Visuals: On a starry background, there is the kid in an unrecognized thing at the top of the head, looking at weird directions. He moves around while the atom draws. Then, he looks at the directions. After that, he blinks and shakes his head while he begins to shrink quickly. As the atom becomes a trio of rings when the 2 rings appear, the kid explodes into thin air and the logo of CFRN appears. The words "Channel 3, Cable 2" appear in a white Helvetica-like font.

Technique: 2D cel animation.

Audio: A 3-note tune by a trumpet, with a drum tune which looks like from the 80s movie, then a futuristic chord tune.

Availability: It was used in tandem with the 4th logo. The 5th logo debuted later.
