Logo (Mid-Late 1980's)
Visuals: On a black background, the metallic text "serif" pops in suddenly at the top half of the screen. The black background then peels away like a sticker, revealing a cream background, as well as the rest of the text: "serif", with "serif" stacked below.

Variant: A long version exists where the logo starts with the cream background and the black background rising up like a paper and covering the whole screen. The rest of the logo plays out.

Technique: Computer effects.

Audio: The first few seconds of "Where's the Walrus?" by The Alan Parsons Project. Other times, it'll be silent.

Availability: Can be found on old VHS of Scarecrows, Crystalstone, Dr. Hackenstein, No Safe Haven, Terror Squad, Return to Mayberry, Captive Rage, Dark Tower, Mob War, Search and Destroy, Covert Action, No Retreat, No Surrender 2: Raging Thunder, Perry Mason Returns, Bloodstone and Edge of the Axe, among other titles. It makes a surprise appearance at the end of an Impact print of Static (1985); the same print was also shown on Comet.
