'''Visuals:''' On a swirly {{color|red}}/{{color|gold|yellow}} background with a bit more of {{color|gold|yellow}} (similar to the background of the 2004-2011 ''AFV'' graphics), the "''Vin Di Bona''" signature spins in the same way as before, but unfurls quicker. The entire signature is now colored in a shiny {{color|gold}} color, which radiates off light for the 1st half of the logo. It has also been noticeably updated to match Vin's signature better, is at a slight angle, and appears to have a black outline. "{{color|gold|PRODUCTIONS}}" is also spaced out and appears just as the logo frills out. The logo shines after the unfurling.

'''Audio:''' A calm synth theme with a soft, rising hum similar to the usual Vin Di Bona theme, as well as a ticking beat and twinkling heard with the final note (this is all composed by Dan Slider). Due to Bill Ratner or other announcers plugging the show that follows ''AFV'', it typically isn't well-heard on ABC.
