Editora Luz e Vida

Background
Editora Luz e Vida (formerly known as Arvicris, short for Artes Visuais Cristãs) is a Brazilian Christian company founded in 1954 by a group of missionaries who had come to Brazil from Marburg, Germany. The company is mostly known for the comic series Smilingüido, which spawned a series of merchandise and direct-to-video films.

A flash of light then appears and quickly moves towards the right side of the logo, before the logo fades to black.

Technique: CGI animation.
