'''Logo:''' On a blue cloudy background, we see a blue marble stairways, which then walks and then turns to the screen, and the camera position then rotates to left, and then turns to see the last stairways, which we see a golden "T", a double two blocks stacked with bars forming the "T". The logo then pull the carving of the marble, which we see "TEAM" and "WORK" with "PRODUCTION HOUSE LIMITED" in a Century Schoolbook font with "T" and "W" begin larger, and "P", "H" and "L" also larger, fades in, then Chinese characters, which are in orange, fades in below the company, then the logo turns up into 2D/3D effect, which then finishes the logo until fades out shortly. |

'''Variants:''' |

*There is a another variant when the camera then rotates at first then rotates to top and then the logo continues at normal. |

*A deteriorated version has spotted on the Thai dub of ''Saviour of the Soul I''. |

'''Technique:''' The stairways, the T turning and the name turning. |

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 12-note moog synth sound effect, then a synth tune fanfare, ending with a "Thud!" when the logo turns. The 2nd theme used a 18-note arpeggio sounder, which then segues a slow 2-note in the theme. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Seen on some TeamWork Production House films, like ''Saviour of the Soul'' I and II, ''Tian Di'', ''The Moon Warriors'' and ''Game Kids'' (also known as ''Game Boy Kids''). The other variant is rare and it was found on the Nontanund print of ''Saviour of the Soul I'' and ''Never Ending Summer'', which can be viewed either on Facebook and Tencent Video. |

'''Logo:''' We see a blocks moving on a space background, from a aerial view, which we see a orange block driving on the space, the block then "connects" twice, then more blocks connects twice on the screen, revealing the black background and then forms "'''teamWork'''" in a 2-bit game font, which then flashes and dies. The logo then zooms and then "blurs" twice, which then zooms out to reveal the current logo. "MOTION PICTURES LIMITED" appears via moving letters. |
