  The finished logo

Logo: There is footage of an American pekin duck with its head stretched out walking on a grassy field. While the duck rocks its head back and forth, the company name in a serif font and arced downward types in letter by letter, followed by "présente" popping in on the bottom right. After the duck briefly turns and walks away, a close up of the same animal staring at the screen is shown.

Variant: On the Amuse 3 block, the footage, without the text, is shown within a gold border against a blue-gray-blue diagonal gradient background. It peels away after the sequence is complete.

Technique: Live action and possibly cel animation.

Music/Sounds: A strange and unclear quack sound effect plays throughout the first sequence. On the second shot, the duck clearing its throat is heard.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• On French-dubbed prints of Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds and Maeterlinck no Aoi Tori: Tyltyl Mytyl no Bōken Ryokō, the opening theme is used.
• On at least a few French-dubbed prints of Around the World with Willy Fog, the music from the BRB Internacional logo plays over it instead.

Availability: Uncommon.

• Known to have appeared on older French prints of Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds (Les Trois Mousquetaires), Around the World with Willy Fog (Le Tour du Monde en 80 Jours) and Maeterlinck no Aoi Tori: Tyltyl Mytyl no Bōken Ryokō (L'Oiseau Bleu).
• Also appears at the beginning of the Amuse 3 block on FR3.
