Visuals: On a black background, a teal-grey marble textured cylinder flies in, resting near the center of the screen. Then, an "L" with a leftover bolt shape from the tip comes up and the shine draws the M. After this, it turns teal, with the intersected bolt turning white as the text "Oriental Light & Magic Inc." fades in underneath.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth tune with a ding and harp.
