-'''Nicknames:''' "The Yellow/Pink/Blue Square II", "Space Square"
-'''Logo:''' We dissolve from the FBI warning screen of the time to a very slow zooming space background, where a yellow comet flies in from the right of the screen and after reaching the top left curves towards the center and disappears. Then three yellow circles give way to the logo from before outline by outline. when the logo is completely formed it becomes 3D.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The comet and the animation of the squares.
+'''Technique:''' A still graphic.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' A deep 5 note synth theme with a whoosh sound taking place after the first note followed by 4 lighter notes.
+'''Audio:''' A humming choir.
-'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on ''Zombie High'', ''The War Boy'', and the Jackie Chan movie ''Police Story'' (released as ''Jackie Chan's Police Force'', probably to avoid confusion with the 1973 TV series also called ''Police Story'').
+'''Availability:'''  Seen on later tapes from the era, like ''The Kidnapping of Baby John Doe''.
-'''Editor's Note:''' None.
