''' | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, a spark bounces all over the screen. When it covers the whole screen, it fades to the Streamline Pictures logo. 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.

''' | '''Visuals:''' Zooming into a bed of magma with rocks inside it at night, with flames flickering wildly, the words "Streamline Pictures" rises from the pool, colored a yellow/orange mix of colors. As the words rise up, the camera zooms into the words slowly, only for them to turn silver as they go above the clouds and into space. They rotate and shine a bit as they pass a green moon, and the camera rotates to face them straight-on, with them glowing a blue trail forwards for a bit before they retract. As they stop glowing, a burst of blue particles fires off from the middle of the screen and the logo continues to shine. A purple cloud can also be seen in the background. | ||
