'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the camera fades in and moves back from a purple elephant moving its head, balancing barely on a tube television set. One of its feet slip off the TV before repositioning itself, and then blows its trunk, which causes the TV to turn on to static. Several scanners then wipe in the text "mass media" in a pink generic font with a dot in the middle. The entire logo then glows white, freezing the logo and turning the text into 3D silver text with the dot turning purple. |
