2nd Logo (2005-2013)

Logo: On a black background, we see a shining wall full of blue dots, which then zooms out to the DC logo, we also see various DC characters as we zoom out. As the camera finishes zooming out, the letters "DC" are formed by the dots. A shooting star is then formed around the letters, and the words "DC COMICS" or "DC ENTERTAINMENT" appear below the logo. The words and logo also zoom out slowly before fading out.

Variant: On some video games, no text is used.
