'''Visuals:''' We see a close-up of the moon, which zooms backward until it is on the left side of the screen. Right before the moon stops in its place, the silhouette of a young boy on a bicycle with an alien in its basket (Elliott and E.T. from ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'') slowly flies in front of the moon from the left side of the moon's border, stopping in the middle (even when the bicycle stops, the wheels continue to move). At the same time, two {{color|orange}}/{{color|blue}} stripes move in from both sides of the screen. The stripe that comes in from the bottom left side places itself right underneath the moon, while the stripe that comes in from the top right side places itself near the top of the moon (this creates a small space to the right of the moon bordered by the stripes on the top and the bottom). When the moon and stripes are in place, the word "{{color|blue|AMBLIN}}" (once again, in Optima) appears in a strange fade-in (shadows form the {{color|blue}} letters one at a time, referred to as a "shadow wipe"/"refracting prism"). When the word "{{color|blue|AMBLIN}}" is finally revealed, the wheels begin to stop and smaller {{color|orange}} text appears under the bottom {{color|orange}}/{{color|blue}} lines that reads "{{color|orange|ENTERTAINMENT}}" in spaced out letters to fit the width of the bottom line. Both words are in a similar thin font. | '''Visuals:''' We see a close-up of the moon, which zooms backward until it is on the left side of the screen.
