As the camera passes the slabs, metal faces emerge from the walls and the camera takes a sharp turn around and above the slabs, eventually rotating into place. This reveals a giant monolith with several cuts in it, forming a (very wonky-looking) "M" with several different details. Below it is the red text "</font><font><font color="#ff0000" face="Impact">M O N O L I T H</font>" in a bold Impact-like font. The monolith shines with a pinkish sheen as it slowly zooms into<br/><br/><u>FX/SFX</u><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: Early computer animation, and pretty impressive for MS-DOS.</font><br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: Low-toned drones are heard throughout, with metallic slashing noises and a quiet 5-note tune.

This is before a laser carves out a triangle and 3 searchlights appear over the surface. Another triangle is drawn, followed by a inverted triangle, in which the screen flashes and reveals a refined version of the logo from before. The searchlights focus on the bottom of the monolith as "MONOLITH", this time in a slender font, emerges from the bottom with a relief effect. The laser then returns to write the word "PRODUCTIONS" in a different font, with steam coming off of it. The URL then appears below for a bit until it and the</font><font color="#000000"><br/></font><font color="#000000"><br/></font><font color="#000000"><u>FX/SFX</u>: The fog, lasers, and searchlights.</font><font color="#000000"><br/></font><font color="#000000"><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: Helicopter rotors and voice recordings can be heard throughout the logo.

The gear then fades to some letters quickly passing over each other and zooming in, all in a stylized font. Another shot of the gear appears, but at a different angle and switches over to a quick pass over shot of the letters, making the word "MONOLITH". It then fades to a slab with the letters cut out of it, with smoke pouring out of it. More shots of the gear and letters follow before revealing a zombie-like figure moving in the smoke. Shots of the letters with the figure in it move across the screen before it suddenly rushes towards the screen multiple times, before finally zooming out to the text fully in frame.<br/><br/><u>FX/SFX</u>: The gears, the letters, the figure's movements.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: Sounds of gears, metal clanging, and the like before metallic swooshes take over at the end and suddenly stops, leaving a echo for a bit.</font></font><div><font color="#000000" size="3"><br/><u>Availability</u>: Uncommon.

The material forming the text slowly turns grey and a small light starts to emerge from the center.
