Logo: The camera moves and tilts from the left side of the SND logo, soon revealing the SND square on top of a roulette-like shape with the text "GROUPE M6" rotating on it. We also see a comet coming from the upper left of the screen, turning behind the logo, then hitting the floor, and finally leaving from the right side of the screen.
