'''Logo:''' On a blue, burgundy, or black background (it depends on the film deterioration), we see a white square zooming in. Then it spins around with a residue-trailing effect. The squares stop in the middle of the screen, changing into two squares, colors changing throughout. The two squares become outlined in white and transform into "fi", with part of the "f" red, while the rest of the lettering is white. The "f" extends as the dot of the "i". The text "A FILMS INCORPORATED PRESENTATION" in white with "FILMS INCORPORATED" bigger than the others, wipes in from the left under it.
