Logo: A white line appears on a black background, spinning around into a tighted spiral. A flash then appears as the spiral becomes a CD and zooms out to a angle. As it zooms out, lightning can be seen on the surface before 2 bolts strike each end, flipping it over to a series of concentric rings. 2 more bolts emerge from the center, forming the jagged letters "W" and "M", as "W E S T" and "MULTIMEDIA" appear and zoom out with trails, resting above and below the logo respectively.
FX/SFX: The spiral drawing, the flash and the text zooming out.
Music/Sounds: The sounds of phasers and electricity.
Availability: Uncommon; mostly appeared on VCDs.
