As the camera slowly pans up, the logo (a "U" that casts the shadow of a "D" with the stacked name "UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT" underneath) fades and zooms in. A bird flies in from the right side of the screen into the logo's path; it proceeds to get hit by the logo and is sent flying towards the camera. The background fades to white.
