'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} space background, there are three diamonds, {{color|red}}, {{color|green}}, and {{color|blue}} respectively, "interlocked" within each other and spinning around like a top. From the centre of the screen, a white ITC logo, designed much like last time but now turned slightly upward, zooms out and quickly moves to the left side, as the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" appears alongside. After a bit, the logo fades out to make room for the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Presents'''}}".

*'''1973-1977''': On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} space background with zooming stars, three semi-transparent diamonds are seen, coloured {{color|red}}, {{color|green}}, and {{color|blue}} respectively, "interlocked" within each other and spinning around like a top. From the centre of the screen, a white ITC logo, designed much like last time but now turned slightly upward to give a 3D effect and thus making it larger towards the bottom, zooms in and stops at a comfortable distance from the screen, and either "''PRESENTS''", "'''PRODUCTION'''", or "'''DISTRIBUTION'''" pop up under it before the sequence fades out.
*'''1973-1977''': Similar to the 1973 version, but the logo quickly moves to the left side, as the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" appears alongside. After a bit, the logo fades out to make room for the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Presents'''}}". The space background is also still and more sparsely studded with stars.


'''Trivia:''' The spinning diamonds on this logo are filmed in a way that, depending how the viewer sees it, they can see the three diamonds spinning above or under them.
