The scene features a transition to a dark, almost black background with dynamic, glowing orange and yellow light trails sweeping across the screen from the bottom and top edges. These trails converge and then dissipate, revealing the central text 'LISTEN ON' in white, followed by the 'audible' logo, also in white text with a distinctive gold wave icon. The lighting is subtle, emanating from these light trails, which briefly illuminate the dark space before settling. The color palette is dominated by the deep dark blue/black background, contrasted sharply by the bright, energetic orange and yellow of the light trails, and the white and gold of the logo. The overall effect is clean, modern, and highlights the brand.
