6th Logo (2011-2016?)

One variant shows the colored square-thorns spiraling around to the left of the screen as the rtm logo flies to the center of the screen with a reflection appearing below. As the logo then does a full turn, Persembahan appears as the letters get close together. As a light flashes at the top right of the m, copyright info and the company's website URL appear at the bottom right of the screen, depending if the letters appear one by one, or they fade in.
Another variant shows the logo spinning until it settles its position, forming a trail which disappears rapidly. Different copyright info from the other variant fades in underneath the logo.
There is also a reanimated version of this variant, where an orange light is present as the logo spins and a blue light flashes as the copyright info wipes in.
Variant: A still variant exists where the logo is in 2D.
Technique: 3D CGI for the normal variants.
