Nicknames: "The Gold Nest", "Because It All Begins at Home"

Logo: On a black background, we see several gold bars forming a nest over the screen. Then the word "NEST" slides in over it and takes its place at the bottom of the screen as a gradient shade of green fades in. The logo and its name shine.

Variants:

There is another version of the logo, used on later releases. The animation is improved, except at the end, the logo zooms out as the tagline "Because it all begins at home" appear below it, in script. The background is black here, and the color is goldenrod. On some videos, The logo would animate as usual, but does not zoom out, show the tagline and the® symbol was replaced by the TM symbol. Also on some videos, The logo would still zoom out after the animation finishes but the tagline is omitted. This logo exists in filmed and videotaped versions.
