Logo: In a subway tunnel, in a space background, the words "Amvest Video" starts zooming in from the center. The tunnel also lights up when the words pass it. When it finishes zooming in, the tunnel fades out. The words then shine.

FX/SFX: Early CGI animation, and you can still see some of the blue used in the Chroma key process.

Music/Sounds: A rearrangement of Sunrise from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (well known as the song used in 2001: A Space Odyssey), with a whoosh and some twinkling sounds before and after the tunnel fades out.

Availability: Extremely Rare. Amvest Video went out of business quickly and tapes were not common even back then. Can be found on a VHS of The Many Faces of Bond.

Editor's Note: None.
