Once again, the textures switch as an "s" appears. The background color then changes to purple as a rectangle appears behind the letters (forming the new TBS logo). Then the background changes to a purple and blue-ish gradient as the letters in "tbs" turn blue with green stripes. The word "PRODUCTIONS" then wipes in below, and the background wiggles.
