'''Logo:''' Two comet-like streaks with a blueish glow swerve toward each other. As the lines get closer, the ends of each start to gain a red glow. When the lines connect, a red fireworks-type effect flashes/explodes in the background, and the name "Lorimar-Telepictures" (which has both company names in their usual fonts in white 3D lettering, with a hyphen between them) zooms-up rapidly in the center. When it has finished zooming out, the red "fireworks" fade into a black background, which yet again, starts to fade to blue. Sparkles appear, making parts of the logo shine.
