'''Logo:''' In space, we see a bright light that illuminates us a vision of different sized planets. As we move faster in the center of the planets, tiny planets and small rings of different colors appear and form a bond between the planets that we saw earlier, which now form big and small circles. As this happens, the words "RELATIVITYMEDIA" is seen below with "RELATIVITY" in Trajan Pro and "MEDIA" in Century Gothic. The text shines when it appears.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see an atom with some electrons zooming out from us. As the view continues to zoom out, we see other atoms, then the molecular structure, the planets and finally the whole galaxy. It stands rotated near to the right side and its center emits a light beam to the upper left corner. The background is consisted of stars and a few planets. The words "{{Font color|deepskyblue|RELATIVITY MEDIA}}" appear in a {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}} color, separated by the galaxy center, each letter being followed by a light curve and shining. Some planets appear from underneath while the logo forms itself, then the picture fades out.
