Logo: On a blue/violet sky with a sand surface, a sphere comes out with it's shadow illuminating the surface, and moves to the center. A flash appears and disappears from behind. The sphere slices into 3 pieces, which then turn into spheres. All these spheres start forming the word "MAQ" in an elegant font, and when it's formed, it shines. "PRODUCTIONS INC.", in yellow, slides in below the logo.

FX/SFX: 90's CGI. Nothing impressive to see here, but the logo's still good for a Filipino film of the time.
