Logo: The logo starts out in the sea. Yellow, green and red stripes appear in the water, dividing it into various pixels. Out of some green, yellow and red lights are emitted out of which the letters V, T and M are formed. Three light flashes on the side with green, yellow and red end the composition.

Variant:
  • In some variants, a singer, at the end of the song, would sing VTM, at the rhythm and moment of the three light flashes.
  • There is a closedown variant in which the stripes detach themselves from the logo, the letters put themselves back into a flat surface and reform the sea, while the camera pans up to reveal the moon.

FX/SFX:The whole thing.

Music/Sounds:
  • Startup: A synthesized tune that wouldn't feel out of place in a SNES/Sega Genesis game. Though if it were, it would easily be one of the most iconic.
  • Closedown: A trumpet theme.
Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.
