'''Legacy:''': An introduction of the iconic house motif, marking the start of NET's recognizable association with said logo/motif. However this is most likely a prototype/placeholder logo as the design does seem rough.

'''Visuals:''' On a black screen, several dots flash near the center of the screen. Then we see a circle being drawn in a counter-clockwise direction. A line is drawn through the circle going downwards, where it quickly vanishes. A small fire can be seen starting within the circle. Another line is drawn through the center of the circle from left to right. Two lines similar to a Worldvision-like globe are drawn. Another pair, closer to the circle, are drawn, like that of the first lines, and then two horizontal lines above the first horizontal line. The camera zooms backward, and we see a thick line (the top of the "'''T'''") being drawn under the ball of fire, which later connects to the ball of fire. A vertical line (the beginning of the "'''N'''") is then formed. The "'''T'''" then finishes, and then the diagonal part of the "'''N'''" appears. Lastly, the "'''E'''" is formed. The fire continues blazing until the screen fades out.
