1st Logo (November 2, 2018)

Logo: On a light blue gradient background, we see a blue line. The line separates into two lines that form the shape of a rectangle. While this happens, the 2010 BET logo slides in from the left of the rectangle, and "FILMS" slides in from the right of the rectangle.
Variant: On the trailer for Nobody's Fool, the animation is faster.
Technique: The lines forming a rectangle shape and the BET logo sliding in.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Only seen on the trailer for Nobody's Fool and later on the film itself.
Legacy: This is possibly a placeholder for the next logo.
