'''Logo:''' Over a black background, we see a {{color|gold|golden}} key spinning counter-clockwise towards us. It then makes a stop and backs up slightly off center as the words "{{color|gold|'''GOLD KEY'''}}" also in {{color|gold}}, slide in from underneath. The word "{{color|gold|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" appears right under that as the logo shines throughout.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A triumphant horn/drums fanfare - an edit of the 1978 Bruton Music track "Endeavour," composed by John A. Coleman. This edit was likely sourced from the LP ''Jingles Volume One'', catalog number BRB 1, though it does appear on several different Bruton releases.

'''Legacy:''' While the animation's rough and some might be surprised for the darkness, spinning key, and music, it's also a favorite due to the music. If the music sounds familiar, that's because it is. A slightly different version of "Endeavour" was used in the first [[ITC Film Distributors Ltd.|ITC Film Distributors]] logo.
