(1985-1992): On a black background, there is a shirtless man howling or screaming while the camera zooms into his face. The word "CAUTION" (in pinkish red, with the "C" looking like a serpent that goes under the stylized "A" and "U") appears, with the byline "films that break the mold!" (also in pinkish red) appearing below it. The Japanese words "株式会社タカラ映像事業部" (A Film Division of the Takara Company) fade in on the bottom right corner of the screen.

Variant[]

In the final years of operation, there is an alternative version where the word "CAUTION" in red spins quickly on a black background. After that, the words "films that break the mold!" in white, wipe in from left to right below the word "CAUTION". After a bit, the logo flips downward.

Music/Sounds[]

The man howling or screaming (the exact howl or scream varies from tape to tape), and then a loud timpani drum hit when the logo appears. The variant uses only the timpani sound.

Scare Factor[]

Depending on variant:

Original variant: Medium for the howling variant, and Medium to nightmare for the screaming variant. Some will be unnerved by the dark atmosphere and the nonsensical subject matter. The timpani drum hit may also startle a few. Those who are used to it will have less of a problem, and some may love its overall humorousness and/or weirdness.

Alternate variant: Low to medium. It may confuse some people who were expecting the original version but all thanks to the absence of the shirtless man, but timpani sound may still startle a few.
