The rhino has a Elvis-like pompadour, a jacket with zippers on them, and appears to be grinning at us, while snapping his fingers. A diamond transition then brings forth the hot pink text "RHINO" in a 50's-era styled font, each on unevenly placed squares that invert colors for every other letter. Below it is the | ||

'''Logo:''' On a | '''Logo:''' On a white background, multiple blue scribbles with red shadows are seen, possibly supposed to be stones, while a large serif 1 can be seen. The screen buzzes with white for a second, which it then flashes to a 2 in the same font and different-looking "stone" scribbles. It then buzzes with white again, changing to a 3 on a different scribble background, filled with light green, yellow, and teal strokes. It then fades to an actual stone wall with an white plate in the middle of it. On it is the Rhino Video logo from before, but fully colorized with a skin colored rhino with a black pompadour and jacket, and a white gloved hand. Above it is "RHINO" in the same configuration from before, but with black letters and cycling multi-colored squares, and below that is "VIDEO" in the same font from before as well. The screen then suddenly starts rapidly flashing white, in which the rhino snaps its fingers, developing a yellow glow around the tube, the squares to stop shifting colors, and the rhino also winks at us (which is hardly noticeable). After several seconds of flashing, it stops and the logo slowly fades out. | ||

The whole thing then suddenly shifts to the right, where a red football-like oval is seen behind it. Passing through the "O", the logo straightens itself out and settles onto the background, which shifts to a darker, different-looking stone background. The words also seem to zoom back a bit. | ||
