Logo: On a grass plain, we see black swallows fly towards the screen. The words "Przedsiębiorstwo Realizacji Filmów - Zespoły Filmowe" appears on the screen and then disappears. The swallows form a big "X" and the words "Zespół Filmowy" appears left from it and then disappears. Additional swallows appear and merge into the X. Suddenly, it dissolves back into the swallows and the swallows fly to the screen and cover it, leaving just the black background. The white word "PRZEDSTAWIA" is then seen.

FX/SFX: The swallows flying and merging.
