The text lights up section by section, like a flashlight, and when the "light" reaches the circle, the circle flashes and a {{color|gold}} streak appears on it.

As it shrinks to the left of the screen, the stacked text "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|blue|TOUCHSTONE HOME VIDEO}}}}" slides next to it. After the oblong morphs into a {{color|blue}} ball, the text shines from right to left before hitting the ball, which flashes and glows orange, gaining the streak from the last two logos on it.
