'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} (or {{color|mediumpurple|lavender}}) background, the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''A Viacom Presentation'''}}" in a Palatino-like typeface zooms in from the center of the screen at a very fast pace, then stops abruptly (on the filmed variant) when it gets near the screen. Then, a stylized {{color|navy|navy blue}} "{{color|navy|'''V'''}}" (a downward trapezoid with a curved line in the near center) appears from the center. 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). | '''Visuals:''' On a {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} (or {{color|mediumpurple|lavender}}) background, the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''A Viacom Presentation'''}}" in a Palatino-like typeface zooms in from the center of the screen at a very fast pace, then stops abruptly (on the filmed variant) when it gets near the screen.
