Logo: Starting in a tunnel made of 0's and 1's (representing binary codes), we zoom forward and the Paramount logo's circular stars are already there. Many other small digits fall from the top and form a white field over the mountain, which is the print logo of Paramount Pictures. The name is quickly wiped below the mountain. It has "Paramount" in the regular font and also "DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT" under it. The logo then rushes towards the screen and ends in a splash of light.

A cut-out circle is seen with the static in it. 3 black bars are seen above a version of the Paramount logo, but this time more angular and the 5 cut-out sections now looking like lightning bolts. The bars also contain "PARAMOUNT DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT" (in a font also used for many other Paramount properties), all stacked on the bars. The Viacom byline is seen below as the logo slowly zooms in and flickers.
