Most notably, the transmitter was removed from the middle building, which was said to "communicate the 1950s broadcast era" by network management. | ||

On top of the logo is a crude drawing of a white bird. Throughout the logo's screen time, there's multiple shots of the logo "flickering" and the scribble appearing around the logo while the bird "looks" around. The word "PRODUCTIONS" in the same font as before appears below the logo and "flickers" itself in various sizes, while a copyright notice with the year is right next to it in the same font. | ||
