Orange sparkles are seen below the words, which form the words "An" (above "AETN") and "Presentation" (below "AETN"), a copyright year stamp, "Arkansas Educational Television Network", and "All Rights Reserved".The ring then glows blue, and the logo stays on-screen for 5 seconds, while continuing to shine.
