Logo: On a black background, we see many white letters falling from the sky. Then a box fades in as the letters settle inside, forming "MRC" in the  left part with a black rectangle containing the company name on the right. All of the text is in a Tahoma font.

Variants:
 * On the Shorts game for Nintendo DS, the background is white.
 * On television shows, and on Linha de Passe and Shorts: Episode 0, the logo is still.
