BREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTBREIL ENTERTAINMENTin Helvetica and looking metallic. The words shine. But then, the camera zooms out and rotates to the top of the blocks, and we see many white lines writing in a white and metallic BREIL ENTERTAINMENT. The rainbow text then merge themselves then disappear,"A DIVISION OF LINUX PRODUCTIONS/THE BREIL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP" appears and shines in below in a metillac white, as the logo shines.

Variant: There is a short version, in which the logo starts when the camera rotates to the top view.

FX/SFX:Too much to describe.

Cheesy Factor: Absolutely none,it's all great (sometimes boring) CGI. More like a accurate recreation of the early 1985 logo.

Music: The CBS/Fox 1983/84 fanfare,reorchestrated,with various whooshing sounds for the lines moving around and forming. The short version starts at the second part of the theme. New Friends Tonight lacks the 'whoosing' sounds.

Availability: Can be seen on the newest shows by Breil Entertainment.

Scare Factor: Low, the whooshing might catch you off guard, but it's a awesome logo.
