'''Visuals:''' On a | '''Visuals:''' On a grey background, a simple compass appears. It quickly zooms up really close to the camera, and then "flips" to reveal a black diamond-like shape. A map of the world is wiped into the diamond from left to right as a white outline appears. The diamond's interior once again turns black as it zooms out as the background fades to black. When it reaches the top, a line is drawn through the middle as an "'''I'''" appears in the middle as well. Two more diamonds appear below the "'''I'''" diamond, reading "'''T'''" and "'''C'''", and appearing as the line "connects" them, forming the new ITC logo. It resembles the previous logo, but arranged vertically and with smaller letters. The word "'''presents'''" appears below. | ||

*'''1973-1977''': On a dark blue space background with zooming stars, three semi-transparent diamonds are seen, coloured red, green, and blue respectively, "interlocked" within each other and spinning around like a top. From the centre of the screen, a white ITC logo, designed much like last time but now turned slightly upward to give a 3D effect and thus making it larger towards the bottom, zooms in and stops at a comfortable distance from the screen, and either "''PRESENTS''", "'''PRODUCTION'''", or "'''DISTRIBUTION'''" pop up under it before the sequence fades out. | *'''1973-1977''': On a dark blue space background with zooming stars, three semi-transparent diamonds are seen, coloured red, green, and blue respectively, "interlocked" within each other and spinning around like a top.
