The top half of the slate then rises, and rapidly drops down and hits the bottom half. This changes the top half into the words "'''ALAN LANDSBURG'''" in a white Avant Garde font. The words rise again, then drop down once more. This causes the bottom half to change into the word "'''PRODUCTIONS'''". Another slate pops in, also one-by-one, on top of the words in a traffic arrow-like fashion. | ||
