2nd Logo (2016-)

Visuals: Multiple geometric letters spin about on a black background. Two of the letters, "Y" and "G", rotate together in the middle of the screen. Glare then appears reflected on the "YG" which has stopped moving and becomes "merged" into a single wordmark (the "YG" from the previous logo). All the other letters disappear as the background fades to black, leaving out the "YG" in white.

Technique: CGI.
