'''Logo:''' We start with a circle outline on a black background growing to reveal a shot of a blimp promoting ''Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko'', with Gex kids on a blimp. Then, as the blimp flies off, we look straight to a model ship on water, with the Crystal Dynamics logo on the model ship as seen on some covers of some Crystal Dynamics games. The camera slowly pans to reveal it, with birds flying over the ship. The Crystal Dynamics logo accompanies the gecko Gex with sunglasses.
