Technique: A still painted image.
Audio: None or opening theme of the movie.

2nd Logo (1990-1997)
Visuals: A gray background with a small red dot quickly fades in, as a backwards lowercase "h" is drawn in black. The text "HERALD" (all capital letters) then slowly rises out of the middle of the screen and rests below the dot. Then, the names in Japanese:

Visuals: On a very dull sky background, there is a red planet Earth rotating and zooming out of the camera as the curved "h" from the previous logo slowly spins around to line up with the globe.

Technique: CGI.
