1st Logo (December 14, 2017)

Visuals: Several hands roll down a large paper roll to the left. Then, these human limbs begin drawing in "SKETCHBOOK" beginning with a pencil sketched outline (with the assistance of rulers and erasers), then tracing with markers, followed by placing cardboard cutouts of the text onto the outlines and then having one hand spray paint the word onto the paper with white. A person grabs another large piece of paper to cover the text, peels it off, and then the zooming shot crossfades to a flattened version of itself on a dimly lit black background, stopping by the end.

Technique: Live-action in the style of timelapse footage.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: The logo is seen on Tali's Wedding Diary.
