1st (known) Intro (September 1, 1989-Early 1990s)

• 

Visualsː Against stock footage of Greenland is the text "QANOROOQ" blinking slowly. A blue line at the side is also shown blinking. A man is revealed aiming a rifle before the footage cuts to another footage of Greenland and the same footage in first-person (where a boat is a token place).

Technique: Live action footage mixed with computer animation.

Audioː Somewhat groovy music with a synth piece involved.

2nd Intro (1990s-1996)

• 

Visualsː Against a black background, a globe of Earth is shown at the north part, showing parts of the United States, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, The Nordics and Europe, and Northern Russia. The text "QANOROOQ" zooms out. Afterwards, the text reverses and does the same zooming as the camera zooms closer to Greenland.

Technique: Cel animation.

• 

Visualsː The logo starts with footage of Greenland, varying from a building to footage of a rocket launching, while a conjoined coin with the map of Greenland and a stick in a gold color spins to the center. As the shape spins, another gold stick flies towards the coin and settles behind said coin. The coin jitters, resulting the stick to become the text "QANOROOQ" and places itself below the coin.
