Logo: We zoom towards the D on ablack background. We see a clock that Pepino is holding. He gets rid of a lot of junk and gets a drill, making it a time machine. The time machine then expands to cover up Pepino as the hands move closer and start spinning. It then goes back into Pepino's hands as the hands then becomes a propeller as the camera zooms away, revealing the Troublemaker Studios logo looking more simple as the gradients were removed and the word Studios is in a different font.
