'''Visuals:''' Over a closeup of a circuit board, the camera gradually tilts to the center from the right. At the same time, electrical sparks move in from the top-left, center-up, top-right, and bottom-right. As they all merge into the center, a transparent ring grows from the center (a la the [[Cartoon Network Productions#3rd Logo (November 26, 1999-November 3, 2017)|1999-2017 Cartoon Network Productions logo]]). Immediately after, a transparent oval grows, as a flash appears from the center, which then reveals itself to be the CES logo, which is a 3D, semi-glossy turquoise oval with a blue gradient 3D outline, embossed with the following: |

'''Audio:''' Rising sounds of electricity (around the 50Hz range) as the sparks move, with a brief static sound in the middle. As they near the center, a rising cymbal kicks in, which then evolves into a brief, symphonic fanfare with two descending electronic sounds. The audio is rendered in 16-bit quality. |

'''Legacy:''' This logo is memorable to those who grew up playing on the TsuMo (or its reskins/the MEGA), especially when it was at one's local Chuck E. Cheese. |
