Logo (1951)
Visuals: As many moving searchlights (or sunrays) flock the background of the logo we see the word "SUNRAY" with large, bold, sans-serif letters displayed in an arch-like form. Almost immediately, "FILMS, INC" fades in just below. Then, a rectangle with an address appears by sweeping from top to bottom. The address is "Cleveland 14, Ohio". Suddenly, a black circle grows just in the middle of the screen, covering the logo, and containing the following text:

Audio: A bombastic fanfare.
