Visuals: On a black-blue gradient background, a white square with a red border on it "floats in" from the right and moves to the center like a piece of paper falling to the floor. The company's logo (a stencil-styled big "W.", with a red line below the "W.", and a stencil-styled "WORD" below that; both the "W." and "WORD" are in Courier) zooms out and places itself on top of the square inside the border. The logo then slowly zooms in.

Variant: In some cases, the logo does not zoom in at the end.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Synth noises or (in the case of the variant) silence.

Availability:

• It was seen on Word-distributed VHS prints of the first few (mid-90s) VeggieTales episodes; such releases were later distributed by Lyrick Studios.
• It also appeared on the Bible Action Songs VHS series, preceding the 1st Everland Entertainment logo.
• The variant was seen on Psalty's Salvation Celebration: The Movie and Psalty's Funtastic Praise Party.
• Some prints of the original 1995 VHS of VeggieTales: Are You My Neighbor? have it, but most prints of that (and most of the early Everland Entertainment releases of VeggieTales) only have the program and the Big Idea logo.
