'''Visuals:''' On a black background, an outline of the MGM-UA logo zooms out, leaving a smoky trail behind it. The trail and "MGM-UA" outline splits into three. The smoky trails get sucked into the logo, which stops in the top center of the screen. The "MGM-UA" logo is a metallic, [[GBH|WGBH]]-like outline with "'''MGM-U\'''" on it. Then, the letters in the words "{{color|red|'''MGM/UA''' C O M M U N I C A T I O N S C O.}}", in {{color|red}}, appear one by one below "'''MGM-U\'''". A {{color|red}} line starts in the center of the company name and splits into two, one line going toward the top of the screen, and the other toward the bottom. The lines wipe the screen and bring forth either the MGM or UA logos. The MGM-UA logo zooms toward the viewer as this happens. | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, an outline of the MGM-UA logo zooms out, leaving a smoky trail behind it.
