Nintendo Switch

(October 20, 2016-)

Logo: On a red background, we see the words "NINTENDO SWITCH" stacked, like this:

N I N T E N D O
SWITCH

"SWITCH" is bigger in font size. We also see two stylized Joy-Con beside each other. The left one is outlined, the right one is filled. Then, the right Joy-Con settles itself to be in line with the left one.

Variants:

When the console is turned on for the first time, the animation plays as normal, but after that the screen zooms into between the Joy-Con as they split apart and the screen fades to white.
When the console is powered on from fully turning off, the logo is simply seen still, white on a black background.
When a game is started from the menu, a black screen is shown with the Nintendo logo in white in the top-left corner, and the Nintendo Switch logo in the bottom-right, except the Joy-Con are to the left of the console name. The right Joy-Con lifts up and falls down again, causing the letters of "SWITCH" to spin.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A "click"/"snap" sound when the Joy-Con become aligned, mimicking the sound of the Joy-Con being connected to the console.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On the first time boot-up variant, a cheery tune plays, with a drumroll-like beat as the zoom occurs.
For the other variants, none.

Availability: Current and very common.

First appeared on the reveal trailer for the console, and when the console starts up and is loading games.
Also seen on Switch game trailers and commercials.
