'''Logo:''' Looks just like the movie logo at the time, except the logo is on a black background, and the star field is almost empty, as there are just a few stars and no planets (this variant was used for Relativity Media on ''Catfish: The Movie''). Also, there is no light beam coming out of the galaxy center, and there are fewer light streaks next to it. The logo just zooms out a little and the words just fade in, with "'''R E L A T I V I T Y'''" in the same font as the movie logo, and "'''{{Font|Courier|R E A L}}'''" in a different, uglier font.
