After a few seconds, the Wilson Pictures logo turns upright as it zooms out, revealing a realistic cloud background. Jade Wilson in a yellow-ish green blouse with a black shirt underneath it, blue jeans with a golden belt, purple boots and gold earrings and an orange bracelet on her left wrist appears to the left, does a Vanna White-like pose, and she crosses her arms and the 20th Century Studios byline fade in as the logo shines and Jade winks at them.

Variants:
 * 30th Anniversary Variant: After the 20th Century Studios logo and before the previous Wilson Pictures logo, A montage of Wilson Pictures office/mansion throughout the years while two lines and rectangles showing footage from earlier Wilson Pictures films playing placed side by side while they did the same logo and "30" and "YEARS" appear from behind the logo and move away to surround it.
