Logo: On an ocean background set during sundown, a red dragon appears. The camera rotates around it and it eventually roars, letting out fire. The sky brightens up and the dragon transforms into a 2D image on a black rectangle with a white border, shown at a left angle. The text "JONES 21ST CENTURY" is seen below it in a futuristic font.
Variant: A later version has the dragon in a purple color. The animation is also videotaped and the text below simply reads "JONES", with a trademark symbol next to the word.
FX/SFX: The camera rotation, the dragon roaring and turning into a 2D image. Dated CGI, but it was pretty advanced at its time.
Music/Sounds: An ominous tribal tune with a roar sound, ending in a ding and a brief choir sound.
Availability: Appeared on some 90s TV movies, such as CIA: Exiled (which can be seen on Screen Media's Popcornflix website), The Story Lady, and The Little Kidnappers (available on VHS from BWE Video). The later version appears on TV airings of the 1996 remake of Holiday Affair (it does not appear on the Feature Films for Families VHS release).
Editor's Note:The dragon roaring and the ominous (at first) theme could put some off.
