'''Visuals:''' Against a black background, a {{color|silver}} outline of the italic lowercase letters "{{color|silver|'''''dfs'''''}}" in Optima font inside a box streaks out toward the top center of the screen, increasing in brightness and then receding. As the tail end of the streak recedes, a graphic of the letters in white inside a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} box with a black border fades in on a {{color|skyblue|light}}-to-{{color|darkblue|dark blue}} gradient background with a pattern of {{color|darkblue|dark}}-to-{{color|skyblue|light blue}} dots. Afterwards, two white arrows with black outlines and off-center tails come from opposite sides of the screen. The arrow coming from the right reads "PROGRAM", points left, and has a tail shifted up; the arrow coming from the left reads "EXCHANGE", points right, and has a tail shifted down. The two arrows cross over each other and lock into position, as the DFS symbol shines.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, a {{color|deepskyblue|blue}} ball with a white swoosh arrow (a-la Nike) bounces on screen, then "{{color|deepskyblue|''The Program Exchange''}}" in a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} italic Myriad font zooms out into the center, along with a larger {{color|deepskyblue|blue}} swoosh arrow. As the ball bounces off, another white-swooshed {{color|deepskyblue|blue}} ball rolls in and jumps on the swoosh, and it spins to place itself next to "{{color|deepskyblue|''Exchange''}}", pointing to the top left of the screen. The italicized {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} text "{{color|deepskyblue|ZenithOptimedia}}" fades in, and the ball rolls off the screen to the left.

'''Trivia:''' The swoosh arrow happens to be the logo for ZenithOptimedia (as the text "{{color|deepskyblue|ZenithOptimedia}}" is shown).

'''Audio:''' A synth bassline, leading into a simple beeping electronic tune, accompanied by a click when the ball lands on the swoosh. The tune stops when the ball lands on the swoosh and a low "thump" is heard afterward.
