Logo: Two silver arches are being drawn by light streaks on a black/blue gradient background. After they appear in place, "RSL" zooms in out of a flash explosion. The whole logo shines.

Variant: Sometimes, "ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION" is chyroned underneath. Also, there is a short variant where the logo just shines.

Technique: Motion-controlled animation

Music/Sounds: A distorted synth sound while the arches are being drawn, followed by a news-like repeating synth as RSL is revealed. For the short variant, the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on movies released by this company at the time, and on early episodes of Night Heat. It also appeared on a VHS of One Night Only.
