'''Logo:''' We see a few copies of the 2007-2013 FX logo from the period floating and spinning around, and the camera is positioned close to this. We see another shot of this happening. As we only get a glimpse of this, a white 2D FX logo then spins to the center of the screen and facing the viewer on a dark background with a whitish-{{color|blue|bluish}} light shining in the bottom-right corner. We also see shadows of the FX logos floating and spinning in the background as well. Copyright information appears below that reads "© [year] FX Networks, LLC.
