Logo: On a cloudy background in a cyan tone, we see some rectangles forming a blue world map. Some yellow comets draw a few points on the continents, while one of them draws a line that shows pictures of computer machines and disc in a green tone, that zoom in after a few seconds. Then, we se the Earth spinning faster and trasforming into a Goode-style flat map. At the same time, the letters that form the stacked text "Global Digital Media Exchange", zoom out and place on the map before being passed by three other yellow strikes. At the end, the byline "A Warner Bros. Entertainment Company" in blue, fades in below.

Technique: Animation made in After Effects.

Music/Sounds: Some zapping sounds along with three cue notes and some drone beeping.
