As it reaches the center, a psychedelic vortex explodes out from behind it and engulfs the background. The letters "{{color|gold|'''K'''}}", "{{color|gold|'''R'''}}", "{{color|gold|'''F'''}}", "{{color|gold|'''F'''}}", and "{{color|gold|'''T'''}}" quickly fly around the "{{color|gold|'''O'''}}", creating the word "'''{{color|gold|KROFFT}}'''" in its classic weird font. The rest of the logo then joins it, "'''{{color|teal|SID}} {{color|green|&}} {{color|red|MARTY}}'''" from the top, and "'''{{color|orange|PICTURES}}'''" from the bottom. | ||
