an upwards angle, appearing that they overlap each other. As they spin around, the letters "ITC", in gold, slide out from the right of it one-by-one, and then shine as the diamonds stop spinning. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, we see three gold interlocked ITC diamonds but with no letters in them, spinning around.

Editor's Note: It's a lot tamer compared to the 3rd and 4th logos, but the "THUD" sound can surprise a few people. Another fan favorite and a nice way to end a legendary company. | '''Editor's Note:''' It's a lot tamer compared to the 3rd and 4th logos, but the "THUD" sound can surprise a few people.
