Visuals: On a dark-blue background, two red handwritten Mandarin characters "太元" quickly zoom in from the middle thrice, with the third repetition being slower for it to stop as the English text "A Tai Yuan Film Co., Ltd. Production" in gold along with the Mandarin translation on top wipe in below the characters not so long after. Before the text finishes wiping in, A ball of light appears in front of the "太元" and shines briefly before disappearing, followed by a shine passing through the gold text set below, leaving a trail of sparks. It stays static for the next 8 seconds before it cuts to another dark-blue background where the same handwritten "太元" zooms in for the second time while blinking rapidly with the same set of gold texts performing the same action after the characters stop zooming. In this segment, two sets of vertical red Mandarin texts "今看好片" on the left and "記在太元" on the right wipe in one-by-one.

Technique: Backlit cel animation.

Audio: A loud and triumphant fanfare split into two parts with eight timpani hits at the start and middle.

Availability: Seen in Seven Knights and presumably in My Grandfather.
