A stylized hand then thrusts a wooden rod into the line, and we zoom out to reveal that the line is actually the letter "{{Font color|silver|'''E'''}}" without the middle stem, then a black bar with the text "{{Font color|silver|'''EVOLUTION'''}}", in the same font as before, in the center. "{{Font color|silver|'''EVOLUTION'''}}" slowly spaces out. | ||
