1st Logo (1988-1998)

More filmstrips swirl, and then a blue movie camera slides toward the screen, and then we see a orange girl looking up at the camera, and more filmstrips swirl toward the screen as the body appears, while the filmstrip disappears as the arched word "INITIAL" fades in below the logo. Extra credit info fades in below the logo.
