'''Logo:''' The camera zooms back through a star-shaped tunnel made out of lines. It zooms so far out that it goes out of a star-like shape revealing the words "GREATER UNION" in a bubbly font which is neon blue. Many lasers shoot the logo in different places and leaves stars on many letters. The letters change to a yellow color and shines many times. The logo then shines more brightly and the words "FILM DISTRIBUTORS" are revealed in a yellow font. The logo then glows once more. | '''Logo:''' The camera zooms back through a star-shaped tunnel made out of lines.

'''Logo:''' On a space background with a purple nebula, the camera slowly pans down to reveal the Earth's horizon as a white flash of light appears on the center of the nebula. A spinning silver disc then zooms in shining to a comfortable position. It stops spinning, revealing it to be a stylized "GU" monogram (an updated version of the monogram used in the [[GUO Film Distributors|GUO]] days). Below, the following text also in silver zooms in from the horizon: | '''Logo:''' On a space background with a purple nebula, the camera slowly pans down to reveal the Earth's horizon as a white flash of light appears on the center of the nebula.
