Logo: We start by seeing a thick white line surrounded by a red circle. The circle moves revealing smaller circles with a different colour. As the circles disappear, the white line turns right, revealing a huge and detailed compass drawing with the numbers "1492" in it. The camera then zooms out in a box as the compass spins a few times around and disappears while the numbers "1492" remain in the background, which is a landscape of an ocean and clouds. The word "PICTURES" is seen below. The waves move in the logo after it is completely formed.
FX: Impressive animation.
Music/Sounds: A very dramatic and heroic orchestral fanfare.
Availability: Currently, this logo can be seen on Night at the Museum.
