'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}}/{{color|violet}} gradient CGI starfield, a {{color|blue}} oblong marquee with gold trim with the word "Turner" in silver and fancy italic letters with the right arm of the "T" extended over the other letters, and the left arm curled moves in, close to the screen from the right. The camera turns left to follow it, and it approaches a {{color|green}} globe, like a planet or moon, positioned in the top left and lit from there and behind. As it approaches, it zooms out and turns its left side (the camera's right) in away from the camera, eventually settling in front of the globe as the camera movement stops. | '''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}}/{{color|violet}} gradient CGI starfield, a {{color|blue}} oblong marquee with {{color|gold}} trim with the word "Turner" in silver and fancy italic letters with the right arm of the "T" extended over the other letters, and the left arm curled moves in, close to the screen from the right.
