Finally, a blue vertical triangle with two lines coming from the left appears in place of the other half of the "V", containing part of the franchise's logo. The river fades out. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a "river" of colours are seen. On top of the river is the franchise's logo and below it is the franchise name in an italicized serif font.
