* Usually, the music used is a five-note synthesized fanfare (composed on an ARP Odyssey synth), complete with a timpani drum roll playing throughout with a final, rather loud pound at the end. Even after the logo fades (or cuts) to black, the timpani's echo can still be heard. It is different for both the filmed and videotaped variants, with the audio quality being clearer for the latter. | * Usually, the music used is a five-note synthesized fanfare (composed on an ARP Odyssey synth), complete with a timpani drum roll playing throughout with a final, rather loud pound at the end.
