'''Logo:''' On a black background, a hand holds up a lit match, which brings forth a morning skyline background. We fade to a black screen with two flames which resemble a phoenix bird, as "PHOENIX PICTURES" forms below with "PICTURES" in spaced-out letters inside the orange rectangular box under "PHOENIX". A light shines behind the logo and the logo fades out (except for the bird, which turns into an outline before fading away). | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a hand holds up a lit match, which brings forth a morning skyline background.
