Logo: On a grayish-blue gradient background, we see the corporate Shires logo in white. A bright star comes from the top of the letter S and makes an arch of light which gets brighter as the star falls. The star then 'explodes' next to the logo and makes a plus symbol slightly curved to match the arch. Right when it does this, the word 'ORIGINAL' appears beneath the logo, with the text appearing to 'slide out' from the 'O'.

FX/SFX: The star, the arch, the 'explosion' and the words appearing.

Music/Sounds: A quiet, somber synthesized note, followed by a crack-like sound when the plus is formed.

Availability: Seen on Shires+ original programs, such as The Wonderful World of Cuthbert Lilly, Scotty-Doo and Guess Who?, and, to name a few.
