The lavender lines disappear one-by-one to form the 1963 "Abstract WB" graphic, rendered in lavender. As this happens, the orange line moves downward and back up before turning into an orange "{{color|orange|PRESENTS}}", in a font reminiscent of the actual 1960s logos. It then cuts to two lines swirling around and then sliding away to reveal the series logo, also including a small {{color|blue}}-and-{{color|#FFD900|yellow}} version of the WB shield from the 2014-present WB Animation logos, with "ANIMATION" underneath in the same font used for the rest of the lettering on the series logo. | ||
