Logo: On a white background, we see a man wearing a suit and tie and a fedora. Below him is a metal structure that has tall red text that reads "BOAT DRINKS LLC" with a metallic sphere with a disc-like shape to the left of it. We then see five bullet shots missing the logo. The logo then slowly fades out.

Variants:

• There exists a prototype version. The man is zoomed in further and is bigger than the logo; we can also see a bit more of the man below the logo.
• An extended version exists where after a pause, the next few shots continue. Two of them miss again, two of them ricochet off the logo, and the final two hit the logo.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Synthesized sounds of the bullets missing the logo, sounding like a gun with a silencer on it.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• The extended version features extended sound effects. The two missed shots are the same as the previous five, the two shots that hit the logo have a metallic ricochet sound, the final two shots use the same silencer gun style, but sound as though they were impacting into a person. We then hear the sound of a body slumping onto the ground.
• None for the prototype.

Availability: Seen on Asteroids for the PS1. The extended version was found on development files for said game.
