Then it fades to black to the next logo (the logo of Screen Gems, Columbia Pictures Television, or whatever plasters the original logo). In 1991, the words "in association with" were removed because the byline-less CPT indent was introduced and had the words "In Association With" above the torch lady, thus eliminating the need for the in-credit "in association with."
FX: The scrolling in the end credits.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of Days of Our Lives. Sometimes you'll hear Ed Prentiss (announcer from 1965-1966) or MacDonald Carey (announcer from 1966-1994) say, "Join us again tomorrow [or Monday, depending on the day of the week] for another episode of Days of our Lives." After Carey died in 1994, they only used a portion of his opening (They used the "Like sands through the hour glass...so are the Days of our Lives" portion, and took out the "This is MacDonald Carey, and these are the Days of our Lives" portion) and the mid-break bumper ("We'll return for the second half of Days of our Lives in just a moment"), and no closing announcement was ever heard after Carey's death.
Availability: Seen on Days of Our Lives episodes of the era, which are sometimes reran on SoapNet.
Scare Factor: Low; depends on the SG/CPT logo coming after that along with the "in association with" to precede that.

FX: The hourglass, the text zooming and shining.
Music/Sounds: Same as above.
Availability: Currently seen on Days of Our Lives episodes from 1994-present, which air on NBC and SoapNet in the United States, and Global in Canada.
Scare Factor: Low to medium; the text coming out of nowhere (ala the "BLAIR" in the Blair Entertainment logo used from 1983 to 1987) can be unnerving. Otherwise, if you're scared by the opening of Days of our Lives, this logo might scare you as well.
