'''Logo:''' We see the movie logo at the time, except it is on black background and the starfield is almost empty with no planets nor a light beam coming out of the galaxy center with fewer light streaks next to it. It zooms out a little as the words "'''{{color|cyan|RELATIVITY REAL}}'''" fade in with the latter word in an uglier font.

'''Variant:''' On ''The American Bible Challenge'', the logo appears in-credit.

'''Technique:''' The words fading in.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A whoosh and a synth note.

'''Availability:''' Seen on shows like ''Catfish: The TV Series'', the first two seasons of ''The American Bible Challenge'', and ''Police Women''.

'''Legacy:''' The font for "REAL" is off model and ugly as it sticks out like a sore thumb.
