Logo: On a Persian blue background, we see the white letters "MEVC" in a weird, blocky font zoom-in. Then, in sync with the music, the logo gets outlined in black & some black lines sweep across the logo a few times before the logo gradually changes it's color. Following a wipe-across effect, the lines disappear and some rainbow-colored flags start sweeping across the back-end of the logo. Then, the words "Motion Epics Video Company, Ltd." in a white Century Schoolbook font quickly type in below, then "Presents" (in the same color and font) below all that. Then, the other words disappear and "Presents" zoom-up to the screen and the logo flashes white before the screen abruptly cuts to black.

FX/SFX: The logo zooming in, the colors changing, the sweeping and typing effects, "Presents" zooming-up to the view. These are simple, and ugly even for the time.

Music/Sounds: An excerpt from Mozart's Symphony #40 in G Minor, K 550 - 1. Molto Allegro.
