Logo: On a black background, three spinning circles fade in and zoom in towards the screen, flashing multiple colors. Once they stop zooming in, they stop spinning one by one, becoming a stylized orange "U", light-golden "M", and red "C", while the words "UMC PICTURES" zoom in below. The byline "a division of universal marion corporation" wipes in below.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: A piece that starts with beeps in rhythm for the turning "UMC" and then a mish-mash of Moog synthesizer sounds rising in volume.
Availability: Can be seen on the 1984 VHS, 2006 DVD, and 2009 Blu-Ray of The Twelve Chairs, and the VCI DVD of Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in The Bronx. Was also seen on Glen and Randa.
