Lamb & Company created some of the world's first flying logos when it acquired the first license of Wavefront software, allowing them to do production internally without relying on film or outside film support services. The Wavefront Preview software complemented their Oxberry equipment by allowing staff to previsualize the work being done on the computer controlled animation camera. This way of working was a 'preview' of the coming the shift to computer graphics in the industry at large.

About the same time, Larry bought the core animation technology developed at Cranston Csuri, one of a handful of 'original' computer animation companies that passed into history. This substantial body of 'prior art' in animation technology served as the basis for Lamb & Company's internal development efforts.
