* The idea for this logo was a concept from co-founder Steven Spielberg. He originally wanted the logo to be CGI depicting a grown man fishing on the moon, but his frequent collaborator Dennis Muren suggested a hand-painted logo instead. The very first sketch of the logo (with the man) was drawn by artist Gregory Weir-Quiton on a piece of tissue for Spielberg. Artist Robert Hunt was then commissioned to design the logo. Spielberg loved one of Hunt's designs, a boy sitting on a crescent moon while fishing, and it was made into a full-motion logo. The boy who is seen sitting on the moon is based upon Hunt's son, William. | * The idea for this logo was a concept from co-founder Steven Spielberg.

'''Audio:''' A piece of orchestrated music that starts out with a guitar tune, followed by a loud, majestic horn fanfare, and ending with another guitar tune, composed by John Williams. The only SFX is when the bobber hits the water, and it makes a splashing sound. | '''Audio:''' A piece of orchestrated music that starts out with a guitar tune, followed by a loud, majestic horn fanfare, and ending with another guitar tune, composed by John Williams.
