Then the logo and words streak toward and away from the screen.
-'''Variant:''' On some films, "a presentation of" is not shown.
-'''Technique:''' The fading in/out of the words "a presentation of', streaking of the logo and words, all done in early computer animation.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' Usually silent or synth fanfare.
