Logo[]
(1983-Early '90s?):
Against a sky blue/black gradient background, three parallelograms, colored red, green, and blue respectively, slide in from the top, bottom, and top respectively. They zoom out to the right, revealing "Colorization Inc", in white, to its right. They begin glowing in rainbow colors, and the words

above the logo, and

below it, all in the colors you see here (the second line is supposed to be white). Below all that is some white copyright info. All of this fades out, and the text

appears.
Variants[]
- For TV shows, the animation is slightly sped up, and the following credits

Aubrey Duffy
appear below instead. The background is a navy blue/black gradient here, and a trademark symbol is located on the N in "Colorization".
- A very early version has the logo still and on a cream/navy blue gradient background. Here, the text is chyroned in, with "Colorization Inc" staying white, and the credits are arranged differently.
- Later on, when it gone under Qintex's control, the logo resembles its TV counterpart and has the top line and copyright missing.
Music/Sounds[]
It begins with three synth horn notes synced to the appearance of the color bars, then a few synth bells, a seven-note synth horn fanfare, four more synth bells, three more synth horn notes, and some more synth bells as the music fades out. Later, a different fanfare with synthesized horns and a bass drum portion was used. The short variant uses only the bass drum section of the latter fanfare.
Scare Factor[]
Low, the distorted synth theme may bother a few.
