Michael Jackson

Background
This was the vanity card of .

Logo (October 29, 1988, July 24, 1990)
Visuals: Over a black background, the logo starts with the legs of Michael Jackson walking across a stage slowly as a spotlight follows his every move. He is clad in his iconic outfit from his "Billie Jean" stage performance. We later see sparkles shine on his white socks and start to flow down as Michael walks and later stands still. The sparkles later flow up to his legs and follow his moves as Michael starts dancing. He then stands on his toes while bending his knees as the sparkles turn the image into a stylized 2D design (as seen in the Optimum Productions logo), forming lines from his paints and shoes as the sparkles flow down from the lines all in a light blue or white color. The name "MICHAEL JACKSON" later fades in below.

Variants:
 * On the arcade version of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, there is no text below the design.
 * On the home computer version of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, the design is white and instead of "MICHAEL JACKSON", the game's title appears below.

Technique: A mix of live-action and 2D computer animation.

Audio: The sound of footsteps as Michael walks across the stage. We later hear the sound of sparkles as he stands still and as Michael starts to dance, followed by an electric guitar chord and audience cheering.

Availability: Appears on Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, as well as the arcade and home computer games based on it.
