Logo: We see a blue cloudy sky and green mountains. Searchlights are seen moving around these mountains. The camera zooms out a little, causing the beams from searchlights to turn sky blue then pinkish-red. Later, everything cheaply fades into some roman columns on a sand surface, as the background changes to black. A rainbow line passes through all these columns and goes back and forth. The planet Earth later fades in above these columns, the background changes into a blue light background. The rainbow line disappears. The words "SOMACO" (in a rainbow colour), "International." and "Ltd." (in blue script font) zoom out and place themselves and the Earth disappears. Meanwhile, the words rotate a bit to face us, and then zoom back until everything starts to fade to black.

Technique: 3D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A rather dramatic orchestral fanfare that looks like something out of a thriller movie. While this plays, the OS/2 Warp 4 startup sound, a stock majestic brass fanfare (which sounds like the Lorimar Television "Marble Background" and the ending of the Columbia Pictures logo's themes combined), and the OS/2 Warp 3 shutdown sound plays. A whoosh when the words zoom out, and then deep slamming sounds plays after, then a synth ditty.
