Variants:
 * There is a still version where the logo is on a metallic background, the logo has large shadows coming behind it, and it is being shown by a spotlight.
 * There is also a closing print variation.

FX/SFX: The letters arrange themselves. None for the variant.

Music/Sounds: A short flute/string tune with a glockenspiel that turns into an orchestral fanfare, none, or the closing theme.
