Logo (September 8, 1984-1988)

Visuals: On a shaded blue background, the thick silver letters "TMS" are shown in the center, shining brightly before they rotate back 90 degrees to show their bottom sides. They shrink inwards and morph themselves into a single ribbon, contorting into a wave of thin and thick lengths as a rounded rectangle frame draws around it, with the ribbon's right tip combining together with the frame. The rectangle stops most of the way through, forming a thick line that connects to the left tip of the ribbon, forming a different, cursive "Tms". As this occurs, many silver squares grow in size and form "ENTERTAINMENT" in a silver Helvetica font. The logo's shine shifts to the left, turning it dark blue as the screen cuts out just before it fully goes off-screen.

Variants:

  • On Bionic Six, the logo is shifted upwards a bit and freezes on the last frame of the logo for several seconds.
  • Most of the time, the logo fades out as soon as the logo is formed.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Silence or the end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on TV shows like The Mighty Orbots (before the MGM/UA "Diamond Jubilee" TV logo), Visionaries (before the Sunbow logo), and Bionic Six (before the MCA TV logo). This is preserved on the North American Media Blasters DVD releases of Galaxy High School.
