Logo (March 24, 2022-)

Visuals: On a black background, the letters forming "stranger than fiction", in a fat face font and set to a tan-medium violet red horizontal gradient, scroll to the right while overlapping each other. Before they stop, a blue-red-yellow horizontal gradient transparent bar scrolls from behind with the words overlayed on top of it. Next, the letters compact into the centre and the primary color filled bar shrinks. The letters grow and separate, now displaying "stf" with a gray-dark plum gradient fill and large gold and white bokeh lights scrolling within its fill. After the separation, "STRANGER THAN FICTION", in a minuscule scale and same fill, fades in below, aligned to the logo's bottom right.

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: The logo is seen on River and Fungi: The Web of Life.
