Logo: On a black background, there are two unfolding words; "Firehorse" in red with the second part of the F, and makes an odd shape connected in place and the circle to dot the I and "Films" in pink which zooms out all in a hard-to-describe font, connected to each other except for that horse thing as well as a white flash from the first F, all of which is zooming out.

Variant: Sometimes, a copyright fades in.

Technique: The flash and the zooming of the words.

Music/Sounds: Fireworks shooting and a horse's galloping noise which is followed by the same horse neighing.
