'''Logo:''' On a black background 3D multi-colored "petals" (yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, and green), which resemble a film reel's holes, slowly spin and zoom in toward us. When the "petals" fill the entire screen, they turn 2D on a white background and zoom out, then lean to the left with a shadow that resembles a multi-colored film reel. "TECHNICOLOR(R)" and "Color Matters" fade in underneath the petals. | '''Logo:''' On a black background 3D multi-colored "petals" (yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, and green), which resemble a film reel's holes, slowly spin and zoom in toward us.

'''Music/Sounds:''' First, a choir harmonizes throughout, then we start hearing a slowly ascending clicking sound (perhaps representing the spinning of the film reel), which soon begin to descend in tone. When the film reel zooms out, a gentle 8-note piano tune plays. The variant has a short version that begins when the reel sound descends. The Technicolor Creative Services notice is silent. | '''Music/Sounds:''' First, a choir harmonizes throughout, then we start hearing a slowly ascending clicking sound (perhaps representing the spinning of the film reel), which soon begin to descend in tone.

'''Availability:''' The long version can be seen on the library edition VHS of Amistad; that release is extremely difficult to find, and it's unknown if it appeared on other releases.

'''Logo:''' We start with colorful thunderclouds and a multi-color circle. Blue tint occurs to reveal we're in the blue portion of the Technicolor film reel, which starts spinning around from left to right. A multi-colored flash occurs once it's in place and "TECHNICOLOR" in the same font as the previous logo appears with a shine from the left. A light ray creates the film reel's sides and shadow, "by THOMSON" (generic and corporate font respectively) appears under TECHNICOLOR and the logo shines from the right. | '''Logo:''' We start with colorful thunderclouds and a multi-color circle.
