(1996-2002)
Logo: On a black background, rays of white light zoom from the bottom of the screen, expanding as they ascend. during this time the background fades from black to sky blue, revealing that some of the rays are black. the rays finish ascending and form into the Arts Magic logo, which looks like a joker card but with “Arts” and “MagiC” written on the top left and bottom right of the card.
FX/SFX: TBA
Music/Sounds: An ascending sparkle/twinkle tune is heard while the black and white rays ascend from the bottom of the screen, and a strange Roland TB-303-styled bass note is held down as the Arts Magic logo is formed.
Availability: Seen on VHS releases of Titans of Steam, Classic Trains, A Feast of Steam, and Strange Trains, among others.
Editor's Note: For the time period, this animation is inexcusable, and would've been better off being from two decades earlier.
