'''Logo:''' On a black-{{color|blue}} gradient background, we see a close-up of a ball, which has the buildings of Chicago (you might spot WLS' old Sears Tower studio in the ball as well) in it. As it starts to zoom away from the viewer, "{{color|silver|{{Font|Century Schoolbook|WTTW}}}}" and "{{color|silver|{{Font|Century Schoolbook|Chicago}}}}", in Century Schoolbook, also zoom out, both tilted on their sides at first, but rotating while they zoom out. When the letters stop zooming out, the ball zooms out for a few more seconds before it dots the "{{color|silver|{{Font|Century Schoolbook|i}}}}" in "{{color|silver|{{Font|Century Schoolbook|Chicago}}}}". | '''Logo:''' On a black-{{color|blue}} gradient background, we see a close-up of a ball, which has the buildings of Chicago (you might spot WLS' old Sears Tower studio in the ball as well) in it.
