Visuals: There is a wide raintree on a sunny grass field. Ripples appear on the screen, making a transition to the words "RAINTREE PICTURES" (both in Chinese and English) on a marble background. The MediaCorp logo would later fade in above with the Chinese translation below.
Variants:
- An early version exists, where the tree is different and after the transition, only the "RAINTREE PICTURES" name appears on a plain white background.
- On some films, the logo appears still.
- In 2003, the Chinese MediaCorp text was replaced with the "Studios" script. The logo also gains a shadow after appearing.
- On Homerun, the Chinese name is absent.
- Later on, the ripples would transition to a drawing of the raintree on the same marble background, with "MediaCorp Raintree Pictures" in a plain font below.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Originally none. In 2003, a relaxing violin/piano theme was added, with the sounds of water drops splashing.
Availability: Seen on a majority of the company's films from the era.
- It appears on The Tree, I Not Stupid and its sequel, Internal Affairs II, The Eye and its sequel, The Best Bet, The Maid, and Homerun.
- The early version is only seen on Chicken Rice War.
- The later version also appears on the New Zealand production The Tattooist.
