Logo: On a black starry background, we see bright yellow dust appearing around the middle of the screen and then turns clockwise a little to form into the bright yellow italic text Sandstar. Then huge flames are seen fully bursting out in 4 directions behind the letter Awhich the flames cover up the entire text. The flames then stop bursting out and disappears to show the letterA now as a large 4-point star.

Variant: On a 2001 VHS print of Franklin's Magic Christmas, a enhanced version was seen which when the logo is completelyfrom dust, the flames are omitted and instead a little bright light sparks in the middle of the A and then the star fades in on theAand the logo zooms out a little.

FX/SFX: The flaming star and the dust transitioning to text.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on USA Home Video VHS prints of Franklin & Friends tapes and can also be spotted on some VHS and DVD prints of other family films and cartoons and religious tapes.

Editor's Note: None.
