The 2 bars shrink by themselves until they form the green letter “T” at the top and the blue “M” at the bottom, which is against a white backdrop. As the formation finishes, the box shrinks to the top-left corner, as three curves in the colors blue, red and green appear from the right side and place themselves at the bottom of the screen and the other half of the curves fade in shortly after. This is then followed by a yellow bulging semi-circle with a white circle with 2 curved triangles sticking out and a horizontal red curve above itwiping in from bottom to top, revealing that the shapes form an abstract rooster crowing.
