Logo: In letterbox format, a landscape comprising of a mountain situated next to a lake with a crescent moon on the left and a sun rising on the right on a dimly lit sky pans out. As it does, the moon fades away and the landscape becomes brighter while the sides separate from the frame. "9" fades in on the middle of the landscape, "Cloud" fades in above, and a copyright stamp fades in below.
