'''Logo:''' We start off on a black screen with a {{color|red}} star engulfing the screen. The star zooms out and changes to {{color|gold|yellow}}, then {{color|blue}}, then {{color|pink}}, {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}, and then {{color|green}}. The star then reappears with a rapidly spinning pattern inside it. A {{color|lightgray|light gray}} bar of light with rainbow coloured rays fades in and the star disappears. The light bar moves slowly like it's scanning before drawing, as more stars sparkle in the background. As the light bar moves to the bottom, a star flashes in the middle and a {{color|lightgray|light gray}} box with a rainbow is wiped in from the top, replicating the light bar's pattern. The rays disappear one by one in a random fashion and the ITC logo and "{{font|Times New Roman|FILM DISTRIBUTORS LTD}}." fade in below the box and the box has finished drawing, revealing it has different sized lines at the end of the rainbow. | '''Logo:''' We start off on a black screen with a {{color|red}} star engulfing the screen.
