(2016-)
Nickname: "The Boy and the Airplane"

Logo: We fade in to the silhouette of the boy holding an airplane while running up the hill at sunset. When he reaches the top of the hill, the boy throws the airplane and watches it fly around. Then, the airplane comes towards us, cutting to a black screen. We fade in to the background of the sun with the silhouette of a boy jumping, holding an airplane with the words "ART PICTURES STUDIO" and "SINCE 1992" in yellow-orange next to him.

Variant: On Invasion, the logo animates as a hologram on a dark background. This is part of the prologue which appears in the same way.

FX/SFX: CGI animation, then the fading-in and out.

Music/Sounds: A very majestic, romantic theme.

Availability: Can be seen on films like Kikoriki: Legend of the Golden Dragon
