'''Logo:''' We start out with a screen, divided half black/purple gradient on top and half silver on the bottom with a bright light flare shining between. The silver part then rotates counter-clockwise (a la CBS/Fox Video), revealing it is a steel version of the "V" logo. The word "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''Viacom'''</span>" flies in from the upper-left of the screen and places itself under the "V", and the "V" shines. | '''Logo:''' We start out with a screen, divided half black/{{font color|blue|blue}}/{{font color|purple|purple}} gradient on top and half {{font color|silver|silver}} on the bottom with a bright light flare shining between.
