Background
Dentsu is a Japanese international advertising and public relations joint stock company headquartered in Tokyo. It is currently the largest advertising agency in Japan and the fifth largest advertising agency network in the world in terms of worldwide revenues. Dentsu does business with almost every major institution in Japan, accounting for about 28 percent of the national advertising budget. Its connections to the government are so tight that The New York Times referred to it as "the unofficial communications department of the governing Liberal Democratic Party", and it has also been likened to the CIA on account of its reach.

 | This logo is currently missing in action. Please do not add reconstructions of the logo if any exist, as they are likely not accurate to the actual logo. Additionally, do not attempt to add a finalized description of the logo until it has been found in its entirety. |
Visuals: On a black background, a bright silver pointed "D" zooms back, settling into place. Shades of reflecting rainbows from two faint copies of the same letter fade in and merge into a straight line in which flashes, then the "D" itself afterwards. "DENTSU" either fades or flashes in underneath it.
Technique: Backlit cel animation.
Audio: A 4-note synth string.
Availability: Unknown. It may have appeared on VHS/Laserdisc releases of certain movies, though chances of having this logo might be difficult. [Examples?]
