Then, a stylized {{color|navy|navy blue}} "{{color|navy|'''V'''}}" (a downward trapezoid with a curved line in the near centre) appears from the centre. At first it is small, but the "'''V'''" starts to move gradually closer and closer towards the screen, almost to the point where it takes up nearly the entire frame. The logo then suddenly cuts to black or fades to black (depending on the version of the logo). | ||
