1st Logo (September 9, 2000-2004)

Early verison

Visuals: On a white background, a black box takes up much of the screen. In the center of it, the text "ELLiSPANiME" is seen in a stylized, with the "i"'s having serifs and lacking dots. A white dot falls from the top left corner and hops along the "i"'s, causing them to bob down a little bit before it bounces on the 2nd "i". A 2nd dot flies in as well, landing on the 1st "i" and bouncing a bit before they both stop.

Audio: None or the closing theme of the show.
