Visuals: From a white flash, a 3D version of the USA Network logo for the time, along with "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" below it, appears first as a extreme close up of the right side of it, before quickly rotating and zooming out to face the screen.

2nd Logo (2000-2002)

After a while, blue spots start to appear before the USA logo blurs into view, with "USA" flashing in and a copy of the flag behind it and extending outwards. "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" also appears below spaced out, scrolling along before focusing underneath the logo. The background also gains a blue haze. The logo then shines at 3 places: the "USA" text, then the American flag, and then "ENTERTAINMENT".
Variant: "WHERE THE VISION LIVES" sometimes slides in under the logo from the right, with "VISION" shining in place of "ENTERTAINMENT" at the end.
