2nd Logo (8 September 2004-23 September? 2019)

Visuals: The custard from before, now in black, swiftly slides in from the left, wobbling back and forth after the plate stops sliding. "Freeform" flies in over the dish with each letter desynced from each other. "A" inside a white box slides in from the left and rests over the "re" in Freeform" and "PRODUCTION" zooms in individually underneath the company name.
