1st Logo (1986-19??)

Technique: The primitive computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A snippet of "Giants Airgate (Pop Version)" by Power Pack.

Availability: Rare. Seen on erotica movies.

2nd Logo (19??-1997)

Logo: On a black background, We see the proper logo normally zooming & rotating. The text "Auriga" wipes onto the right. On a few seconds, the Auriga text fades out and the proper logo flips onto the right. Then the five first letters of the alphabet can be seen flying onto the right. The text "Auriga, Bringt, Clous, Der, Erotik" (besides the first letters being in red, the rest of the text is in blue) can be seen scrolling to the top.

Technique: The stretching, the flipping, the scrolling, the wipe right text effect.
