+'''Technique:''' A still, digital graphic.
-Relativity Real (2012)
-Logo: Looks just like the movie logo at the time, except the logo is on a black background, and the star field is almost empty, as there are just a few stars and no planets (this variant was used for Relativity Media on Catfish: The Movie). Also, there is no light beam coming out of the galaxy center, and there are fewer light streaks next to it. The logo just zooms out a little and the words just fade in, with "R E L A T I V I T Y" in the same font as the movie logo, and "R E A L" in a different, uglier font.
+'''Audio:''' Same as the [[RelativityREAL]] logo. Otherwise, the closing theme plays it over or none.
-Variant: On The American Bible Challenge, the logo appears in-credit.
+'''Availability:''' Seen on shows made during the period.
-FX/SFX: The fading in of the words.
