Logo: The screen flashes from white and the camera pans through the trailed words "Times New Roman" on a purple aurora background. As the camera pans to the side, the lines start to draw itself and form two rectangles with a thin rectangle between it while the words "Times New Roman" flips in inside the rectangle. As the camera zooms into the finished logo, the logo flashes, a white glow appears behind the rectangle and the trailed words disappear. The words shine before the camera stops zooming in.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: An electronic hit that increases its pitch overtime with a new-age synth tune playing in the background.

Availability: Rare. Seen on their films at the time, such as My Lucky Star and Marriage with a Fool.

Logo: We fade in to see the clouds on a starfield. The camera then pans to the right, and we can see the words "Times New Roman" as the rectangle draws itself, forming the same logo from before. The logo then turns golden and golden particles fly in to from the word "Times New Roman" below. The starfield fades out as the word "Times New Roman" is done forming.

Variant: On some films, the fade in effect at the beginning was omitted.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A harmonious orchestral theme.

Availability: Rare. Seen on their films at the time, such as Legendary Assassin.
