'''Logo:''' We back away from a drawing of the Chicago skyline at sunset from below. Then, {{Font color|darkorchid|pale purple}}-{{Font color|blue|blue}} gradient flares shoot out, and the drawing fades to a black background. "{{Font color|blue|'''WTTW'''}}" and "{{Font color|blue|'''Chicago'''}}" zoom out in separate parts and connect, with "{{Font color|blue|'''WTTW'''}}" seemingly "jumping" away from the viewer and shrinking, and "{{Font color|blue|'''Chicago'''}}" just "zooming" away. The word  "{{Font color|blue|presents}}" then appears below the logo.
'''Logo:''' We back away from a drawing of the Chicago skyline at sunset from below. Then, {{Font color|darkorchid|pale purple}}-{{Font color|blue|blue}} streaks shoot towards the sky perpendicular to the buildings, and the drawing fades to a black background. The streaks are revealed to belong to the top half of the text "{{Font color|blue|'''WTTW'''}}" in an outlined Helvetica font, which moves to the top of the screen to make room for the bottom half zooming into view. This is followed by the text "{{Font color|blue|'''Chicago'''}}" zooming out underneath in the same manner, and the word "{{Font color|blue|presents}}" in a smaller Helvetica font fading in under the logo.
