* Opening: The sequence begins with the blue background variant of the previous logo. After it turns {{color|blue}}, it zooms out onto a scrolling chrome filmstrip and "dissolves" into its respective space. The filmstrip has three boxes in it. The left has the Paramount print logo (with the Gulf+Western byline) engraved in it, the middle box has the CIC Video logo in it, and the box on the right has the Universal print logo of the time (a wireframe globe inside a stylized U with "UNIVERSAL" below) in it. The word "{{color|gold|PREVIEW}}" scrolls past, then the screen is taken up by a white flash.

* Closing: The sequence starts off with the white flash disappearing, revealing the filmstrip with the "PREVIEW" text on it. It then flips over to reveal the 3 boxes in it. Suddenly, the CIC logo turns full color (that is, blue and white) and zooms up, taking up the entire screen.
