Logo: On a white background, a cartoon monkey pops up from the bottom of the screen. It starts swinging around the screen on a vine, sporting different outfits every time it passes by. Finally the monkey slams into the screen and lands on a circle, still holding the vine. The green-yellow gradient text "SWINGIN' APE" pops in above the circle, and "STUDIOS" pops in below.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A violin sting when the monkey first appears, followed by a fast drum beat accompanied by monkey noises. There is a cymbal crash when the circle appears.

Editor's Note: None.
