Logo: On a black background, we see the Wide Eye Media logo forming. Then, it explodes, and we zoom out of it. We then rapidly zoom into the eye, and we travel through space, only to zoom into a flower that takes us to a different space background with many dandelions planted. The petals of one dandelion then fly into a dark red background and create a bloodstream that leads to the sea, where a dolphin jumps out of the sea and back into it. The splash transitions to the earth zooming out and the view then turns to reveal hair raising from the human skin. We zoom out of the eye as the words "WIDE EYE MEDIA" appear. The slogan appears under the logo, which says "See it. Hear it. Feel it."

Variant: There is a shortened version often played in cinemas now, where the flower scene cuts straight to the end, with the slogan already being complete.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Uncommon, but in Ireland extremely common. It's currently seen in Irish cinemas.
