Visuals: On a black background, we see a white outlined stylized bucket-like with rays sticking out of it. Golden liquid sticks out of the bucket, forming a thin bar attached to it and when it's formed, the company's name is wiped in upwards, and it all flashes in white. The rays are now, the name is all in with a white outline around it. It all shines at a fast pace.

Technique: Backlit cel animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: Spotted on a reprint of the 1934 short film Once Upon a Time.
