(1980s)
Visuals: On a black background, four triangles move inward to form one bigger triangle. A white caption "serif" rises from the bottom to the center of the triangle. Next, a box pans out to reveal a burgundy background, with a yellow outline of a sun in the top left corner and a pharaoh in each bottom corner. The previously mentioned "serif" text appears in the center of the screen, and it looks like the pharaohs are presenting the text. "serif" slides down to the bottom of the screen after everything else on the background disappears, and above it, a yellow square with a triangle inside of it fades in. The box and the text disappear, and the burgundy background fades to "Courier" in a computer-like font on a black background. The text disappears after 6 seconds.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The beginning of "Live to Tell" by Madonna.

Availability: Probably seen on releases from this company at the time, which are hard to find.
