'''Logo:''' On a {{font color|#FFD900|yellow}} background, two {{font color|red|red}} parallelograms (or lines) come from the top and bottom of the screen, and the upper one is at a distance while the lower is closer. They fly towards each other, and the higher moves forward while the lower backs away.

Under that, the text "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" zooms in. | '''Logo:''' On a {{font color|#FFD900|yellow}} background, two {{font color|red|red}} parallelograms (or lines) come from the top and bottom of the screen, and the upper one is at a distance while the lower is closer.
