Early variant
Visuals: A grayscale live-action left human eye wakes up on a white background. After looking around for several seconds, two live action hands in the same pose from before frame the white background from the top left and bottom right sides, cropping it to reveal a black background with floating red, purple, and medium violet red lights. The hands shatter into triangular pieces while the cropped white box flattens into the picture from before. Before the shattered pieces fully disappear, the company name from before fades in below the image. Both elements zoom out and then stop.
Variant: There is an early variant where the logo is tinted red. Plus, at the end of the logo sequence, on the bottom of the screen, the website URL fades in.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: Heavy breathing alongside an ominous shrill ambience track in the background is heard. Moreover with the former sound, its first use in the logo sequence is at a slow pace. When the hands enter the screen to frame the background, the breathing returns and gradually becomes quicker before abruptly stopping.
Audio Variant: Sometimes, the logo is silent.
