Visuals: On a green concrete-like background, the company name in a gray blocky font with a texture zooms out from the center of the screen, as the screen slightly shakes. After a few seconds, two metal doors close from opposite sides, causing sparks to emit out. Then, it opens again, transitioning to the start of the video.

Technique: Possibly After Effects-like animation.

Audio: A whoosh, followed by Toby saying the company name in a deep voice, then some metal sounds from the doors and ending with another whoosh when it opens.

Availability: It debuted on Michael Jackson Died! and can be seen on a majority of videos produced by the channel, although they usually tend to omit this intro in most cases.
