Visuals: On a red carpet with a spotlight, there's a toy clown playing a violin. The camera quickly zooms out and settles itself to reveal the entire body of a toy clown and its green sweater, while the clown bends its body. During that, the company name, in a handwritten font, rapidly zoomed out from a violin to the bottom-right of the screen, and the camera shakes a bit as the screen flickers slightly.

Variant: A short version exists on all of the filmography (excluding season 1 of Dirt).

Technique: A mix of stop-motion and computer animation.

Audio: A poorly-played 8-note violin tune.

Audio Variant: The short version cuts the last two notes of the music.

Availability: The full version was seen on season 1 of Dirt. The short version is seen on season 2 of Dirt and all of House of Lies and also on the miniseries Valley of the Boom.
