'''Logo:''' We see a cloudy {{color|gray}} sky with snow-capped mountains, panning southwest to a batch of clear gemstones below, complete with rainbow lights reflecting off them. Two of the gemstones streak into the air, positioning themselves to the shape of a long isosceles triangle, in a nod to the Alliance logo. The image fades into the boomerang-shaped Alliance "Metallic A" but with the bottom left {{color|gold}} and the top right black. The text "{{font|Serif|'''ALLIANCE ATLANTIS'''}}" in Wide Latin is seen below. A spark flies from the bottom to the top as thunder can be seen in the clouds.
