Nicknames: "The Wobbly Bass"

Logo: As we fade to the black/midnight blue /fern nebula in the starfield (a la Space Ghost Coast to Coast), the rusty circular oscilloscope fades in and slowly backs out, while the green line moves inside. When the droning synth increases in frequency cutoff, rusty "Impact" and "Impact" blurs in and zooms out, serving the oscilloscope as the letter O in "Impact". After that, the word "LABORATORIES" fades in below.

FX/SFX: The oscilloscope, the appearance of the words.

Variants:
 * There is a Christmas variant where the oscilloscope wears a Santa Claus hat.
 * There is also a variant without the "LABORATORIES" word.

Music/Sounds: A wobbling synth bass.

Availability: Appears on films from the company, such as We Need to Talk About Kevin and Buzzard.

Editor's Note: None.
