Logo: On a zooming space background, several white blocks flash in and glow, forming a combined "AV", looking like something from a 8-bit console. It then become carbon black with pink in the spaces. The "AV" then rotates and zooms in, leading through a tunnel of pink lines as a ball flies through and then disappears in front of a wormhole tunnel made of blue squiggles. More balls of light fly in as pink and magenta 3D blocks fly in. As they form into place, a trail of "NEC" appears from the top while "AVENUE" comes in from the bottom, all before straightening and retracting into the white words. The "AV" from before then shines into a white version of the logo, with the pink and magenta filling in the spaces.

Variant: Sometimes, the logo is still, and on a white background.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: An futuristic synth tune.

Availability: Largely seen on VHS prints by the company, including the Japanese VHS release of Troll 2.
