After that, a treble clef appears and another rectangle shoots to the top-right. Then what appears to be an open book in form of a "V" appears and another rectangle shoots to the bottom-right. Finally, an "@" symbol appears and another rectangle shoots to the top-left. At the end, there are various rectangular shapes sliding from the sides and forming an abstract bridge, which zooms out to make room for the words "BRIDGE" and "ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" sliding in. Then, a white spark appears and expands through the rest of the letters, making the text glow.

Audio: A series of whooshing sounds and drumming. When the rectangles shoot, the whooshes sound somewhat like fireworks shooting. At the end, an electricity noise can be heard.
