Visuals: On a white background, there is a sapphire blue bar flying in from right to left. There is the name "DIPLOMATIC" spelling itself in digital artifacts that fly from the middle to the left of the bar in white. On the right of the word is a white arrow pointing right with two dots on the end of the arrow. There is also half of a green-lined globe inside the blue bar and a huge outlined green-lined globe behind it. Below it is a thick sea green line that draws itself in from the left to the right and later arches its way up as the blue bar shrinks its way inward from the right.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The sound of an airplane flying followed by a four-note theme.

Availability: It was last seen periodically on 2 Minute Drill on ESPN Classic. Was also seen on the short-lived series: Smush on USA, Studio 7 on The WB, and Pepsi's Play for a Billion on The WB and ABC. However, the latter titles no longer air.
