'''Technique:''' A combination of live-action | '''Technique:''' A combination of live-action footage (the Pegasus and cloud background, both filmed separately) and CGI (the light beam, wings, text, and fog), directed by John Callas for Intralink Film Graphic Design. The footage of the white stallion was shot in a hangar at the Santa Monica Airport. The wings were created by combining real feathers with the white stallion's image via computer morphing. The cloud background was a large model shot in a studio. Behind-the-scenes stills of this logo (including alternate lighting of the cloud background and close-ups of the horse) can be seen on Callas's Facebook account. | ||
'''Audio:''' A majestic arrangement of the last logo's fanfare, this time composed by Bill Johnson. It starts with an ascending and descending back-and-forth piano glissando, followed by a two-note descending xylophone tune, on the last note, the same six opening notes from the last logo begin. Between the third and fourth notes, there is a delay filled with a four-note tuba tune. The music rises in intensity as we hear more and more instruments come in (including brass instruments and drums), ending in a very majestic fanfare. | '''Audio:''' A majestic arrangement of the last logo's fanfare, this time composed by Bill Johnson.
