'''Music/Sounds:''' A descending "whoosh" is heard when the line fades in, followed by a slow, somewhat somber five-note piano tune with a low synthesizer in the background when the line begins rotating. A longer "whoosh" is also heard throughout this section. When the "UA" is revealed and the "United Artists" texts appears, a short, swelling progression of violins is heard, immediately leading to an uplifting, dramatic 5-note orchestral conclusion. This was composed by Joe Harnell.
