'''Logo:''' It starts out at night with a crescent-shape moon and some clouds in a reflection of water, then we see a bobber and fishing reel splash into the water. The camera then pans upwards through bunch of clouds to see a boy, sitting on top of a crescent-shape moon going fishing. Suddenly, a "D" appears, and as the camera pans to the right, letters such as "R", "E", "A" and the next proceeding letters follow, although parts of the letters are covered by the clouds. We then swoop past a whole bunch of several clouds, engulfing the screen. They then revolve away to reveal the text "<span style="font-family:Times;">'''DREAMWORKS'''</span>" with "<span style="font-family:Times;">'''SKG'''</span>" appearing underneath with lines on the left and right of it respectively, and the text is set by the dark of night with clouds to accompany it. | '''Logo:''' It starts out at night with a crescent-shape moon and some clouds in a reflection of water, then we see a bobber and fishing reel splash into the water.

'''Trivia:''' The idea for this logo was a concept from co-founder Steven Spielberg. He originally wanted the logo to be CGI depicting a man fishing standing on the moon, but his frequent collaborator Dennis Muren suggested a hand-painted logo instead. Artist Robert Hunt was then commissioned to design the logo. Spielberg loved one of Hunt's designs, a boy sitting on a crescent moon while fishing, and it was made into a full-motion logo. The boy who is seen sitting on the moon is based upon Hunt's son, William. | |||

'''FX/SFX:''' The bobber dropping, the reveal of the letters. Great CGI from Industrial Light & Magic that still holds up more than twenty years later. It was directed by ILM animation supervisor Wes Takahashi, and Hunt provided some of the resources for the logo. | '''FX/SFX:''' The bobber dropping, the reveal of the letters.
