Visuals: A low opacity light gray 3 appears on the bottom left corner of the screen, followed by a 2 on the center right side and a 1 on the top left corner, with each number slightly increasing in opacity. Then, a 2 appears in the top center, with its opacity the same as that as the aforementioned 3, followed by a 1 in a higher opacity taking the 2's place. Afterwards, the numbers 3, 2 and 1 rapidly flash in the top center, all in the same opacities as shown before. Once the countdown is finished, an O appears, taking the numbers' place before it blinks four times. After that, the O draws itself in with a low opacity, which is repeated thrice and overlapped, increasing the opacity of the letter. This is then followed with a clip of three Os sliding to the top center from either the top left, top right or bottom center, in which said sequence is repeated four times before the letter briefly flashes onscreen. After that, a white circle appears, taking the O's place before the sequence's appearance is inverted four times. This is then followed by the letters "SH W" and "T.V." flashing in, with the H and W sandwiching the O vertically and the T being placed beneath the O. Then, the screen abruptly cuts to black and the O flashes in before the remaining letters repeatedly flash in, clanging colors from blue to red to yellow to green before changing back to white. This sequence repeats a second time, this time in a faster motion before the screen briefly flashes white and the logo's final product is shown.
