'''Background''': Amazon.com is an e-commerce and cloud computing company, founded by Jeff Bezos as "Cadabra" on July 5, 1994 in Seattle, Washington. Originally founded as a bookstore, Amazon later diversified to physical audio/video discs, music streaming, software, video games, electronics, car parts, and fresh produce. They also sell "everyday" products (USB cables, batteries, portable speakers, even patio heaters) under the "AmazonBasics" brand, as well as their own supply of electronics (Kindle e-readers, Fire tablets/streaming boxes/sticks, Echo smart speakers). Amazon is also responsible for their line of cloud services, namely Amazon Web Services, Alexa, and Amazon Drive (a competitor to Google Drive). Around 2008, Amazon entered the film production industry, producing ''The Stolen Child'' with [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]]. Two years later, Amazon Studios was created for the purpose of producing/distributing TV shows, movies, and comics from online submissions and crowd-sourced feedback. Their content is distributed through Amazon Video, which is a competitor to [[Netflix Originals|Netflix]] and Hulu. | '''Background''': Amazon.com is an e-commerce and cloud computing company, founded by Jeff Bezos as "Cadabra" on July 5, 1994 in Seattle, Washington.

'''Logo:''' We see the Amazon Studios logo fade in on a black background as it slowly zooms in towards the viewer. It shines, but not so noticeably. | '''Logo:''' We see the Amazon Studios logo fade in on a black background as it slowly zooms in towards the viewer. It shines, but not so noticeably. | ||

'''Logo:''' On what at first glimpse appears to be a {{Font color|blue|blue}}-tinted marble surface, we see a hardcover book in a closed position. As we start to zoom in closer to the book, it opens by itself and flips a few pages. We then see a city starting to form itself (roads uncurling, buildings sticking together like a magnet/stretching into its full position, etc). The marble surface fades to a sunset sky background (just without the sun) as that happens. Moving into center position, the last roads finishing unfurling and we move further on to see street lights, a sidewalk and apartments surrounding our view. As the camera stops moving, we encounter a cinema taking form. The ending product is a typical cinema entrance sign, filled with lighting around the sides, and the Amazon Studios logo in the center of it, finally slamming onto the lighted ceiling below it. | '''Logo:''' On what at first glimpse appears to be a {{Font color|blue|blue}}-tinted marble surface, we see a hardcover book in a closed position.
