Logo (Unknown Year)
Visuals: The first element to appear is the background, which is a movie still containing an upper-class woman holding a small flower, smirking at a man in a suit. Both are in a decorated room and beside a floral-decorated curtain next to the window. Several seconds later, the following text, in white and with a bottom-right facing shadow, fades in:

Later, as the background fades to black, two geometric symbols appear on the bottom centre, sliding towards each other: an "i"-shaped figure and a box with two circles on top on the left and right respectively. Then, the symbols are encased within a thinly bordered box.
Trivia: The movie still is taken from the 1920 film, Erotikon.[2]
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: None or the opening theme of the film.
Availability: The logo is seen on restored prints of Familjen Björck, Första divisionen, and Tösen från Stormyrtorpet.
