The "a" in "Crystal" is shining until the last third of the sequence.
Variants:
- On the 2014 demo reel, four copies of the logo are shown.
- In the logo's later years, it begins with multiple, waving rainbow colored light waves beaming on a space background, spreading out while four silver pieces and the outline of a pyramid rotate in varying directions. The pyramid appears through a fade-in effect and continues to spin until said sequence crossfades into a cut version of the normal visuals, which is darker than before.
