Nexus Q

Background
The Nexus Q was a media device by Google that allowed people to stream content from Google-owned services. Unveiled at Google I/O 2012, the release was to be due shortly after the event with pre-orders opening up by Google. However, the release date was pushed to address feedback before cancelling it entirely. This unit was then superseded by the Chromecast, which still exists to this day.

Logo (2012-2014)
Logo:

On a black background, we see a circle of colored, curved shapes (akin to a flower) that are arranged in a rainbow pattern, rotating clockwise, which is covered up by a black circle. They start off small, but then they get bigger and the rotation speed increases. As the logo comes to a end, both the colored shapes and the black circle get smaller to their final positions, while a small, light-blue bar comes in from the bottom right corner of the screen. As the scene gets to it's final size, the colored shapes fade to white, and the Nexus (stylized as nexus) logo fades in along with the white ring as the whole thing subtly zooms out. Then, it all fades to black. Variants:

On a video titled "Introducing Nexus Q," the logo is shortened to where the colored shapes come out, rotate some, then comes back in to form the Nexus Q logo in roughly the same manner as the startup logo. On instructional videos related to Nexus Q, mainly "How Nexus Q Works," the black background is changed to a light gray background, the colored shapes increase in size as they rotate, then decrease in size as they face one by one to form the Nexus Q logo, with the "Q" logo rotating to it's final position.
