As the camera zooms in towards the logo, the words "Cálido" (at the upper center of the pentagon) and "Vídeo" (at the lower right). The camera stops when the "CV" and the words engulf almost all the screen. Then it jarringly cuts to the warning screen.

FX/SFX: The zooming in. Quite cheesy, as the design of the logo itself. The logo also could've used music.

Music/Sounds: None, but the transition to the warning screen is so jarring that we can actually hear its voiceover over the logo for a split second.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note
: None.
