Visuals: There is a rounded blue rectangle over a white background. Two lines are shown emerging from the left and soon reveal to be two T's, while the rest of the letters "AKARA" and "OMY" spread out from the side, shifting between blue/transparent/white colors. This reveals the text "TAKARA TOMY" in two lines, both in their corporate fonts; the text glows and turns into the plain logo.
