Logo: On a white canvas background, there are blue paint strokes rising from the top and bottom portions of the screen. These strokes would form a dark woods setting while not only releasing silhouettes of birds but also the text "LAVA BEAR" in a stylized, blocky font and "A RELIANCE ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" in a normal font, both of which are in white. After the background becomes dark, it can be seen glittering.

Technique: 2D animation of the paint strokes moving and transforming into a forest background, the birds flying, and the text appearing.

Music/Sounds: A soft and slow-moving three-note piano melody accompanied with nature sounds such as the river flowing and birds flying.

Availability: Uncommon. Debuted on The Rover and can be seen on their other films such as The Forest and Arrival.
