Visuals: On a gray background, a filmstrip figure with white-colored holes and the Greek letters ΘΒ in the center is shown. After a brief zoom-in to the logo, the words of "Θανάσης Βέγγος" and "Ταινίες Γέλιου" underneath, in handwritten script, appear one-by-one.
Variant: A color version also exists, with the background and elements of the logo tinted in pink.
Technique: Traditional animation.
Audio: A loud patriotic horn fanfare plays at the beginning (an excerpt of Gioachino Rossini's "William Tell Overture: Finale"), followed by a cymbal crash, and then two weird spring-like sounds, ending with a loud bombastic orchestral note.
Availability: Seen on Thanasis Veggos films released in the time period. It has made a surprise appearance on the company's last film, Trellos kai pasis Ellados (with the colored variant).
Legacy: It is a favorite for people who grew up with Veggos's own films.
