'''Visuals:''' An abstract metallic "D" materializes on a black background with moving red fog. A laser cuts out a number "3" as the "D" rotates around. The "3" separates from the "D" and moves to the left, while turning 90 degrees and becoming a lowercase "m". The laser also pulls out and moves along with the "m" forming the letters "etro". The laser disappears and forms a small explosion soon after.

'''Variant:''' A still version exists, with the end product on a solid white background.

'''Technique:''' 3D animation.

'''Audio:''' A techno theme. When the company text is formed a snippet of "Heavy Duty Motors (With Circuit Breakers Closing)" by Audio Fidelity is heard.

'''Availability:''' Appeared on Data Design Interactive titles for the PlayStation 2 and PC, ''Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing'' and ''Anubis II'' being examples. Also appeared on the PS2 version of ''Ex Zeus''.
