Logo: An animated sequence is shown featuring various Creative Engineering characters chattering in a movie theater before Billy Bob points at the screen. The scene cuts to the screen itself showing a theater countdown going "3, 2, 1", panning until it covers the entire frame. The screen cuts to black, and a flash appears, covering the entire screen in beige. The Creative Engineering logo appears.
