-Logo: On a black background, we see four lines-- colored green, blue, yellow, and red-- move across the screen from left to right. Then, another set of lines moves toward the top right, followed by another moving toward the top left. This ends with two more sets of lines curving at opposite directions. The camera zooms out to show the lines forming a "'''7<'''" with "SEVEN KEYS" below. "PRESENTS" appears below.

-Music/Sound Variants:
-* Later releases had silence or the movie's theme, oddly enough, probably due to plastering a company's logo.
