'''Logo''' | '''Logo:''' On a black background, the white top piece of a silhouette of a horse flashes beams of light as it eases back to the middle of the screen. As it does this, a <font color="#ff0000">red</font> circle rises from the background and two more pieces of the silhouette (also flashing light) fly from the left and right. They meet with the background of the circle turning <font color="#ff0aa1">pinkish</font>-white. Then an <font color="#ffa500">orange </font>outlining of the pegasus eases back and goes to the circle. It flashes red and it turns into a painting of the pegasus behind an <font color="#ffa500">orange </font>sun. Below that, it flashes <font color="#ff0000">red</font>, and "<i><b>METROPOLITAN FILMEXPORT</b></i>" appears below. | ||

'''Logo''' | '''Nickname:''' "The Rising Pegasus" | ||
'''Logo:''' We start with the wall of <font color="#ffa500">orange</font>-<font color="#ffff00">yellow </font>glass bars and the legs of Pegasus running somewhere. Then his head appears, seen from another point of view, and he rears in the color of light, which quickly forms the sun eclipse surrounded by <font color="#ff0000">red </font>aura. The words "<font color="#808080">METROPOLITAN FILMS</font>" fades and shines. | |||
'''Variant:''' On most trailers from the company, as well as on a few films, like a Belgian VHS release of ''The Cell'' and a French TV airing of ''The Mask'', there's a short version of this logo, starting with the Pegasus rearing. | '''Variant:''' On most trailers from the company, as well as on a few films, like a Belgian VHS release of ''The Cell'' and a French TV airing of ''The Mask'', there's a short version of this logo, starting with the Pegasus rearing. | ||
