'''Visuals:''' While the animations are different, the end results are about the same:
* '''Version A (1968-1973):''' On a black background, a very small, white right triangle, along with a thick {{color|red}} line, both italicized, slide in from the right side of the screen. As the triangle reaches the center, both shapes grow and stretch into a much larger size, and the {{color|red}} box shrinks into a rectangle. This creates an empennage (the tail fin of an airplane) that's off-center. "'''AVCO'''" in a Microgramma font appears 2-by-2 on the white part, and "'''BROADCASTING CORPORATION'''" in a different font appears under the empennage, stacked on each other. Fading in with it is "{{color|gold|'''PRODUCTION'''}}" in the same font, but located under the {{color|red}} rectangle and much smaller, and a really small copyright notice reading "{{Small|©(year) '''AVCO BROADCASTING CORPORATION'''}}" also appears at the bottom of the screen.

* '''Version B (Early 1970s-1977)''': On a black background, a white triangle outline starts to zoom in, slowly extending as it does. As we go through it, several of the sides are revealed to be made of {{color|red}}, {{color|green}}, and {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} in several different arrangements. When it goes off-screen, four copies of the empennage in {{color|red}}, {{color|limegreen|green}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and {{color|gold|yellow}}, emerge from the corners of the screen and all come together to briefly form a white empennage before it fades to the Avco logo. The result is similar to the normal version, but the logo is centered with the text below it, and all of the text is in the Microgramma font as well. The text is also a bit smaller and more compact, "{{color|darkgray|'''PRODUCTION'''}}" is in {{color|darkgray|dark gray}}, and the copyright is much bigger as well.
