.jpg)
Nickname: "The Outline of Pegasus"
Logo: On a black background, the white top piece of a silhouette of a horse flashes beams of light as it eases back to the middle of the screen. As it does this, a red circle rises from the background and two more pieces of the silhouette (also flashing light) fly from the left and right. They meet with the background of the circle turning pinkish-white. Then an orange outlining of the pegasus eases back and goes to the circle. It flashes red and it turns into a painting of the pegasus behind an orange sun. Below that, it flashes red, and "METROPOLITAN FILMEXPORT" appears below.
Variant: The background sometimes is black and blue
FX/SFX: The flying outlines and two light splashes.
Music/Sounds: A synthesized triumphant fanfare.

Nickname: "The Rising Pegasus"
Logo: We start with the wall of orange-yellow glass bars and the legs of Pegasus running somewhere. Then his head appears, seen from another point of view, and he rears in the color of light, which quickly forms the sun eclipse surrounded by red aura. The words "METROPOLITAN FILMS" fades and shines.

Music/Sounds: First sounds of horse hooves followed with short synth fanfare. There is also high and low tone versions of the theme. In some movies, the opening theme of the movie is heard.
