* Opening: The logo begins the same as in the second [[RKO Radio Pictures]] logo. After a few seconds, a segmented white-lined rectangle with a cut on the left side and the text "RKO PICTURES" appearing on opposite sides of the red thunderbolt triangle design emerges from the transmitter tip, and moves downward, zooming towards the lower third of the screen, then the background fades to black. | * Opening: The logo begins the same as in the second [[RKO Radio Pictures]] logo.

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a black background is a box with a white border with the thunderbolt triangle at the bottom. Inside the box is the famous radio tower on earth. On top the antenna "R", "K" and "O" appear one by one, in red and in its company font. Then "P I C T U R E S" flies in and rests at the bottom of "RKO". Then "DISTRIBUTION" appears at the bottom at the top of the thunderbolt triangle. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' In a cloudy space environment, we pan back from a series of spinning clouds to reveal the famed RKO tower, now {{color|gold|yellow}} and rendered in CGI, and still on top of a rotating Earth. A bright light is seen on the transmitter tip of the tower, and when the camera fully zooms back in a comfortable position, the tower then emits signals. The text "{{color | ||
|red|RKO}} PICTURES" fades in on top of the transmitter. "{{color | |red|RKO}} PICTURES" fades in on top of the transmitter. "{{color | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We see the previous logo animating in reverse in black and white. As it zooms to the bright light, there is a thunderbolt that appears out of the light and it displays the letters "{{color | ||

|silver|silver}} Gotham lettering with a shine effect, with a thunderbolt sticking out of the "K". The clouds later fade into a black background. | |silver|silver}} Gotham lettering with a shine effect, with a thunderbolt sticking out of the "K". The clouds later fade into a black background. | ||
