Logo: On a peach background, we see many humans and animals hurrying across the space, each having the plate with letter instead of his head. A giraffe with a yellow plate with "R" on it, running with a person wearing a pink outfit with blue pants with a blue-green plate with "e" with eyelashes above it with it's red shadow behind it, riding the giraffe behind then gets of a giraffe and stands while the giraffe sits down, a orange dog jumping wiggling it's tail with a tan plate with "A" on it has an eye and teeth on it, an orange four-legged chair sliding in from the bottom and the woman wearing a green dress with a blue plate with "L" on it, falls from the top and sits on it, a person wearing the red outfit with white polka-dots carrying her purse with a purple plate with "T" on it coming from the elevator and walking, a person wearing a blue shirt with an orange plate with "i" on it, jumpin in from the right doing back flips and then the orange star bounces in landing on the top of the plate, before he stands on one leg, the football player wearing red shorts and white shows with a pink plate with "m" on it running then kicks and stands still, and a person wearing a blue striped shirt and a hat hanging on the green plate with "e" on it, sliding through and them comes back and hangs on to it while.
