'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|darkmagenta|boysenberry-colored}} marble background, there is a 3D "silvery" version of the "C" from which the screen zooms out, along with the 3D text "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''THE CANNELL STUDIOS'''}}" in Times New Roman font tilted at a 90-degree angle, then does a 90-degree turn to face the camera while the "C" takes its position below the Cannell text. Once the text and the "C" go into their above and below positions, respectively, the "C" quickly flashes, turning everything into 2D. A copyright notice for Stephen J. Cannell Productions, Inc. fades in below the logo after the animation is all done.
