4th Logo (December 15, 2005-November 17, 2006)
Logo: We travel through snow on some rocky mountains covered in them at first. The snow is then cleared as the camera rotates to reveal a large opening with many more mountains in the same fashion, with an Chinese-like temple setting at the bottom, complete with waterfalls, a river and a bridge connecting to the temple. The company name wipes in with a lens flare, in a metallic sky blue color as the screen fades to black shortly after before fading out.

Variant: A still version exists.

FX/SFX: The camera rotating and the name forming. Beautiful CGI!

Music/Sounds: Starts off with wind sounds, which then changes to birds chirping when the camera reveals the temple. A majestic synth theme plays throughout as the name forms, ending with what appears to be an eagle cawing just before the screen fades to black. The still version is silent.

5th Logo (April 29, 2007-April 4, 2008)
Logo: On a black background as we fade in, the camera pans through some palm trees, as we then see an Asian-like temple setting with two cherry blossom trees in front and a lake with several rocks; complete with a rocky mountain setting in the foreground and several trees nearby, while clouds move in the horizon. The camera pans up as the sky gets a slightly white tint as we then see the company name in metallic fade in while the screen fades to black. The text shines a bit before fading out.

Editor's Note: The logo is similar to the 1st logo, both having a building and a mountain range as a focus.
