It consists of a large art deco-styled design, with a circle containing a streamliner (a type of train designed to reduce air resistance, with the modern-day equivalent being a bullet train), as well as 3 shiny arcs on the top, 3 bars on the bottom, and wing-like extensions on the sides.

"Streamline", in a black Raceway font surrounded by a heavy blue outline, is above the train, and "PICTURES", in an orange striped art deco font, is written inside the bottom outline of the circle. The entire thing is contained in a white glow. | ||
'''Trivia:''' The final design is actually the logo for Streamline Film Archives (now Streamline Stock Footage), with the word "PICTURES" added below. Streamline Film Archives was owned by friends of Jerry Beck and the name and logo were borrowed from said company because Beck needed a brand identity before a meeting with potential clients. Streamline Stock Footage still uses this logo. The bouncing spark was animated by Chris Casady, a visual effects artist; this effect also appears on Casady's short film ''Pencil Dance'' (1988). | '''Trivia:''' The final design is actually the logo for Streamline Film Archives (now Streamline Stock Footage), with the word "PICTURES" added below.
