Visuals: On a navy blue background, the logo from before, with "STAR" being in a different font, forming in various effects. At the end of each ident, an underline wipes in below "STAR".

Variants:

• Fanout: Red drawing circles zoom in via a fanout effect as it reveals the Channel 5 logo and "STAR". The color of the circles then changes to green as it overlays the logo and does the same thing as before. Before they disappear, the logo turns red.
• Flash Past: Multicolored horizontal lines pass by the screen as the logo briefly appears from the lines. The red Channel 5 logo later emerges from the lines, as a blue line passes by to reveal the entire logo in blue. As several lines pass through the logo, the logo's color changes to green, as multiple green lines pass by, forming the underline.
• Horizontals: Various colorful horizontal lines roll in like a cylinder, as the green Channel 5 logo is briefly revealed by the lines before wiping out, followed by the red logo, which followed suit. After a while, the green logo appears from the lines, before the lines turn it yellow and back to green. Before the lines disappear, multiple red horizontal lines roll in behind the logo, turning it red as an underline is formed.
