'''Technique:''' CGI. This logo runs at 15 frames per second.
'''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 notessounds. The audio is rendered in 16-bit quality.
